Q: unknown shared pc on finder

Hi everybody,

 

A couple of days ago i have been seen a unknow shared pc on my finder, so i try some things to remove it from there:

 

- 1st: i changed the wireless network password

- 2nd: i restore the airport express and reconfigured it

- 3rd: i put my network in acces control mode and listed all my MAC adress of all my devices there

 

In all cases the unknown pc still there.

 

Somebody may help me to remove it from my finder or know wich device is it

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

    I had this problem and clicked on Finder>Finder Preferences and then unchecked "Bonjour Computers" and the Shared computers immediately disappeared.  I don't know what I've done exactly or what overall effect it has, but at least I'm not having to stare at the mysterious shared computer name anymore.

    Of course that works your just hiding it , your not getting rid of the problem , which lies in the sharing setting .. Turn them on .. Click options and uncheck all the boxes you see checked should be 2 . Done

    Discovered a strange shared device in the finder sidebar today named "cha1nb10320".  Get Info produces the same lack of information as reported by others.  Guest User has always been off.  File sharing was on (AFP only) and, as soon as I turned it off, the PC disappeared. 

    No one seems to have responded as to it's being a real breach.  Any opinions on that?

    How is this breach manifested, what does it do?

    A printer with SD card slots is a common cause.

     

    You can use something like

    Bonjour Browser

    <http://www.tildesoft.com>

    Flame

    <http://husk.org/apps/flame/>

    to view the devices advertising via Bonjour on your home network.  This can be helpful.

     

    WakeOnLan gives local network IP and MAC addresses

    <http://www.readpixel.com/wakeonlan/index.html>

    I find that this utility is very good at finding every device on the home LAN that has an IP address.  I never use it to wake anything up, but just to find local IP addresses and if it has a name, it gives me that.

     

    Between these utilities I can generally figure out what is on my LAN

    You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is a couple of years old and marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.
