This is a welcome report
http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=1214The battle against “false files” or flooding P2P networks with bogus material is a long and attritionous fight. In fact, it’s been fought with such ferocity that people are willing to protect long abandoned networks such as WinMX. In addition to no longer being developed and its population reduced, WinMX diehards continue to inflate the value of this P2P relic.
An old nemesis soon reared itself, as corrupt files once again began infiltrating the WinMX network. The flood of corrupt files threatened the resurrection effort, and indeed began driving participants away.
There are several methods we use for detecting them but the simplest way to spot most of them (at least for now) is that within WinMX all search results contain the IP address of the origin user that is sharing the file - so it is relatively simple to spot that if the same IP address is sending out hundreds of copies of the same file under many different usernames then it is a flooder.”
Once the IP address is obtained, it’s a simple matter of tracing the address’ origins
That is just a small part of the report but I hope you can see that this patch is a serious blow to macrovison and their flooding network , as it should be
