He's trying to say that he can see the IP and other stuff pertaining to the specs of the computer he downloaded from with a partially downloaded Quicktime movie.

Does anyone read?

You've got to be a noob if you think opening a .MOV from the user will be the easiest way to get their IP. Just use 'netstat -n' in a command prompt.

Ah yes, I've heard of something like that.. I think firewalls block it, cause it's actually opening *another port to your computer kazaa isnt supposed to access. I know about the thing were u view someone's files through IE typein in they're ip and the kazaa port.. It's like the hard/impossible way to search lol. (Example: http://176.15.34.983:1214) use port 1214. U see the guys My Shared Folder contents in clickable links. note: the example is not a working shared link. use must type in a guy's ip that u know to get in. he must be shareing too

I hear alot people complain about it because they can't set it up right, but ZA is the best firewall. ;)

im afraid this is outdated, im almost positive that with one of the new releases of kazza this way of looking at peoples shared files (another way to search i guess) was disabled, i just tested my own ip and it doesnt work, maybe because im behind a router, i tried some peoples ip's that im connected to for some of my downloads with no luck either, doesnt work anymore people sorry :(

lol.. most likely, the person that you think you 'hacked' was running a server... you just logged without realizing it.

From what i understand this is not really a kazaa problem. It sounds more like a quicktime issue.

I really don't see how you saw his whole drive content. but did you have read and write acess to it?

have you tried this with more then one user?

maybe the user has an unpatched or outdated version of quicktime with some kinda buffer overflow.

either way im updating quicktime now :ph34r:

get a good fw and don't worry
the most they can probably see is what your sharing.....

note: unless you're running an FTP server or something similar, there's nothing to "serve" your files to the Net...therefore all you saw was Kazaa showing you his shared folder(s), which is nothing big, anyone can do that..... :D ;)

this is true, but can one person do this on multiple ports at once easily??, i mean correct me if im wrong but doesnt kazza only use one port for searching for peoples shared files (1214 by default)???
