Go right ahead. It's perfectly safe. I do it all the time. No one will ever know. :doh:

It doesn't mean that the network-admin cannot check what sites you have visited.
Being a network admin myself this is easy to do. One quick and easy way is the network dns servers have rotating logs.

I was always curious about this myself. Not really for 'porn' reasons..I have better things to do. But I noticed on my work laptop they have things like BlackIce installed and probably a few other things. What all are you, as an admin, able to capture?
I do not use any client software because there is already enough information in the dns logs. The dns logs show every domain name to ipaddress lookup every computer has done over a few week period. Pretty easy to find porn sites in that. Although I admit my purpose is not to spy on users and this can be easily broken if you know the real ipaddress of the porn site and avoid any external links...

:laugh: That's awesome. Of course they don't mention the most important thing: everything you do gets sent back to google so they can complete their exhaustive profiles of everyone on the planet. But they promise not to abuse that knowledge, so it's okay.

Right, that makes sense. Wouldn't you use a tool though to parse that log by IP address? I work at a huge company and I can imagine their dns log's are outrageous, there would have to be a reason to sift through the logs, or take the time to do it. I'm not too concerned about porn sites, but I don't want to get hammered if I can be seen going to Monster.com or something, or myspace even. I thought it was a good idea for chrome to have the cognito option on it. But at work there really isn't much difference. You can get the same affect without cognito by just remembering to clear private data before you close - unless cognito does something different.

The dns servers are on linux and have GB of free space for the logs since most of the dns servers are installed as their own machine. I could easily sort and search for porn sites against a list automatically and nightly using a cron job. And then if anything is found it could email me the ip addresses of the computers that were visiting these sites.

Like already mentioned, the browser not tracking the pages isn't the issue. Any sane business has a firewall these days. And it's tracking everything going in and out. Here, we track the client hostname+IP, target hostname+IP, file, time, user logged in, size, etc. The admins analyze the hit frequency, bandwith load, check the hosts against common lists. Unless the person is under inspection by the boss, they don't do anything about it. If the network is groaning and lights are dimming from the pr0n or P2P, you're gonna get it. If your work is slipping, or you are up for promotion, better watch your surfing.
