that don't have a clue.
This is not going to do anything for the huge file traders
that are using TOR or a Firewall that's configured properly.
Read page 4 and 5 of the pdf...
>the active probing approach is not entirely immune
from the possibility of false positive identification.
For example, peers using an anonymizing network such as
Tor [10] may produce false positives, since the last Tor router
on the client’s path of Tor routers (called a Tor exit router)
would be implicated in the file sharing.
>False negative identification occurs when a
peer who is actively sharing a file cannot be identified as a file
sharer. Both the active probing technique and the na¨ıve ping
method suffer from the potential for false negatives. The ping
method may miss peers who are behind a firewall that blocks
incoming ICMP traffic. |
