Maybe i'm wrong and that was another ufo file, but i sure that it was this one, the small ufo above the ranch, the wreckage and the sitting skinny doing his IQ test...
Please Crunch your neurons and try hard very hard to remember!!!
I recently got an EdgeRouter 12 and have been looking through its traffic analysis feature. I noticed that there's a bit of traffic labeled as "Tor" (about 2 MB) and "Gnutella" (about 200MB) coming from my wife's work machine (it's a city government-issued laptop).
I've checked her laptop and Tor isn't on it, and I didn't see anything on her machine that looks like it would generate peer-to-peer traffic.
So, I guess my question is: how accurate is EdgeOS' ability to identify network traffic? Because I'm guessing it's just a mislabeling issue. Or should I be more concerned?
Thanks.
I was just directed here after posting much of this in /r/tipofmyjoystick
I did a little digging of my own and thought I'd share what I found for those who are interested.
Here are some assumptions:
- Reports from those who claim to have played the game place the timeline around the 2000-2003 ballpark
- The game was either download from an independent dev's website and/or Limewire or a Torrent
After a lot of digging I got my hands on a dataset of Gnutella search queries that were scraped from the P2P network over a 5 hour window in 2002 for academic research. Gnutella is the P2P engine behind Limewire and many other file sharing applications of the time. The hope was that if this farming game was being shared at the time, perhaps someone searched for some keywords that could give us a clue as to the title of the game.

Unfortunately, this is quite a small dataset--only ~51k queries--but it's the only one of its kind that I could dig up. Unless the title of this game didn't contain the word "farm" then this was a fruitless search.
I was instructed not share this data publicly, but if any of you out there have any clues re: keywords that I can try, please let me know and I'll see what I can dig up.
Before you ask... "wife" is 100% porn.
Is it the same thing under a different name? Have they updated it? What's up?
So I just read this https://torrentfreak.com/torrent-paradise-creates-decentralized-pirate-bay-with-ipfs-190120/
And I imagine it will run into a lot of the same issues as the old Gnutella network where it can't be moderated causing viruses and spam to be rampant while popular clients like LimeWire face legal action. Do you think there will be any good way to prevent this?
November 26, 2010 is a date which will live on in infamy. On that day, United States District Judge Kimba Wood issued an injunction effectively killing a piece of free-as-in-speech software that shaped the course of Internet history. I refer, of course, to LimeWire.
A few weeks later, a good Internet citizen going by the pseudonym Meta Pirate exercised his right to distribute a one-off fork of this LimeWire source online, calling it LimeWire Pirate Edition. Arrrr! Anyway, what with knowing that Meta Pirate assuredly considered his duty to the Gnutella community over and done with, and me convalescing from an acute injury to the legs and lower back, I decided to continue what he started.
I am not a coder (except for a little bit of LISP), but I knew enough about the Free Software movement to start a SourceForge project (GitHub and BitBucket were then in their infancy), open a SubVersioN repository (ditto for Mercurial), and advertise on the SourceForge help wanted fora.
Meanwhile, as an aspiring lawyer at that point in time, I knew that releasing the product under the name "LimeWire Pirate Edition" would infringe Lime LLC's trademarks. After a quick brainstorm, I settled on the name WireShare.
So, development continued. A small community slowly coalesced around GnutellaForums, coders came and went, and through it all, I remained, an unmoving fulcrum, the "face" of the project for better or worse. By 2015, I had recovered enough from my injury to go to law school, and the project seemed to be chugging along just fine, so I almost unconsciously scaled back my involvement.
I graduated in Law three years later, in 2018, with a specialisation in Contract. I come home to news that Qualcomm had opened up the source of what had once been the world's most popular eMail client until its abrupt discontinuation in 2004. Up till then, I had neither asked for nor made a penny from my FLOSS work, but the new project was staggeringly huge in scope. It wouldn't even compile. We needed rare and hard to find software just to help us make sense of the code. WireShare to the rescue...
and that's when I noticed that something was definitely wrong. Ignoring the somewhat troublesome installation process (Apple won't let you install software without a developer signature) for a second, the last major release was a year ago, the last commit was almost as old, the SubVersioN code base had been transitioned over to Git (I'd have preferred Mercurial), and someone ha

Edit: Huh. It IS pronounced "new-tella". Ignore all the things, then.
I understand that Bittorrent's download speeds are faster but for what reasons? What other reasons is it superior to Gnutella and FastTrack protocols? I've been using it for a couple years and never really asked why it is superior until now, when a coworker is trying to convince me that "frostwire is better. It downloads faster." I'm fairly sure he's wrong but I'd like to be armed with strong arguments when discussing it.
Abstract: Gnutella can serve as an example of how not to develop a peer to peer protocol.
Background: Napster, a centralized file sharing service, was in impending danger of being shut down. The lead developer of Nullsoft, who made the excellent Winamp (back before AOL ruined it), created it as a fully decentralized alternative. It was buggy, and he was restrained by AOL (who bought Nullsoft) from developing it further, but wildly successful, leading to many partially interoperable clones.
Discussion:
The original Gnutella client, implementing protocol v0.4, was quickly superseded by more intelligent and less buggy clients. v0.4 was highly unoptimal; the protocol recursively broadcasts queries until a TTL expires. This soaked up bandwidth and only reached a small fraction of the network. It also gave spammers all of the information they needed to craft fake hits on the fly. v0.4 is documented here: http://cryptnet.net/fsp/cpcd/gnutella_protocol_0.4.pdf
Documentation for v0.4 was generated from reverse engineering work done and discussion on a mail list. It was not released by Nullsoft. Likely it only lived in the original programmer's head.
LimeWire, gtk-gnutellaT, Gnotella, Xolox, Phex, Shareaza, BearShare, and many "servents" (both server and client) appeared, most implementing their own custom extensions. For example, there are places in the v0.4 protocol where two nulls in a row end a datastructure, but the original Gnutella data structure ignores data between those two nulls, and different clients would insert data into those places that that particular client understood. Different clients used this space for different things. Some servents would understand each others data; some would use other clients protocols. File metadata, badly lacking in the original Gnutella, was added this way, and later distributed hashing was added. A v0.6 of the protocol was eventually established between the major players in attempt to standardized the non-standard extensions and create a common protocol: http://rfc-gnutella.sourceforge.net/src/rfc-0_6-draft.html.
v0.6 again grew numerous non-standard extensions as clients began doing things such as sending hits directly by UDP rather than routing them back over the network, which while anonymous was unreliable.
At this point in history, each servent favored other servents of the same flavor. LimeWire seemed to be the worst; it's peer discovery virtually ignored other clients unless it absolutel

Thanks in advance and sorry for making a whole new post just for this one question, but I couldn't find the original post.
Do your worst!
