| Can't ever be 100% anonymous At some point in a P2P transaction, the downloading computer needs to be able to reach the sharing computer. At that point it gets the IP address of the sharing computer. (You can use proxies, but those can seriously slow things down to the point of making the P2P connection unusable.) If you hide your IP address from everyone else, then how do you expect other computers to deliver electronic information to yours? (Kind of like telling someone to mail you the information but refusing to give your mailing address.)

Fort Worth, TX | IP Address Registry I think every internet account should have a fixed IP Addy and the ISP should be required to maintain an accurate and up-to-date PUBLIC list of the who those IP Addresses are being used by.

I think the point of NAK's post was that we should do away with dynamic IP addresses...
The bad part of that is the fact that we would run out of IP addresses REAL FAST.
The whole point of dynamic IP addresses is to allow a many to one relationship.
A dial-up ISP may have 5,000 users, however, only own 1,000 IP addresses because their maximum load on their service is only 1,000 users at any given time and point.

| I think that's the point of NAK's post. DHCP should be eliminated for public IPs.
To comment on the other -- I'm not sure how these things work or how effective they are. However, I did read that a new bread of P2P using a collection of clients that each broadcast tiny pieces of a whole file by using some kind of broadcast streaming protocol, could eliminate the ability to trace the source. I'm not sure how well it would work but... | |

| Re: IP Address Registry As an experienced hacker, I can honestly say there are NO surefire idiot proof ways to block your IP when using a P2P... But from my personal experience if you are very careful and use a "legit" IP masker, you can foil most attempts to track/locate a P2P download... Just ask Kevin Mitnick or Steve Wozniak... They are two of the more famous hackers in history... as well as my personal idols... so I hope I have passed along a little assurance to my fellow miscreants... | |

| Re: IP Address Registry A proxy server is the only way you can download files without worries from the RIAA. You can bounce off of servers from any country in the world. You can also have a server download a file, then you download from the server after it is completed.
** Ahhhhhhh I can't resist it!!!!!! **
Kevin Mitnick was/is a dumbass! Anyone who thinks he's some great hacker is either a silly n00b or some kiddy scripter wannabe. | |

Yes they're called "ISPs" by Canadians. To Americans they're called "ISPs and a VPN connection to a Canadian ISP". | |
