Yes, of course we can get along. But, we have some work to do first. The "Port Sniffer" is useless for everything except probably deliberate exportations of data. Really, that's not what we're talking about. Vinnie has made some good points, but hasn't explained what we're <B>most</B> concerned about, being able to download <u>yourname@bearshare.vstoremusic.txt</U> from Gnutella. Of course, you might say "Wahhhhhhhh! Its just some people sharing their entire hard drive, and its just a cookie." Well, true, but its a quite odd cookie. It has an IP, a DNS name, <u>and</U> a date tag. What do ya think about that??? And the test was run after the installation. The spyware probably didn't have time to get set up! No, seriously. we have a few issues to solve. We should work on that.
