Hi, I have been doing some P2P network security research for a while.

I run a small new security website called insecure.org.uk

Anyway back on topic, I was doing a few tests recently when I remembered about peerguardian2 so I decided to do a few tests with peerguardian2 running.

One of the constant blocks I kept getting was from AAFES/Barracks.

Now a few days later I still have peerguardian2 running and I am now getting blocks from "HQ - 5th Signal Command" I have not used a P2P program in days so what are they looking for.

So what is there interest in P2P networks/file sharing?

I have a little blog about this on my site and forum if anyone is interested. I have also placed a link on my FREE software page to peerguardian2 hope you don’t mind. Great program by the way.

Hi,

Welcome to Phoenixlabs,

It may be somebody from the Military downloading from torrents using the military network.

I use limewire for most of my research, I haven’t really looked into torrent P2P side of things yet. If I had used torrents I could understand then maybe delayed traffic. I seen and read loads about delayed traffic on torrents. Such as disconnecting from a torrent client but all the people that where connected to you still think you’re there, resulting in traffic to your IP for hours after.

But, like I said I don’t use torrents, and it’s been 2 days since I used any P2P programs, but still I got connections blocked to that HQ-5th signal command.

Its stopped today but I’m still wondering what it was all about?

You can not operate a website that deals with the topics yours does without "them"
checking you out . Also, you can not seed "subversive" stuff like 9-11, 7/7, NWO etc
related material without "them" checking you out . I've had it happen on bit-torrent,
DoD Network Center, HalliBurton, GE, and a lot of other players in the shady world.
Funny thing was that it stopped as soon as I posted a screenshot of my logs somewhere :)
Furthermore, this URL :
is the home of "Nmap" the Rolls-Royce of net-scanners.
The US military uses Nmap, as does the NSA and probably all other intelligence services
in the world . And then your little websites suddenly turns up on their radar, dealing with
subjects like state-hacking and surveillance . How could they not have to check it out ?

What makes you think Limewire would be any different ?

Could be many reasons why you get blocked connections for the military. I doubt anyone but the people in the military could tell you what they are really doing.

Trust me to pick a name so similar to this, I didn’t give that a thought. :)

Maybe I’m just paranoid, I knew they couldn’t be thinking that terrorists or someone would be using P2P networks to communicate, or would they.

Share their communications in the open, make up wild filenames that only they know, and share via P2P. It’s just possible you know lol. Ok now I’m being paranoid and dreaming up conspiracy theories.

You guys have to realize that Soldiers live in the barracks and have internet connections provided through the Army Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) which is the military's version of WALMART for goods and services. Its simply a Soldier in the barracks using P2P for his own purposes. Which like most Soldiers is for getting music and porn.
