These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 OT: Open Sourced FastTrack Clone Off topic (but I thought you guy might want to know), but the FastTrack protocol has been nearly deciphered, clearing the way for third party KaZaA/Morpheus/Grokster clones on a variety of platforms. The project under this is giFT, or the generic interface to fasttrack. Since the FastTrack protocol is so complicated (encrypted everywhere), graphical frontends use giFT as a daemon and talk xml with it, making client development _very_ easy (downloads are also just http-based). webpage is http://gift.sourceforge.net/  |

 Does this mean that we could soon be seeing a Gnutella application that also searches the FastTrack network? And what are the legalities of actually doing that? Isn't the FastTrack network a private one? Wouldn't tapping into that be similar to driving onto someones private driveway? -Pete |

| Doesn't most people run both FastTrack and Gnutella? Don't overestimate the need for having both protocols in the same software. Many people are like me: they run both types of clients (I run Xolox and Morpheus currently) and share the same files. Note that this also means that it is easy to bootstrap the next generation of P2P networks and protocols: just provide any software that rocks and I will share my files there too. BTW, I suggest that someone looks at Inferno/Plan9 (www.vitanuova.com) as a protocol (Styx/9P/2000P) designed for secure distributed processing and resource access. Inferno runs on top of both Linux and Windows, and has a very nice programming environment with the Limbo language. |

| It'd be neat to have both protocols.. No, the fasttrack network is not "private". It is completely legal to reverse engineer a product in order to make a compatable one, like the gift folks did. It's interesting to see the growth of gift, in it's 30 days of existance: http://sourceforge.net/project/stats...group_id=34618 from 0 to 281,778hits/day  |

| Seems Fasttrack is not entirely happy with gIFT, following comes from the gIFT homepage : Synopsis The latest version of Kazaa and Morpehus, version 1.3.3 has broken giFT. We can no longer connect to the network and communicate with other supernodes or nodes. We believe that the protocol was changed in such a way that you must now log into a central server to get a new "key" for generating the cipher state for encryption and decryption. This was a bad move by FastTrack, as it now makes it's network reliant on a centralized server, and possibly puts them in a situation similar to Napster. History of giFT The giFT project was originally set up to create a means to connect to the FastTrack network in an open source manner. While Kazaa originally stated that they were interested in working with the open source community we quickly discovered that it was not the case. They asked us to develop a closed source Linux client, however we decided to go the open source route and start on our own. What entailed was a long, complicated process consisting reverse engineering of the official clients in oder to create a compatible product. Eventually, with the help of some anonymous donors known as "The Givers" we reached a stage where we could connect to the network, and later query, download, and share files. Kazaa/Morpheus v1.3.3 Unfortunately, as of Kazaa/Morpehus versions 1.3.3 (deemed a "security update") FastTrack has been trying to shutdown our open source implementation by changing various parts of the protocol. Originally 1.3.3 only changed a few minor things in regards to our "cipher state" generation algorithm, which allowed us to figure out how the encryption was being done between the supernodes and the clients. Today, (Sept. 29, 2001) FastTrack unveiled another added "feature" in their "security update" - changing how the official clients communicate, and how they develop the cipher state for encryption/decryption (this is possibly done by an "auto-update", we will be uncertain until we perform a further analysis.) It is still unconfirmed as to the extent that these new modifications, however we are working hard to figure out what the problem is and how we can most easily fix it. -The giFT Development Team (RaaF) |
