P2P (Kazaa) and Trojans...

[Maniac]

Hiya all.

Djust an word of warning, now that the music companys are out to bust the home users for sharing files it may be an good idea to ensure that you dont have an trojan on your system.

Theres these little proxy-trojans wich very few are even detected by AV, these proxy-trojans enables an "hacker" to do all his surfing and downloading "thru" your computer. So if he shares his files on Kazaa, it looks like its you that is sharing his stuff with the rest of the world.

And because of this you may get an warning or get sued by the record companys....

So it might be an good time to start watching your modem lamps (adsl etc) if the send/recive lamps are blinking like crazy and your not downloading anything then there might be an problem....

Djust an heads up for yall!

Regards.

This sounds like the beginings of a good legal defense strategy if you do get sued by a record company.

"Er, uh, it wan't me, it was a hacker"

[Maniac]

Exactly!

The sad part is that pedofiles can use this excuse.... Read that an dude with child porn on his computer got away with it due to him having an trojan on his comp...

i tried DCplusplus but dont have enough shared material to get good servers....

what else is there? FTP? where do you find the FTP addresses?


sry to sound like a dork, but even though i know alot about computers and stuff... i know relativly little about "newsgroups" and such... in fact i didnt know they still existed. last i heard about them was in A+ training 3 years ago. i heard thats how the internet formed in the begining.

if they are still up how do you get to them?

is there software needed?

where do you find the server addresses?

Download mIRC from download.com

go to http://www.packetnews.com to search

click on the #..... these are channels

within the channels are bots for example MP3|DCC24

packetnews will tell you what bot has the software you are looking for and what packet # it is on that bot

say.... MP3|DCC24 windows xp pro is packet #5

you would type in the text buffer at bottom

/msg MP3|DCC24 xdcc send #5     and voila there you go, must bots have que lines that you have to wait in, but you can try them all on packetnews and hopefully find a bot without a que

[Pfunk]

for example

Channel: #shockwave
bot seen slots que kps pack gets size description
[SW]-Lust     23/25 145.5 #2 45x 683M Microsoft Flight Simulator
2004 A Century of Flight CD1 iMMERSiON


want movies??


[EWG]-SHiNBaD         #2   784M Sinbad SVCD TS Centropy 2 2

ok thats just too much a pain in the arse LOL .... i'll stay with kazaa lite.

i dont share anything once its downloaded. i move it to another folder anyway

[Pfunk]

Yeah its rather combersome, BUT the cool thing is you get stuff WAY before it comes out especially music.  For instance i downloaded FS2004 a week ago, and yet it doesnt come out till the end of the month.  Got several CD's 2 weeks to 1 month before they hit the stores.  With Kazza you never know what your gonna get, with mIRC its 100%

[bigsky]

when i click on the # of the one i want it does nothing or page not found. am i missing something?

[Pfunk]

If you have mIRC downloaded and installed and setup with username etc, it will automatically open mIRC when you click on the channel name, then you go from there.
