I Installed a P2P Blocking Package Tonight
If you're running any p2p software I highly recommend you install Peer Guardian or MoBlock. I run Azureus and see for Kubuntu's DVD and FreeBSD 6.2 just to give back to the community, and I've been seeing strange crap on the firewall logs. So on the advice of a buddy I installed this software which basically keeps a blacklist of known RIAA, MPAA, etc addresses so that when an app on your PC tries to contact them or they try to contact you the packets are dropped. No packets, no evidence collection about what you're doing.
I'll bet not 5s goes by that I don't get a blocked inbound packet from one of these snapperheads. Hell, I just got pinged by Time Warner Telecom and I'm on freaking Everest. These "Technological Systems CJVC" jerkoffs are incredibly persistent. You know, if you're going to write some software to sniff out pirates you might want to make it smart enough to not wind up downloading a bunch of s**t you can legally get for free. http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2 Last edited by Simplex3; 02-02-2007 at 12:34 AM.. |

The sooner they get PG2 functional for Vista the better. I feel like I can't run torrents right now.

That HTTP one bugs me it says it always always connections from port 80 and 443 even if they are in the blocked list.......I'm not sure I want to check that.

I enjoy how I'm getting all sorts of blocks from.....places like Purdue and Rutgers.....
And the P2P doesn't seem to want to update it "can't find the tracker" or some such. |

I like the theory behind the software but can't understand how it would be able to differentiate between a 'legit' peer at one of those IPs vs. someone trying to monitor what you’re downloading.
I’m unable to check out their FAQ section at the moment though however because of being at work. Being a Bittorrent user though I’ll certainly look more into it package. Thanks |
