First let me tell you that I’m a network & systems analyst from old school ,, that’s 20 plus yrs kids.
After a hassle of an install on Win2k box I ran into further problems: YES the ports and settings were done correctly!
On first run I find so many connections were started that my router went down. > tuned them down some.
With tuned down settings router still went down; tried 5 more routers ,, same story.
g2gui-0.3.0 crashes on any other java app being started. Ie Visualroute etc. actually crashes all java apps.
Now we get to interesting parts; for 3 frikin’ yrs I’ve had no SPAM on this box, then as soon as I install this junk all hell breaks loose. This tells me mldonkey and or g2gui-0.3.0 is susceptible to data miners, tunneling past routers and firewalls, privacy apps etc.
With the number of vulnerabilities found I’m not even going to bother sending packet capture files!
I think you ppl better recode these proggies for much safer use or you’re going to have a war on your hands.
Do you ppl ever test these things on systems you intend to use ‘em on?
Let me remind you code is still around that will crash/nuke every device no matter what kind of silly linux/bsd box you’re using or general protection. This includes CPU’s, motherboards, keyboards, HD’s, any EPROM/EEPROM, cache, buffers etc.
And my favorite; monitors! [will explode cathode to cover 15 ft.]
Show some respect for general users or pay the consequences!
