It is appearent that people are posting viruses, backdoors worms ect here. Can we track their IP address while downloading?
I would think so since we are using P2P to access the files.
One example is the people posting Winzip 9.0 in both Zip and EXE form.
I think they need to be punished !!!
 
Umm I am not one of them since I have used puters since the late 70's. I will say most that do have a virus scanner don't even update the diffinitions.
only an idiot would say only people with virus canners should download from P2P. I guess I will go after the bad guys myself by tracing their IP's
and furthermore with a name like taliban , you arean enemy not a good guy

Over?
 
Windows has the punishment already built in, what do you think all these viruses and pop ups are for? Aren't you being punished?

Brought to you by Linux, the real OS.
 
ther is a million cracks for Linuzucks too
Try selling Linux to the average house mother. NOT
Are you a collage dropout that is the richest man in da world? I think not
This is too fun
 
I've been thining about adding a simple executable file check for any filetype. It's just a matter of checking a few bytes to see if it's really a .COM, .EXE or .DLL file with a different file extension (aside from the .vbs checks). Hope some other G-net developers will implement that too.
 
Morgwen,



I sense sarcasm in the original poster's comment about punishing those people (hence the smiley). Its more about the need for people to be more aware about virii they could accidentally distribute without knowing it.

It is kinda like the MS Outlook case, where people are being told over-and-over not to open attachments with ".EXE" or ".VBS" as the file extension or have weird e-mail contents, but still open it out of curiosity.
 
True. But IP addresses (or the resolved address) are shown with most Gnutella clients' downloads. There's just no history of the downloads in most cases, so you'd have to manually track the IPs (write them down while downloading). Perhaps Controler would like to block those IP addresses, for being careless or actively distributing virii?
