I have heard from several people that it is possible for a person to see the activity of everyone else on the entire campus network. (downloads, pages visited etc)

How can i do this and, more importantly, how can i keep my activities anonymous?

Only the administrator can see this. You will be limited to what's on a given wireless network or subnet.

Basically, the best way to stay anonymous is to just tunnel everything out through SSH. Everything. This isn't real anonymity, but it's anonymity as far as you're concerned. You can also use Tor, setting the FascistFirewall value to whatever's needed.

lol..that's just rude.

Well, the thing is, he wasn't asking for anonymity. He was asking for immunity from snooping sysadmins. So I gave him his answer, and reminded him that it wasn't really anonymity, just a very watered-down sense of it.

I didn't mean to sound "That's all you get, peon". I'm just terse, and I come off as hostile a lot.

So, whats real Anonymity in your sense, I just need to clear up things in my mind that is all.

Not true, only the administrator account (which conveniently fell into my hands last year)- so I got to see everything happening on my school network, yet I was not administrator.

But I know what you mean. Either way it was awfully boring, I just banned some accounts with rap music. (However I was tempted to switch up the printer locations...)

I thought this was assumed, but yes, you're right.

post reserved for a future answer (it's a long one and I don't want to half-ass it).

Thanks, no worries take your time.

And yet... we get off topic AGAIN!
