 Re: network monitoring

There are a lot of people on these forums and others who have a lot of ideas about what it means to manage a network. In fact many of them will actually argue with you about particulars. Let me share this bit of knowledge with you as a person who is not only a real live network administrator but I work for a private industry ISP.
#1 P2P networks are heavly monitored by various organizations for not only child porn but for copyright violations.
#2 If you are using public infrastructure i.e. an ISP's IP address and you're communications with an anonymous public. You have a limited expectation of privacy. This is akin to publically walking naked and then complaining that other people can see you.
Ultimately, what I am trying to say is don't worry about it. Someone is always watching and waiting and will take the appropriate action at the appropriate time. | I'm not trying to tell anyone how to manage a network. I'm just an idealist - It is so seriously sad that cool ideas like P2P networks can be a portal for and proliferate child porn. People should care more but everyone just wants their downloads to be faster.
You bunch of sleepers!
So thanks for your assurance that someone is watching but I'm afraid I find it rather cold comfort -particularly given the laughability of your quote #1  |
