Suspicious housemate

[programm]

My housemate always waiting until I return to my room, because while Im in my room - I usually turn on PC.

So it means that housemate somehow benefits when I turn on my PC.

 

My PC have: network driver not installed, ethernet wire unplugged. I dont share this PC.

 

Do housemate can benefit from my internetless PC?

 

Housemate have: iphone; ipad; laptop without admin acc access; access to socket ( to that socket is connected TV adaptors, so I quess that socket has access to ISP anthenna ( on the roof) which provides internet and TV )

 

I suspect that housemate somehow can use my PC hardware, because everytime I return to my room ( or do not turn on PC for +20minutes ) housemate starts reconnect something like wire or usb - sometimes bashes socket aswell.

What's he plugging in? I'd get a different housemate, for all you know he's plugged in a keylogger and has access to your banking information right now, among other logins.

Clearly you use the internet because you made this post...

 

Also, how do you hear he's plugging stuff in, but you can't see it? You know you can get behind your PC and check the IO, right?

 

EDIT: Ignore the 7, typo

He is bashing the socket IF I DO NOT TURN ON PC FOR ATLEAST 20 MINUTES, because he "expects something goes wrong", he dont expect I suspect him.

I use internet when housemate is not in the house.
There is 2 not fat walls, I can hear even when is walking. And distance between our rooms is 2-3 metres.

thats just what YOU think...

 

you said he doesnt have physical access to your pc and the pc isnt connected to network... how do you think he would be able to set up anything...

How about you check the IO before and after he leaves? Or lock your door?

When I said 'physical' - I mean he cant turn on pc and touch mouse+keyboard.

But he may access PC hardware somehow via iphone->Anthenna wires->electric wires->My PC

But you're saying he's plugging stuff in. Does he have physical access or not?

When I leave my room - yes I Lock it. Then ( once im not in the room ) housemate usually goes to sleep.

Direct to PC not. Unless soehow via electric lines or ethernet/TV bubble.

[KingArchlich]

So if he can physically access your PC then it is slightly possible. Next time you boot up then check whether or not there are any programs out of place. If you're that paranoid, then do a nuke and reinstall. Make sure to set basic protection standards (bios/uefi passwords) or just simply lock your door...

I'm completely lost. From what you're saying, your door is locked, yet somehow your housemate is going into your room at plugging stuff into your computer. You're also saying that he can't touch your computer. Please, organize your thoughts, and make sense before you post. You're just contradicting yourself and confusing people that are trying to help you.

But if you're PC is off, like you said it was, then it's impossible.

My room door is locked when im not iin my room.
When im in my room - PC is guarded.

 

He could "touch" my computer only via electric lines or if ISP anthena spreading signals.

Well, is anything different with your computer after he supposedly "touches" it? Cause I personally think you're either paranoid, or you should move out (probably the former).

It's possible to collect data from power lines, but we're talking extremelyslow transfer speeds and reallyexpensiveand big equipment. Not something he can simply hide.

I'mnot trying to be rude here, but is there free access to psyciatric healthcare in your country? Because by the way you describe this siutation, both of you may benefit from some sort of therapy.

OP is in his bedroom. He can hear his housemate walking around the house. 20 minutes later he hears his housemate plugging something in to a wall socket. Thinks that the housemate is remotely hacking in to his PC through the ethernet in the walls or perhaps wifi.

The housemate is probably just plugging in his phone charger or something similar.

I dont understand why you say it.

Back to the topic - I was in house entire day, and wasnt turned on PC at all- I heard that roommate was calling to someone with semi-crying voice. SOmething is...

Some correction:

housemate walking around IN HIS ROOM, not in entire house.
If i do not turn on PC or TURN OFF PC, he keeps reconnecting something every 10 or 15 or 20 minutes, charger would be connected once, that isnt charger.

Perhaps you should ask him if he is okay. Talk to him and say that you noticed he seemed to be upset and ask if there's anything you can do to help.

[Neftex]

just ASK

"hey, why do you keep bashing the socket, im trying to sleep/relax"...

 

"hey are you OK? i think i heard you crying"

 

you are paranoid and from your description there really isnt much to prove hes doing something shady

Yeah, you're definitely paranoid. I'd seriously go talk to someone if I were you. I'm not trying to be rude, but seriously.

It may just be language barrier, but there are some paranoid tendencies in your writing. I'm not saying you're crazy, but I would definitely seek out some help. It's not for us to diagnose you, but if you do have some paranoid tendencies, you should seek help as soon as possible as it's likely to only get worse untreated.

If this and other things keep you up at night, seek help. If you just think it's weird, then maybe your housemate is weird, or maybe he is sick.

It is not bad idea. But he usually bashing that socket at 22:00, while his room lights is turned off. he doing, because make impression that "he sleeps" and expecting nobody hears it. Clearly hiding something, as there was previous scenarios. 
I.E. If I turn off PC, he goes to toilet and locks for up to 2 hous, he expect that I will think, "he is in toilet, I can turn on PC and use safe",  while soaking my pc resources in the toilet iwht a iphone.

You may be right here, but I dont't think he's hiding what you think he's hiding. It's far more likely that he's on drugs, or really sick, or even contemplating suicide TBH.

I'm sorry to say, but seeing this, I would think you're either trolling or paranoid.

You cannot steal info through the power line because it connects to your PSU. Your data doesnt go through the PSU at all.
