newbs, why not to run a P2P Client, such as kazaa
P2P is [gloworange]EXTREMELY[/gloworange] insecure, mainly because people make a direct connection to your computer or you make a direct connection to theres to download there mp3's or what not, when you make a Direct connection they can port scan you and see what ports are open if any trojans are on you, mainly just a bunch of script kiddies who think they can hack. Or if they are more skilled they can easily obtain your ip address with the Netstat -n command and take there attacks from there. there are also many other insecurites that can be explioted through kazaa or anyother p2p client such as bearshare or others, not to mention the wide spread dominance of worms, viruses, etc.... But if you run a P2P on a LAN or other type of Network its a completely different story. But if you choose to keep running a P2P client such as kazaa make sure you make a trojan sweep every other day at the least, and check your logs just to see whats goin on. Any other advice for the Newbs, or to correct my statements is appreciated.
