P2P Leaks Surprises

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the be-careful-people dept.

kilian.cavalotti writes "A new Web log is posting what it purports are pictures, documents and letters from U.S. soldiers and military bases in Iraq and elsewhere--all of which the site's operator claims to have downloaded from peer-to-peer networks such as Gnutella. The "See What You Share" site has been online for a week and has published photos ranging from a crashed military jet to a screenshot of a spreadsheet file that appears to include names, addresses and telephone numbers of marines. The site's operator, a 30-year-old named Rick Wallace, wrote in a blog posting that he is trying to help the military understand how serious a security risk unmonitored peer-to-peer file sharing can be."

    search your favourite P2P network for things like ".XLS". When you find some that are obviously not intended for public viewing then look at the person's shared files for more goodies.

    not that I'd ever do that.

    He's right -- P2P networks are used to distribute weapons of mass destruction.

    It sounds an awful lot like you're complaining, but you have absolutely no idea how to solve the problem you've raised. This is not constructive...it is merely whining.

    I'll bet your auto mechanic just loves it when you refuse to tell him what's wrong, but tell him how to fix it.

    We should be looking at P2P authors for providing a medium that people use to do wrong?
