P2P from a Black-Hat

I was a Novell and Unix guy, that's how ancient my skillset is.

Hey, one day soon the other operating systems will have completely implemented all the Netware ideas in the Novell IP that Microsoft bought in 2011, and OSX is just Unix in a pretty frock - then your skillset will be relevant again ;).

(From an ex-Novell Linux guy)
 
have a go at the ports on my network at your peril. Quit spreading FUD. Unlike your claim I DO have experience of wearing a hat that was less than white. Since then I've worked the other side of the fence, too. Even if you get in everything you do will be logged on a system that you cannot access from the net, physical console control only. Then I'll turn you in.

The ports the game uses would probably be targeted, not just random ports so your firewall presumably would have issues there, weaknesses in the client itself may be exploited. It would be quite difficult to tell the difference between a legit connection and not depending on the type of attack and subtlety of the attacker.
Also anyone with half a clue would be targeting you through a previously compromised machine, maybe a chain of them, so "turning someone in" isn't as obviously easy as it first sounds.
Time will tell as we see exploit sites being born after release :)

This post made me laugh.

Good luck OP! That's all I can say. There are plentiful of games that use P2P networking (all of the latest COD's do it for example) - where are all the news articles and people being hacked into from playing those games lol
 
P2P from a Black Cat

So you're letting me get into your house through the cat f.lap? Sweet. Thank you Frontier for providing this service to the black cat community. We are grateful.

It's amazing what you can find in houses that use a cat f.lap. I'm not a black cat, though I have gotten into a few houses by using the cat f.laps. Install cat f.laps at your own risk.

ROFLMFAO - really forum developers? f.laps is a censored word? How the hell are we going to had a discussion about aerodynamics and fight controls once planetary landings are released?

the hardest part after reading the OP was on my deciding of this pic or the infinite picard facepalm pic.

Ladies and Gentlemen, fellow commanders. This borders on the ridiculous. If you following the most basic security principles when administering your PC then...

YOU ARE NOT AT RISK USING P2P
