      @JonathanLee - What do you mean by "airgap"? Thanks. I know I have to isolate the pc, use egress filtering and lock everything down except for isolated rules. I hate to admit that at the present moment I forgot how to do that and my networking book not in sight. I have alot that is connecting to the infected pc including a MITM, alot of unnecessary broadcasting, a ton of unnecessary DNS, simple discovery's, and a form attached to our router credential hackers - capturing everything we do. Kids in town have recently stalked me with what we watch and other businesses have told me it's visible. And a "dial" something with a multi-screen listed.
      I'll take all suggestions of the simplest and easiest way to do that. Thanks in advance. As I'm typing, they like to highlight specific key words. Not a joke.

        @JKnott , @SteveITS , @JonathanLee - Does anyone know if the community edition uses less CPU than the professional edition of pfsense? I thought I bought a large enough HD (8GB) for the pro and without Suricata it's already using around 30%. They do what they want whenever they want to us, including showing me spyware is included (which they like to turn on the mic whenever they're "upset" with me). And they do know where I live. I can definitely go buy a new networking book but I'd hope that someone would just easily explain it here. Link it in whatever. The details.

          @smoses “air gap” means no connection, no LAN, no wires or wireless. IOW why is this infected device so important that it can’t be disconnected?

          CPU usage is not related to CE/Plus. It can be related to packages, bandwidth usage, and hardware.

          Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

            @smoses I have no idea what you think you have going on.. I really don't buy any of this to be honest.

            What is you want pfsense to do? Block some ports, block the internet? Out of the box no ports are allowed in. If you don't want the pc to go somewhere (IP) or network or Ports.. Then create a rule that blocks those on the lan interface.

            I've been capturing network traffic and I know the majority of what needs to be blocked

            You said you sniffed and know what to block? Ok then block it.. Lets see these pcaps, show us something other than simple paranoia to be honest.

            5-10 minutes before it was hacked with a MITM accessing my webcam.

            Man in the middle accessing your webcam?? Sure Ok ;)

            From reading this thread - seems like someone watching too much mr robot if you ask me.

            If you tell us what you want to block, be more than happy to help you accomplish that. Love to see this pcap showing us what you want to block..

            So you run any antivirus on this machine? What is it infected with? That survives a clean OS install? Do you want some suggestions for anit-virus? Windows Defender doesn't show anything - what about malwarebytes? What software have you run to try and detect what is installed that is keylogging any send the info to them?

            Best practice you should isolate this PC to its own vlan, so it can not talk to any of your other devices. This can be done physically or with a vlan capable switch.

            this would be basic locked down network, where any device on this network couldn't do anything to any of your other networks.

            basicrules.jpg

            Then once you tell use what you want to stop the machine from talking to on the internet, we can show how to do that - the rules would go above the last rule that allows the internet.

            First thing I would do is set that last rule to log - so you can see where the PC is going.. As a start.

              Sorry for the late response. I received the Norton alert within 10-15 minutes and did arp -a and it IS at least one, two MITM's. Sorry it's late.

                  @smoses I DO have the keylogger and the ingenuine files screenshots that matches our network traffic. I DO have a IT degree and background. I'm not known to be wrong. Never had this before. Our devices have been on the network. Some of the network nasty-ness is specific to me with my name included.
                  I've tried multiple or all antiviruses, it's been to a pc repair with scans and nothing found. Only in the network traffic indicated from a hostile network. They've had full control. I can update Firefox. That doesn't fix the router hackers, people who can see it and are stalking our house because of it. That's why I posted it several times. I was told a different forum so it went in another forum. Who cares that much about multiple posts really? that's not the problem.

                    @smoses so mac address of what your router, that is a netgear mac address. 192.168.0.1 - most likely your netgear router. A 169.254 is a APIPA address.. I have zero clue to what that is suppose to show or you want that to show - but it sure and the hell is not a MITM..

                    Your browser accessing your webcam? That is your proof - of what??

                    OMG - the RU black hats have infected my machine..

                    hacked.jpg

                    If you have a degree in computer science then show us what is going on - not just more nonsense... Your on your phone and you get some RU lang hits in a search engine? You on a vpn? You your language set wrong?

                          At this point I want you to do something for me: Take a photo of your router and post it here.

                          In your packet capture I see a number of things that could be in the middle and at aplay.
                          Zyxel
                          ASUS

                          Your base IP range is 192.168.0.0
                          But your computer gets 192.168.1.0

                          You have Netgear (not Netgate) hardware appearing and addresses related to that manufacturer in your posts.

                          Also a drawing of what is plugged in and how -- it doesn't have to perfect lines but it would need to be legible.

                          It seems to me as though you have many different pieces cobbled together and it is possible one of those is your root issue.

                            @rcoleman-netgate The double mac address is a mitm of another machine, that I made a windows reimage download usb drive on a "supposedly" clean machine which turned out to be the most infected. The other machine - as soon as I connected it to a different wifi, I received the Norton alert and I did the arp -a, showing duplicate mac addresses. I was not using anything to access my webcam. I used Norton VPN. I tried another VPN, same thing. It didn't make a difference. My cursor was moving also. They ARE MITMS. Back in the original network, there's a ton of CA network traffic and I'm causing data breaches. I'm not stupid. I wouldn't be posting anything on here if it weren't for the stupid derogatory comments which is typical in the IT field. I normally avoid it. I wouldn't post if I "had the language set wrong". They are my SSN hackers using my healthcare. I'm THE data breaches and gov has verified I am supplying tv shows and movies. I went to the FBI and spoke to two cybercrime agents in person, who also told me specific information and it's been correct.
                            My phones have been on our network over and over again. The pictures I'm forced to take of stalking, turned my USB drives into "rubber duckies" and my GOV accounts have been hacked with the librarian telling me and she took a picture.
                            Some credit rather than being talked down like I'm stupid, would be appreciated. Gov verified my searches are included and illegal surveillance of our house. Stores where my prescriptions are filled have told me, doctors have told me, yet - you're telling me it's "nonsense". I make perfect sense. My birth records are included with my entire family and I'm a business ID. My specific hackers and my PII IS a business ID. I CAN post the specific pictures. It'd be great to be asked that before the OH YEAH - SHOW US DUMMY. PROVE IT. YOU seem STUPID. I've also been told to not use this company as they are likely related to my hackers. The Marvel ARM 1U. That's me. Aries & Gemini lake, etc.
                            My healthcare pointed out "demotses" and that specific network traffic.
                            I appreciate the help. The actual help. It IS an AMD that IS the problem. I've used 5-7-8 different brands / manufacturers. The AMD IS the most problematic / infected. My Pentium hasn't been as infected as the AMD. Dell, HP, Asus, etc. I can also post the impostors of me and all the different locations of them also. and companies. I saved my conversations with Microsoft also. The AMD started conversations with Microsoft on it's own. As in the instant message Hub conversations - started on it's own. I sat and watched it. My parents, grandparents are Marvel characters, aunts, uncles, etc. I'd rather not give out my family tree without a lawyer. Other companies knew one, aunt MAY. The Embers MJ's - when it was open - is 15 minutes from me.

                              @SteveITS - Thank you Steve. It's one of the names in our network traffic also. Perhaps not coincidentally.

                                @johnpoz The 192.168.0.1 was not a netgear router. I was at a coffee shop using wifi. As I said - a pc with a iso windows image that was done on the infected machine - that at that time was supposedly "safe".

                                  @rcoleman-netgate no, it's not a pfsense page. Its on the infected machine on the infected network. Non-genuine or malware files on the the BIOS infected AMD machine. Part of the APT. Healthcare has told me our keystrokes are visible with my purchases. As in the encoded form that is in our network traffic, or somewhere else. That mac address was not pfsense, I was using a different and public wifi.

                                      @johnpoz LinkedIn CISSP professionals college professors teach duplicate mac's are MITM's. Go argue with them. I've verified it with them and other CISSP professionals including a RAT. Maybe the better question is what is proof to you johnpoz? Are you saying the CISSP's are wrong?

                                        @johnpoz There should be a thumbs down button and after enough of them, that person is flagged as unhelpful, sarcastic, demeaning or similar.

                                          Yup maybe the Russian's are hiding in your machine - I mean that has to be the only logical answer.. <rolleyes>

                                          BTW - omg, the Russians must be hacking me as well.. There is a duplicate mac on my network with a 169.254 address..

                                          arp.jpg

                                          Oh shit - there is another duplicate

                                          arp1.jpg

                                          Oh my god, must be the china hackers and the germans, maybe candada is in on it too..

                                          arp2.jpg

                                          Maybe I should contact some CISSP college professors to explain it too me...

                                          Or just maybe - its not RU hackers, and its how networking works when you have a device that likes to use APIPA (the link local 169.254 address space) as well as its normal IP.. No couldn't be that must be hackers doing MITM on my camera..
