Abstract — P2P file-sharing systems have indexes, which users search to find locations of desired titles. In the index poisoning attack, the attacker inserts massive numbers of bogus records into the index for a set of targeted titles. As a result, when a user searches for a targeted title

Since the release of Napster in 1999, P2P file-sharing has enjoyed a dramatic rise in popularity. A 2000 study by Plonka on the University of Wisconsin campus network found that file-sharing accounted for a comparable volume of traffic to HTTP, while a 2002 study by Saroiu et al. on the University

and demonstrate the effectiveness of these techniques experimentally, attracting real DMCA complaints for nonsense devices, e.g., IP printers and a wireless access point. We then step back and evaluate the challenges and possible future directions for pervasive monitoring in P2P file sharing networks. 1

Abstract. In this paper, we investigate parallel implementation techniques for network coding to enhance the performance of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing applications. It is known that network coding mitigates peer/piece selection problems in P2P file sharing systems; however, due to the decoding

Abstract-P2P overlay networks are a natural fit for MANETs because both are decentralized and have dynamic topologies. Most nodes in P2P file sharing networks are freeloaders, nodes that do not contribute to the network. In order to have a useful P2P network, it is important that nodes not only

Currently there are a lot of public P2P file sharing networks in existence. Some of them have millions of online users. There is a need for a system that allows searching files in every P2P network and downloading from every P2P network. To our knowledge, there is not any interconnection system

This paper presents an efficient approach for improving file availability in super-peer-based peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing systems. In the super-peer-based P2P file-sharing system, peers are organized into multiple groups. In each group, there is a special peer called super-peer to serve

P2P file-sharing poses a number of problems for system administrators including unpredictable network usage, increased vulnerability to security threats and the danger of legal action. Because of these problems, the majority of businesses attempt to restrict the use of P2P software, but how
