Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Exclamation pokerface.ibiza ?

Hi everyone, i couldn't find the introduction forums.
So, Hi everyone.

Does anyone knows what in the world is:

pokerface. ibiza. bishopston. net ?

LimeWire tries to make a connection to that site on port 3559.
When I ping it resolves to 127.0.0.1 aka localhost, but in the browser, bring me a "NT Logon Security", yahoo and google only displays links coming from the "url" mentioned, I want to know, why LimeWire tries to make a connection (on load time) to a site which behaves so estrange, and had a estrange "pokerface" name (like HackmanGT ) ?

I would appreciate very much any reference, information, comments, links, laughs, insults, everything will be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
HackmanGT



Background :

I had tested on the same PC: AVG Antivirus Free, NOD32 Trial, Avast! Personal, AntiVir Free, Norton Antivirus 2006. Lavasoft AdAware, SpyBot Resident (Updated all). Posted HijackThis logs to 4 forums (never had an answer, from TechGuy, Wildersecurity, others). Executed Trend Micro House Call 6. Microsoft Malware Removal Tool. Updated from Microsoft. Sun SDK Application Server JRE 1.6. I dump with tcpdump & analized manually. Downloaded Limewire Java source, compiled on NetBeans 5.5, and debugged (step) the most critical Gnutella protocol *** found nothing ***.

I tested ZoneAlarm and Norton AV 2005 Firewall. None of the above throws me any alert, even when I'm 100% ZoneA is working very good. I don't care too much about Norton.

I even "Remote Trace Route" to that site from Greece, Poland and USA.
Eight servers resolves to the same 127.0.0.1

It even doesn't have whois arin (who is registered database).
I'm a Microsoft user since DOS 3.1. And recently a Linux SUN Caldera 1.2, Linux Devian 2.2, from a few years. Software Designer and ... Intranet Administrator, Web Site Administrator.

Well,...upon some research I found that one (though it talks of :3558):

Virusbuster

And that's what the developer forum talks (it includes that mysterious address)

Unable to connect with no gnutella.net file? - LimeWire Forums

Default Spyware Or Not? - Virusbuster!!?

VirusBuster Description

VirusBuster, also known as VirusBurst, is a rogue anti-spyware program that displays fake warning messages in order to trick the user into purchasing the software. VirusBuster alleges to remove spyware but instead it installs a trojan that pops up deceptive advertisements that resemble security messages. VirusBuster may change the Internet Explorer default home page and redirect the web browser to malicious web sites.

Spyware Or Not? - Virusbuster!!?

THE URL ONLY CONNECTS WHEN THE USERS RUNS LIMEWIRE NOT EVERYTIME.

THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER foolofthehill ,
ANY OTHER ADVISE STILL WILL BE APPRECIATED A LOT

Your reply sounds rather like an attempt to "argue" than an appreciation that someone at least tries to help you....

My other advice was the LW Developer Link !!!

Exclamation I'm sorry! Still welcome any comments!

I really apreciate your help.
Im very grateful to you!
LimeWire is a very nice java, helpful software!

I seem like an "argue" .. because I copy and paste from a spyware site ...
I should wrote .. "I quote" ...

Im in charge of .. at least ... the most basic status of security of a few networks .. so .. you post had helped me to "watch out" those sites. I always have a parallel site to try to fool some spyware, and it had worked 50%...

Of course I dont try to bother anyone, neither to change anything in the sofware, neither make anyone's life angry, neither sad, I only want to know, why?

I still want to know why LimeWire has that site on the "gnutella" static ip network ? And I'm open to any kind of comments.

I re-download from the "original source" of course, reinstalled LimeWire to make shure, and its still there. Uninstall and its gone. I dont want to use another p2p.. I really like LimeWire (its written in the best programming language ever ).

Thanks a lot in advance.

Smile Done!

Thanks foolofthehill for your advice.
Even when I believe it's harmless because LimeWire distribute it hard-coded.

Resolved the strange thing for my own configuration.
Removed that from gnutella.net configuration file and remove writing privileges to gnutella.net file.

It's gone away

Thumbs up Whow ! You ROCK foolofthehill !

Thanks a lot, I can't even imagine that software even exist.
It's very helpful to avoid security holes.
Even when you trow me a huge work configuring and revising those huge lists, just kidding.

Thanks, that solves my paranoid trouble. Thanks again.

(This is kind of funny ... PeerGuardian2 blocks Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download, BitTorrent «)

I'm not really sure why that happens, since that site isn't a danger. However, you can always manually allow certain site to be able to connect to (and of course vice versa).

For more, I guess, we would have to talk to Aaron since he is the master of the "Evil List".....lol.......

Anyways, glad that some of my advice was useful....

Cheers
