What Does Your ISP Know About You?

Can your ISP see everything you send and receive through their pipes, or is it more complicated than that?

I was waiting for the tunnel bear ad, still a great video though.

[arooobine]

But if my data is private how will I be able see relevant ads for a product 5 weeks after I already purchased it?

Friend: "I dont mind, I have nothing to hide anyway"
Me: "Hmm... So, can I rummage through your phone?"
Friend: "What?!? NO, Thats private!"

When Luke says "The vast majority of us has done something online that we sorta not rather share with the rest of the world."

PORN... he means porn.

Bigger Luke, commonly abbreviated to BL, or more uncommonly BgL, is the slightly larger manifestation of Luke Skywalker that is said to appear in certain scenes of the original Star Wars Trilogy, contrasting to Regular Luke.

The appearance of Bigger Luke in a particular scene is generally, but not always, judged relative to the height of Han Solo, and as such Han is the primary go-to frame of reference amongst Bigger Luke Theorists. Because of this, "No Han Pics"(commonly abbreviated to NHP) are generally discouraged, as it is very difficult to determine Luke's height without Han Solo as a constant frame of reference. Whilst uncommon, the use of other Star Wars characters to judge Luke's height are not unheard of. The second most common character to judge if Bigger Luke is in the scene or not has generally been Obi-Wan, followed closely by Princess Leia. The activity of combing the original Star Wars trilogy for instances of Bigger Luke is known as Luking.

This is actually fun to watch, i called my own ISP a few years back and told them to bridge their equipment where i afterwards sat up my own enterprise firewall (old laptop) after their equipment. I did this because i found out that they were scanning my local network and saving information such as device vendors + type ect.

From the DNS information you can get a broad idea of what someone are doing, maybe. Not all ISP's want to save any information on you since it costs cash to do so.
I for one is all in for encryption, it's not the ISP or goverments place to snoop on you just because they can. An inexpensive solution could also be to purchase 3x VPS services around the world for around 5$ each a month, setup VPN to each of them and than say.

Traffic category 1 like HTTP, HTTPS can go to VPS1
Traffic category 2 like DNS, VOIP / other can go to VPS2
Traffic category 3 whatever data goes to VPS3
and traffic you dont care about just go through your ISP as normal.

Of course it's still possible to connect all the traffic to a single individual but the point for me would be that, it would cost to much man power versus reward that anyone in their right mind would do it.

Their are ofcourse also services like TOR that allows for some of this stuff to go through their network.

Hey, my ISP.
I really hope that you're not checking out the things I'm downloading.
If you are... plz don't tell the govument.

I think that would be a good idea to make a video telling which settings on a game impact on which part of a GPU, like highering the resolutions impacts more on the ROPs (raster operators) and etc. telling which kind of settings or filters impact more on which part of the gpu. this would help a lot to understand which settings you should increase or decrease to make your games runs faster depending on the gpu you have

I think it's a little creepy knowing that every time I call my ISP for support, they can look up my browsing history and see what I've been doing.

Just let Bonzi Buddy run some port scans.

This is why you:
-always use your gamer tag
-always set your birthyear to 1836
-always set your location to Azerbaijan
-always send delivered products to the neighbor's house and laugh about how clumsy FedEx is

ISPs typically only keep track of login times and login IPs to keep track of what user is using the system at what time. They don't monitor specific information unless there's a legal issue. They're just not allowed to. And it would put a demand on resources. Frankly, one can learn a lot more about a person from Facebook and the like.

You missed an opportunity for some classic Rick Rolling at 1:27

[codex]

Lol, my ISP must be scared for life since I always look for some kinky stuff

[esraeloh]

You have a really nice flow, it's very rare that I find any1 who speaks with a good flow & not just rambling on like brains just remember a long chain of data.

Your humor ends up giving just the right pauses & they also end up cementing the end of your points, for me anyway.

[bttlemastr]

The question is, what information do they actually track in practice, ie., what data are they legally allowed to track or store.
