How comes, you run code in Linux?

Would really interest me, how you manage that (and with which user-rights).

Nonsense Sgt.!!
If you really wanted to let us know, you would have gone to an internet cafe, logged in with a new psydo and would have posted it. Or you would have posted with a socket5 proxy to make sure you stay anonym. Or used the PM function telling some of the developers secretly;.......since they are the ones who have to prevent things that happened with the other clients, as you've mentioned....
But you put it the way that anyone would have to think you're about to blow the cover of a CIA agent.........gimmy a break, okay!!

I believe Gunsou err Sgt. is just a joker. We all know that filenames are rather irrelevant. You can't tell from the filename whether a file is good or evil. Though there's still some spam that's easy to recognize by simply looking at the filename. I guess that's called overkill. Even the stupider users recognize these files by now. The trick has been overused, people are more cautious and Gnutella clients have rudimentary spam filters which catches most of the simple spam anyway. It would be fairly idiotic to mark dangerous files.

Anyway, your advice, foolofthehill, to use a proxy or whatever isn't really clever. If someone has signed a NDA - which is fairly normal nowadays in many business areas and IT anyway. By saying too much one could easily expose his identity. Not to you, but to those who he is or was working for. Many business contracts nowadays have a clause that says you're not allowed to work for a business in the same area for a couple months. And of course you're not supposed to tell your next boss the trade secrets of you learned at the other business. Telling these to the public is several degrees worse of course. That has little to do with being an "secret agent" or whatever. Of course, for some people it's pretty hard to keep a secret. It's well-known that stupid hackers expose themselves and get caught this way.

Rest assured those who work against Gnutella skim through these forums too.

Further, sometimes people ridicule a topic so that it isn't taken seriously anymore. I doubt that businesses already "attack" Linux users but it might be time to get started. "file permissions" and "user privileges" are not a huge obstacle when it comes to Joe Average. The only real obstacle is that Linux is not as stream-lined as Windows and any known exploit will only work for a small portion of all Linux installations. That said, there was Mac version of the SonyBMG rootkit too and now that Apple switched to the x86, everybody predicts a huge increase in exploits for Macs simply because it's less work and x86 has some inherent flaws that make it easier exploitable than other architectures like PPC or SPARC etc.

Hi Hyper-kun

And you also know that to access the internet You have to go through an Isp

Which can and does, in some countries keep records of your internet activities

In the UK Their trying to make it A law that they have to hand over these records if requested by the police.

that's how their now starting to catch some of the kiddie porn freaks over here

So proxies as you know are usless

Internet cafes, smile your on camera, they also log everything you do and access, like your own computer does

Sgt

I'm pretty much aware about such contracts, which I had once signed myself. However, Sgt. posted his comment in a way like "they're about to bring you <gnutella> down, one way or the other".......
If his post was meant to be helpful (in a preventing way), he would be able to find means and ways to hint into the right direction without exposing himself to the public, or his former employer.
But not doing so, or excusing himself not to do so, leaves me with 2 alternatives to think.........the first one has been implied by LOTR and the second one would be to assume that he wants to spread (intentionally) a certain kind of unease around the Gnutella network......

@Sgt.
Don't take my opinion as an offense,......rather think about how your comments are understood from people who might not be that deep into the matter as you stated to be (or were).
I don't even want to know what's going on behind certain doors in regard to P2P, my life is already exciting enough; but it will come down to how you see the approaches of certain groups (of which you say you have knowledge of), and to the conclusion you draw from this knowledge (in an ethical way).
And let me tell you, being a German, I have learned not to accept every and all because of laws and rules.........(which is actually your excuse,....)

Just my 5-cent-worth

Hi AaronWalkhouse

I did get my copy from there
I d/l it again, and tried it again
same as before
have also cleared the cache, deleted the cookies
still no joy

I had also heard it was hijacked
If the spellings a bit off, forgive me having a couple of beers tonight

Thanks for the Info though

Sgt

If you are actually using PG2 right now you can expect it to block a lot of web
sites. When that happens you will see the block show up in blue. Right-click
on that block and you can grant permission right away.

It will be easier to handle if you turn off reporting, alerts and display of
allowed connections. That way only the blocked connections show up and
the blue ones are attempts to view web pages.

Hi AaronWalkhouse

Okay did as u suggested and told it to show only blocked connections
it is now showing only that sites ip

Are u saying to me, that it is okay to grant that site permission, and that u know of it.

If so I will



Sgt
