How can all you people that post about Kazaa do it in a security forum? Kazaa is thee biggest security hole, after, prehaps Internet Explorer. How many times has it been found to have Spyware loaded now? This idiot on the same ISP as I was, using Kazaa, and his computer kept pinging me, pinging me, pinging me... constantly. Did you know if you send some packets to a certain port, Kazaa will dump all it's info about you? I had the guy's online name, Kazza version, OS version, etc... Kazaa! You may just as well open telnet to your machine with no password and login name "guest". I hate Kazaa! -- --------------nonoffensive sig.v2.2RC2?------------------------ - jayjwa 4 Spammers: mailto: The New Atr2.

maybe you shoudl research things before you post, do you know WHY it was pinging you ? Chances are you got assigned the IP of someone who had just dropped, therefore all his uploads/downloads were searching for the machine. The biggest security hole is a lack of education -- Mimic "Without Knowledge you have fear, With fear you create your own nightmares." "There are 10 types of people in this world.

Exactly. But I'd think the people that coded it would take that into account, and not divulge info about the host its running on.... Then I have to go and sort thru my logs, ignoring all the ICMP Req's, to see if anything meaningful occured. It's much harder looking for something when it's buried under 3 pages of garbage, all because some twit was DL'ing the boxxed set of New Kids On The Block then decided he'd rather get Manudo instead. Then I have to go reconfigure the FW to ignore those- more time wasted. Because Mr. Music-Man wanted to rock-out to NKOTB. Actually, I should get Kazaa. I have a few "programs" I'd like to "share" with that guy.... Agreed. Education.............. and KAZAA! ;p -- --------------nonoffensive sig.v2.2RC2?------------------------ - jayjwa 4 Spammers: mailto: The New Atr2.

People who ask questions about Kazaa in this forum are looking for answers, not giving them. The OP obviously knows nothing to begin with.
