MORE INFO
Linux journal article 2003-08-31: Securing Your Network against Kazaa
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6945
DESCRIPTION
The P2Pwall project aims to provide iptables add-ins for the control
of Peer to peer file sharing traffic from applications such as Kazaa,
iMesh and others.
Ftwall-2 is an updated version of the original ftwall-1 software which
adds new P2p protocols to the set it can control.
Ftwall-2 is an add-on for linux firewalls that allows the control of
"Fast Track" peer-to-peer traffic (such as is used by "Kazaa" and it's
derivatives), WinMX and others using the OpenNAP protocol.
It is designed to block network traffic from P2P client applications
running in the "home" (or "green") network from making access to any
peers on the public internet. It is designed primarily for use in
networks where the security reigme allows "open access" for outbound
connections and "tightly limited" access for inbound ones. Ftwall-2
can be used in networks like this to prevent outbound P2P access from
the supported protocols, hence restricting illegal file downloads and
uploads.
A Fast track "home network" client that establishes an "outbound"
connection is (worryingly) immediately available to accept inbound
connections through the established TCP/IP socket - even if the
gateway firewall blocks all in-bound connections via "normal" TCP/IP
and UDP mechanisms. This is a kind of limited "tunnelling" and gives
rise to a number of concerns. Other P2P applications and protocols
present similar security challenges. Ftwall solves this (and other)
problems for the protocols it understands.
- "Ftwall" is short for "Fast Track traffic Firewall".
- "Fast track" is the networking protocol used by Kazaa, KazaaLite,
iMesh and Grokster.
- "Ftwall" is part of the "p2pwall" project, which aims to provide
similar mechanisms for other peer-to-peer file sharing protocols in
future.
- "P2pwall" is short for "Peer-to-peer traffic firewall".
- Ftwall version 2 is also capable of blocking WinMX and OpenNAP - and
in this, it's name is a historical misnoma.

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.
As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with a body text like this:
reopen 305050
thanks bts
Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.
Thanks for your cooperation,
-- David Moreno Garza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
