<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" style="margin:0 8px;" src="http://i.afterdawn.com/articles/PG2_logo.jpg" alt="" width="101" height="101" />PeerGuardian2</a> è uno dei prodotti più amati da chi utilizza le reti P2P. PeerGuardian è "un filtro IP open source pensato per bloccare indirizzi IP di alcune organizzazioni e aziende che potrebbero voler identificare gli utenti mentre usano Internet e le reti peer-to-peer". Purtroppo non esiste una versione Gnu/Linux di questo ottimo programma. Ho già parlato di <a href="http://khole8.wordpress.com/2008/02/24/nostalgia-di-peerguardian-tranquilli-ce-ipblock/" target="_blank">IPBlock</a>, una valida alternativa Linux a PG2. In questi giorni però ho trovato <a href="http://tuxtraining.com/2008/06/30/import-peerguardian-blocklists-into-ktorrent-deluge/" target="_blank">quest'articolo</a> che spiega come importare le blocklist di PeerGuardian in Deluge e Ktorrent. Ecco come si fa:<!--more--></p>
<p><img src="http://www.hackosis.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/delugelogo.png" alt="" width="188" height="70" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Scaricate la lista che preferite, vi consiglio quelle di <a href="http://www.bluetack.co.uk/forums/index.php?act=dscriptca&#38;CODE=viewcat&#38;cat_id=4" target="_blank">Bluetack</a></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Estraete l'archivio (solitamente zip)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Aprite Deluge, andate su Modifica --&#62; Plugin, abilitate il plugin Blocklist importer e cliccate su preferenze</li>
<li>Scegliete "PeerGuardian in formato testo (non compresso)" e come URL mettete il percorso in cui avete estratto la lista (/home/nomeutente/level1.txt)</li>
<li>Così Deluge dovrebbe iniziare a scaricare la blocklist e ad importare gli IP</li>
<li>In alternativa potete inserire l'URL di una lista on-line selezionando "PeerGuardian P2B (GZip)"</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="http://www.danirevi.it/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/ktorren_logo.jpg" alt="" width="189" height="75" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Aprite KTorrent, andate in Settings --&#62; Configure Ktorrent --&#62; Plugins --&#62; IP Filter e cliccate su Load (in alto a destra)</li>
<li>Selezionate l'IPBlocking Filter, che apparirà in basso a sinistra sotto Plugin e abilitate l'uso del filtro PeerGuardian</li>
<li>Come file potete scegliere se usare quello di default o una qualsiasi lista on-line o locale (inserendo il percorso)</li>
<li>Cliccate su Download/Convert, e quando avrà terminato su Convert</li>
</ul>
<p>In questo modo, sia Deluge che KTorrent, caricheranno ad ogni avvio la lista degli IP da bloccare.</p>

<p>PeerGuardian 2.0 Beta 6c è l'ultima beta di PeerGuardian, il programma che, attraverso liste, blocca gli indirizzi IP di diverse società come quelle che spiano il P2P, gli Istituti Educativi, la pubblicità, ecc.... E' praticamente obbigatorio averlo se fate uso di programmi di File Sharing ed inoltre non occupa molta memoria. Con questa nuova versione riprendono a funzionare le liste della Phoenix Labs. E' uno dei miei software preferiti e ve lo consiglio. E' Open Source.</p>
<p>Download <a href="http://www.filehippo.com/download/file/01d17847f42e76347225847b141f8641cc9cb63b543d1e1d1252eab544aec5d5/" target="_blank">PeerGuardian 2.0 Beta 6c</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/images/bg_sreen.gif" alt="Comodo" width="588" height="405" /></a></p>
<p>Έψαξα από εδώ, έψαξα από εκεί, εγκατέστησα το ένα, εγκατέστησα το άλλο και τελικά κατέληξα σε μερικά <span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong>δωρεάν εργαλεία ασφάλειας</strong></span>, που και “κύρος” διαθέτουν και δοκιμασμένα από αρκετούς χρήστες είναι.</p>
<p>Γνώριζα πως υπάρχουν πολλά, μα πάρα πολλά δωρεάν “εργαλεία” για να κάνουμε τη δουλειά μας, όποια και αν είναι αυτή, ωστόσο ελάχιστα από αυτά έχω εμπιστευτεί στον υπολογιστή μου. Συνήθως την "έβγαζα" με... shareware. Ποιες ήταν τελικά οι επιλογές μου;</p>
<p><!--more-->Για antivirus, προτίμησα το <span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong>AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition</strong></span> της <strong><a title="Grisoft" href="http://www.grisoft.com/" target="_blank">Grisoft</a> </strong>που μετά τις όποιες αυτόματες αναβαθμίσεις αυτή την ώρα βρίσκεται στην έκδοση <strong>8.0.</strong> Δείχνει ικανότατο (μου βρήκε τρεις απειλές περισσότερες από το “N32” σε ένα “ταυτόχρονο” system scan που δοκίμασα) και είναι ιδιαίτερα εύκολο στην παραμετροποιήση. Μένοντας αρχικά ικανοποιημένος από το antivirus, σκέφτηκα να κατεβάσω  στο PC (μια και τα βρήκα) και να δοκιμάσω δυο ακόμη δωρεάν εργαλεία της ίδιας εταιρείας και… “με τη μια που μπήκαν”, “με τη μια… έμειναν” στο σύστημα!</p>
<p>Έτσι εκτός από το <strong>Free Edition Anti-Virus</strong> της <strong>AVG</strong>, χρησιμοποιώ πια και το <strong>AVG Anti-Spyware</strong> το οποίο δείχνει εξίσου ικανό με άλλα “shareware” του είδους και το θεωρώ τουλάχιστον “απλό” στην παραμετροποίηση του.</p>
<p>Το Resident Sheild του AVG Anti-Spyware ωστόσο δεν θα... λειτουργήσει για πολύ (κάτι που θα σας την "σπάσει"), οπότε και προτείνω το κλασσικό και πάντα έμπιστο <a title="Spybot - Search &#38; Destroy" href="http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html" target="_blank">Spybot - Search &#38; Destroy</a> (το AVG Anti-Spyware μαζί με το <a title="Ad-Aware" href="http://www.lavasoft.com/" target="_blank">Ad-Aware της Lavasoft</a> μπορείτε να τα έχετε εγκατεστημένα παράλληλα).Είναι εύκολα παραμετροποιήσιμο, ιδιαίτερα ικανό και η ασπίδα του "πιάνει" τα πάντα.</p>
<p>Όσο αφορά στα… rootkits, για τα οποία γίνεται ακόμη μεγάλος ντόρος, προτίμησα για ακόμη μια φορά (όχι, δεν τα παίρνω από την… εταιρεία, :-) το <strong>AVG Anti-Rootkit Free</strong> της Grisoft. Έχοντας εγκατεστημένα και τα τρία εργαλειάκια στο PC, μοιάζει σαν να έχω εγκαταστήσει την… σουίτα της εταιρείας!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.grisoft.com/ww.special-download-new-avg-8-software" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.grisoft.com/stc/img/bgfx/download_avg_software_-en.jpg" alt="" width="446" height="122" /></a></p>
<p>Κατεβάστε αν θέλετε να τα δοκιμάσετε και τα τρία προγραμμάτα ασφάλειας της Grisoft από <a title="εδώ" href="http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/0" target="_blank">εδώ</a>.</p>
<p>Όσο αφορά στο θέμα της προστασίας από rootkits, θα πρότεινα επίσης το <span class="edgeatext"> <span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong>Hypersight RD</strong></span>, ένα νέο είδος anti-rootkit που αξίζει να δοκιμάσετε (κατεβάστε το από <a title="Hypersight RD" href="http://northsecuritylabs.com/testing.aspx" target="_blank">εδώ</a>). </span></p>
<p><span class="edgeatext">Το πασίγνωστο <strong>Rootkit Revealer</strong> (<a title="RootkitRevealer.zip" href="http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/RootkitRevealer.zip" target="_blank">download</a>) το εμπιστευόμουν τυφλά μέχρι πρν λίγο καιρό <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Security/RootkitRevealer.mspx" target="_blank">αλλά δεν ξέρω</a>.... </span></p>
<p>Όσο αφορά στο <strong>Firewall,</strong> έχω την εντύπωση πως το <a title="ZoneAlarm" href="http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp" target="_blank">ZoneAlarm</a> παραμένει μια εξαιρετική - αν όχι η κορυφαία - πρόταση αλλά το είχα… βαρεθεί και ήλπιζα σε κάτι νέο! Τελικά “έπεσα” πάνω στο “<a title="Comodo 3.0" href="http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/download_firewall.html" target="_blank">Comodo 3.0</a>” το οποίο και αρκετό καιρό στη πιάτσα είναι και αναγνωρισμένο και μόνο ένα απλό Firewall δεν είναι.</p>
<p>Προσφέρει επιπλέον προστασία  από ιούς, όσο και από malware ή spyware. Αποτελεί δηλαδή σχεδόν μια πλήρη σουίτα ασφαλείας! Διπλή προστασία και από πάνω δηλαδή. Η εγκατάσταση και η παραμετροποίηση δεν πήραν πολύ χρόνο, ωστόσο επειδή μερικές φορές - παρά το firewall του router - φέρομαι σαν “ψυχάκιας” με την ασφάλεια αρχικά το έκανα πολύ... "αυστηρό".</p>
<p>Όταν του ζήτησα λοιπόν να είναι πολύ "αυστηρό" και επιπλέον να με ειδοποιεί συνεχώς και από πάνω, μου έσπασε ελαφρώς τα νεύρα με τις τόσες πολλές ειδοποιήσεις για τις αιτήσεις άδειας ώστε να επιτρέψει σε εφαρμογές να προχωρήσουν στη “δουλειά” τους προς τα έξω ή προς τα μέσα στο σύστημα, ωστόσο μόλις “χαμήλωσα” το επίπεδο (ειδοποιήσεων όχι της ασφάλειας) “χαλάρωσε”, και στη συνέχεια και εγώ μαζί του.</p>
<p>Μερικοί από εσάς, ίσως να χρειάζονται επιπλέον προστασία - παράλληλα με εκείνη ενός Firewall εννοώ- και θα ήταν καλό να εγκαταστήσουν επίσης μια IP Filtering εφαρμογή ;-) όπως είναι η <a href="http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/" target="_blank">PeerGuardian 2</a> ή το <a href="http://www.bluetack.co.uk/forums/index.php?act=dscript&#38;CODE=showdetails&#38;f_id=6" target="_blank">Protowall 2.0.1</a> (λίστα με IPs και οδηγίες μπορείτε να βρείτε <a href="http://www.bluetack.co.uk/forums/index.php" target="_blank">εδώ</a> ενώ λάβετε υπόψη σας ότι για την ώρα δεν "παίζουν" με Windows Vista).</p>
<p>Οι παραπάνω εφαρμογές είναι απαραίτητες αν έχετε "κατεβαστήρι" για torrents.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.threatfire.com" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.threatfire.com/images/mainui.gif" alt="" width="340" height="243" /></a></p>
<p>Μια ακόμη εφαρμογή που είναι ιδιαίτερα χρήσιμη και μπορεί και περισσότερο αποτελεσματική από οποιοδήποτε Firewall ή Antivirus (από όσο έχω παρατηρήσει, "κινείται" και "πιάνει" νωρίτερα) είναι η <a href="http://www.threatfire.com/" target="_blank">ThreatFire</a>. Η συγκεκριμένη εφαρμογή ελέγχει τα... πάντα. Δοκιμάστε την και δεν θα χάσετε!</p>
<p>Όσο αφορά τις αναβαθμίσεις όλων των εφαρμογών που αναφέρω παραπάνω (updates), αυτές πραγματοποιούνται σε καθημερινή βάση και αυτόματα, ενώ δεν έχω το παραμικρό άγχος σχετικά με το θέμα.</p>
<p>Δεν λέω ότι τα παραπάνω προγράμματα είναι οι καλύτερες δωρεάν λύσεις που υπάρχουν, μπορεί να υπάρχουν και καλύτερες, ωστόσο σας τις συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα τουλάχιστον για να τις δοκιμάσετε και να τις συγκρίνετε με άλλες λύσεις.<br />
Πιστεύω πως θα σας ικανοποιήσουν σε μεγάλο, αν όχι στο μέγιστο, βαθμό, τηρουμένων πάντα των αναλογιών.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So anyone who knows me, knows I'm a huge Revision3 fan. Diggnation, The Totally Rad Show, Systm, I watch every single show they have.</p>
<p>So imagine my chagrin when suddenly, their site no longer loads in my browser on my Windows machine. For a while, I thought that maybe it was a DNS issue, so I checked OpenDNS using their Cache Check page. All reports were in the green there, so I figured maybe they were just having some issues of their own...Until one day, while trying to browse the forums, PeerGuardian began flashing at me....I opened it up to see what it had blocked...lo and behold, Revision3 was inexplicably on that list! For a minute I thought maybe I was just seeing things...but I re-enabled PG and tried to browse the site again....boom, blocked again!</p>
<p>Now not to drop names or make myself seem like some important person, but I run an IRC network for fans of Rev3, it's not official or anything, but we do, from time to time, get some of the show hosts and other Rev3 staffers dropping by to chat. On this occasion, thankfully, one such person was in the popSiren chat room. Mauricio Balvinera (aka maubrowncow), one of Revision3's editors, had stopped by like he does every couple days or so, and I mentioned this to him. He told the head of their IT staff, Chuck Siu, who then provided the picture seen below from a Flickr photostream he googled.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1345/1436702914_001cd6a922.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="266" /></p>
<p>I decided that something really should be done about this, besides just writing a disgruntled blog post and submitting the photo to digg. So I logged onto PhoenixLabs' IRC Chatroom on Freenode to see if I could get some answers. Here's a log of my conversation with them.</p>
<p>Apr 10 16:43:53 &#60;TuxOtaku&#62;      hey guys...I have a question about the PeerGuardian Blocklists<br />
Apr 10 16:45:12 &#60;TuxOtaku&#62;      are they user-compiled? or are they something that are maintained internally?<br />
Apr 10 16:45:37 &#60;TuxOtaku&#62;      the reason I'm asking is that certain legitimate sites I frequent are on the blocklists<br />
Apr 10 16:45:43 &#60;TuxOtaku&#62;      namely Revision3.com<br />
Apr 10 16:46:44 &#60;siofwolves&#62;    TuxOtaku, we use the lists that bluetack.co.uk create, as we don't have our own.<br />
Apr 10 16:46:54 &#60;K`Tetch&#62;       forget it, bluetack runs the lists, and they add stuff and random and NEVER take it off<br />
Apr 10 16:47:52 &#60;TuxOtaku&#62;      damn<br />
Apr 10 16:48:11 &#60;K`Tetch&#62;       they got 1/3 of the net on those lists<br />
Apr 10 16:48:18 &#60;K`Tetch&#62;       they're meaningless<br />
Apr 10 16:49:21 &#60;TuxOtaku&#62;      meaningless??<br />
Apr 10 16:49:43 &#60;TuxOtaku&#62;      whenever I have PG running and try to browse Rev3's site, it gets blocked<br />
Apr 10 16:49:44 &#60;K`Tetch&#62;       theres no way to tell who's anti-p2p, and they mostly use home connections to just LOG<br />
Apr 10 16:50:03 &#60;K`Tetch&#62;       so using bluetack's lists to try and make you safe during p2p doesn't work<br />
Apr 10 16:50:15 &#60;K`Tetch&#62;       because the people they're trying to block, they can't identify<br />
Apr 10 16:51:50 &#60;TuxOtaku&#62;      sooo, if that's the case....are there any other lists that PG can use??<br />
Apr 10 16:52:04 &#60;K`Tetch&#62;       not really, you torrent?<br />
Apr 10 16:52:04 &#60;TuxOtaku&#62;      because clearly, that's bad practise<br />
Apr 10 16:52:26 &#60;K`Tetch&#62;       who can you complain to, complain to bluetack they'll just ban you</p>
<p>So, not only do PhoenixLabs acknowledge that their software is inherently flawed, they have no means or even motivation (it would seem) to correct the problem.</p>
<p>Bearing that in mind, I no longer use PeerGuardian, and I would advise against installing this program unless you want to see similar issues to what I have experience. If this is how they plan to run things, I'm sure there are better alternatives out there. Also, I would encourage people to speak out against Bluetack and their extremely flawed service, and just generally help get the word out that this is not a product that will aid those in the filesharing and internet privacy communities.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Esto lo ví en LifeHacker, me pareció muy interesante, y me tomé el trabajo de traducirlo (no lite]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Esto lo ví en <a href="http://lifehacker.com/">LifeHacker</a>, me pareció muy interesante, y me tomé el trabajo de traducirlo (no literal, por supuesto).  Acá les va:</p>
<p>Cuando descargas archivos usando BitTorrent, estás conectado a varias personas, que tienen partes de esos archivos. Cuando se envían información mutuamente, vos y tus "pares" se intercambian sus direcciones de IP (que son como tu dirección postal, pero en el mundo digital).</p>
<p>Si por alguna extraña casualidad pones a descargar un archivos con copyright (que seguramente te pase por accidente, ya que eso es ilegal ;D ), algunas organizaciones se meten en esas descargas para ver los datos de quienes descargan ese archivo (en este caso, vos), y entre esos datos se encuentra tu IP.  Entonces, ellos tienen tu IP, y pueden contactar a tu ISP para quejarse de la infracción al copyright que estás haciendo.</p>
<p>De todas maneras, siempre hay algunos métodos que podes usar para que no sepan quién sos, y aquí las listo:</p>
<p><b>Matén a los seguidores Anti-P2P lejos de tu BitTorrent con PeerGuardian2</b></p>
<p><a href="http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/">PeerGuardian2</a> (PG2) usa una lista negra, que se actualiza constantemente, de direcciones IP que sabe que rastrean tu actividad.</p>
<p><b>Escóndete de los seguidores Anti-P2P con un proxy</b></p>
<p>Cuando el tema es la seguridad en internet, nada mejor que un buen proxy.</p>
<p>Para esto, yo les recomiendo <a href="http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html">AnonyMouse</a>, pero esto no es para P2P, sino para páginas web, de las que necesitas poner tu tarjeta de crédito y esas cosas (eso sí, es gratis).</p>
<p>En LifeHacker recomiendan <a href="http://btguard.com/">BTGuard</a>, servicio que "reenruta" tus descargas de BitTorrent hacia sus servidores (que se encuentran en Cananda). Pero, este sí, es pago.</p>
<p><img src="http://btguard.com/images/how.jpg" alt="BTGuard" /></p>
<p>En <a href="http://lifehacker.com/372633/protect-your-privacy-when-downloading">la nota original</a> hay algunas cositas mas, dicen como usar estos métodos que aquí menciono, pero, la verdad, no tengo ganas de traducir todo eso.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://sinsaber.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/lock.jpg" alt="lock.jpg" align="left" hspace="10" />Todos los que utilizamos  programas de P2P (utorrent, etc) sabemos que en ocaciones descargamos material con Copyright (derechos de autor) como peliculas, musica, series y mucho mas. Esto es una accion ilegal y LO SABEMOS.</p>
<p>Hace poco converse con un amigo en Mexico que recibio un carta de su provedor de Internet advirtiendolo que recibieron una nota de paramount sobre la descarga ilegal de una de sus peliculas con su IP. Esto lo alarmo y no supo que hacer, en su caso particular el provedor de internet solo le paso la advertencia pero no le suspendio su servicio de Internet y le comento que Paramount esta en su derecho de demandar.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>En lo personal no creo que pase a mayores pero igual recomiendo no descargar material ilegal ya que podra tener consecuencias. Sin embargo tampoco hay que crear panico, hasta donde entiendo las companias no tienen ni pueden (por que no les costea) rastrear todo lo que descargamos por P2P, en el caso de mi amigo parece que tuvo la mala suerte de descargar un archivo que contenia un tracker para obtener IPs (esto puede suceder pero no es comun).</p>
<p>Que podemos hacer? lo primero seria utilizar algun programa que bloquee los IP de las instituciones conocidas que andan cazando este tipo de conecciones, ademas bloquer direcciones de gobierno y similares. Una alternativa es PeerGuardian, este actualiza en base diaria la lista de IPs conocidas de todas estas instituciones de las que tenemos que cuidarnos de manera de que no podran accesar a nuestra informacion.</p>
<p>PeerGuardias es completamente gratuita y lo pueden descargar en <a href="http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/" target="_blank">http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/</a></p>
<p>Lo segundo es no utilizar trackers publicos para descargas, es mejor incribirse en listas privadas o pagar alguna membresia para tener acceso a trackers exclusivos en los que es mucho menos probable que nos pueda suceder lo mencionado anteriormente.</p>
<p>E lo personal debo recomendar abstenerse, no descargar software ilegal ni peliculas ni musica ni nada similar. Si lo deciden hacer de cualquier manera sera su responsabilidad.</p>
<p>si tienen alguna experiencia similar o relacionada porfavor comenten para compartirla.</p>
<p>Suerte</p>

After less than one year we are back on this topic also because more than something has changed. As you know, Linux is the safer OS you can use today: specific Linux viruses are few and malware is rare but with the increasing of users some threads are becoming real. For this reason, I strongly believe that nowadays a firewall, like Firestarter, is not enough and we all need also a good antivirus and Moblock: the program which allows to use the Peer Guardian lists on Ubuntu protecting your privacy. Today, in our Linux package we've posted a short updated manual where we explain how to install a firewall (<a title="Firestarter Homepage" href="http://www.fs-security.com/">Firestarter</a>), an antivirus (<a title="ClamAV Homepage" href="http://www.clamav.net/">ClamAV</a>) and a P2P stealth (<a title="Moblock Homepage" href="http://moblock.berlios.de/">Moblock</a>). We have tested all this software on a Ubuntu 7.10 without relevant problems; the combined use of this triplet is strongly recommended for people who desire to preserve their data and privacy. <a title="Linux Page" href="http://galigio.wordpress.com/linux/">Read us!</a> <a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php"><img style="border:0 solid;width:125px;height:16px;" src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o158/galigio/button1-bm.gif" alt="AddThis" /></a><a href="http://podcasts.odiogo.com/get_mp3.mp3?f=/computer-borders/Computer_Borders-Security_package_Rev_12_for_Ubuntu-_antivirus_firewall_and_P2P_stealth.mp3"><img style="border:0 solid;width:32px;height:16px;" src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o158/galigio/mp3link.gif" alt="mp3 link" /></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/143/356841966_3213b2fbbc.jpg?v=0" /></p>
<p>Segui queste istruzioni per usare il client P2P evitando di collegarti ai Server <b>spia</b>.</p>
<p>I Server spia sono creati, dalle stesse major, per tracciare gli IP degli utenti collegati e per vedere chi scarica cosa.</p>
<p>Il suggerimento che segue è utile per qualsiasi versione di eMule.<br />
Una volta avviato eMule, vai sulla scheda <b>Server</b> ed elimina tutti i server presenti nella lista, cliccando con il tasto destro su uno dei server presenti in lista e dando il comando <b>Elimina tutti i Server</b>.  Ora vai su <b>Opzioni</b>, poi su <b>Server</b>, quindi clicca su <b>Lista</b>.<br />
Ti si aprirà il BloccoNote di Windows. Inserisci nel file di testo i seguenti URL<b>:<br />
</b><code>http://peerates.net/servers.php<br />
http://www.gruk.org/server.met<br />
http://www.server-met.de/dl.php?load=gz&#38;trace=33357819.4167<br />
http://ed2kmet.x24hr.com/pl/slist.pl?download/server-good.met<br />
http://ed2kmet.x24hr.com/pl/slist.pl?download/server-best.met</code></p>
<p>Se sono già presenti altri URL, eliminali. A questo punto, chiudi il blocco note salvando il file; ogni volta che verrà avviato eMule verrà aggiornata la lista dei Server con quelle presenti sui siti che hai appena incollato sul file di testo.<br />
In questo modo eMule scarica principalmente liste di Server non spia. Per essere sicuri al 100% di non navigare su server Spia, puoi usare <a href="http://61miles.wordpress.com/2008/02/01/p2p-sicuro-usare-peerguardian/" title="usare PeerGuardian" target="_blank"><b>PeerGuardian</b></a> , un ottimo programma che blocca le connessioni verso indirizzi IP ritenuti sospetti.</p>
<p>A me la lista dei server si è dimezzata, dopo l’aggiornamento senza i server Spia. La tua invece?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://lucabartoletti.wordpress.com/files/2008/01/peerxfire.png" title="Link diretto al file"><img src="http://lucabartoletti.wordpress.com/files/2008/01/peerxfire.thumbnail.png" alt="PeerGuardian vs Xfire" align="left" height="120" hspace="10" width="120" /></a><a href="http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/" target="_blank">PeerGuardian </a>è un ottimo programma che si occupa di difenderci da attacchi di utenti spia durante l'uso quotidiano di programmi p2p. Per far questo utilizza un enorme lista di range di IP da escludere, la difficoltà principale per i maintainers di questa lista è quella di escludere IP innocui, capita spesso infatti (lo si nota se si lascia attivo il controllo sul protocollo HTTP) di trovarsi bloccato la comunicazione verso IP totalmente innocui. Nonostante tale difetto è stato dimostrato da <a href="http://punto-informatico.it/p.aspx?i=2086601" target="_blank">ricerche universitarie</a> che Peerguardian risulta oggi fondamentale per utilizzare le reti p2p con tranquillità.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Perché PeerGuardian vs Xfire allora? Era un pò di tempo che volevo ricominciare ad utilizzare Xfire, un ottimo programma che ha un sacco di funzioni utili per giocare online. Permette di trovare, aggiornare e lanciare partite ai server dei giochi installati sul nostro PC; gestisce i contatti con i nostri amici giocatori segnalandoci i server dove stanno giocando per permetterci di raggiungerli con facilità, fornisce supporto audio in stile TeamSpeak ed altre innumerevoli funzioni (per maggiori informazioni andate <a href="http://www.xfire.com">qui</a>). Il problema era che Xfire non riusciva a connettersi ai propri server, dopo un pò di testate sul muro ho capito che il problema era che Peerguardian bloccava la comunicazione.</p>
<p>Se doveste riscontrare lo stesso problema basta:</p>
<ul>
<li>Aprire Peerguardian</li>
<li>Aprire Xfire e provare a connettersi</li>
<li>Andare nel "History Log" di PeerGuardian e scorrere gli ultimi IP nel log e trovare <i>"Viacom INC."</i></li>
<li>Con il tasto destro selezionate "Allow permanently"</li>
</ul>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Roma - <a href="http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/" target="_blank">PeerGuardian</a>, il programmino di <a href="http://phoenixlabs.org/" target="_blank">Phoenix Labs</a> <a href="http://punto-informatico.it/p.aspx?i=2016358" target="_blank">pensato</a> per tenere fuori dalla porta del PC gli indirizzi IP noti per essere al soldo di RIAA, MPAA e simili organizzazioni dedite alla "caccia al condivisore" è molto più che utile durante le sessioni con il proprio client di P2P preferito: <b>è indispensabile</b>.</p>
<p>Questo almeno è quello che si evince dalla lettura di una recente ricerca condotta in ambito universitario, che ha "saggiato" <b>l'effettiva utilità delle blacklist di IP</b> tipiche di software quali appunto il suddetto PeerGuardian.</p>
<p>Lo studio è opera di tre ricercatori della <a href="http://www.ucr.edu/" target="_blank">University of California, Riverside</a>, curiosi di verificare <b>la percentuale di possibilità per cui un utente di file sharing possa finire dritto nelle fauci dei "fake user"</b>, <i>peer</i> fittizi con cui organizzazioni sul genere di <a href="http://punto-informatico.it/p.aspx?i=2071398" target="_blank">MediaDefender</a> inondano la rete con il solo scopo di raccogliere gli IP dei condivisori di un particolare file o contenuto. Il risultato del lavoro degli studiosi è <a href="http://www1.cs.ucr.edu/store/techreports/UCR-CS-2006-06201.pdf" target="_blank">un PDF</a> dal titolo piuttosto eloquente: "P2P: Is Big Brother Watching You?".</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p style="padding:15px;" align="center">&#160;</p>
<p>Usando un client appositamente modificato per lo scopo, i tre universitari hanno raccolto e analizzato più di 100 Gigabyte di <i>header TCP</i> agli inizi del 2006. Dopo 90 giorni di tracciamento e catalogazione, lo studio <a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071010-p2p-researchers-use-a-blocklist-or-you-will-be-tracked-100-of-the-time.html" target="_blank">ha fatto emergere</a> una realtà ben nota agli utenti del P2P ma fino ad ora mai analizzata con criteri analitici: senza l'impiego di una blacklist e di un software di <i>IP filtering</i>, <b>la possibilità di venire tracciati è praticamente automatica</b>. Il 12-17% di tutti i peer della rete impiegata nell'esperimento è risultato appartenente alle liste degli indirizzi <i>bannati</i>, e senza un tool protettivo lo scambio di informazione con tali peer fasulli è una certezza.</p>
<p>Usando invece i suddetti tool, le possibilità di venire catalogati e <i>beccati</i> calano drasticamente: secondo i ricercatori, <b>evitare le connessioni alla top list dei 5 IP bloccati basta a ridurre le suddette possibilità dal 100% all'1%</b>. E che gli IP delle liste testate durante lo studio appartengano proprio alle società a cui essi sono attribuiti appare quantomeno probabile, considerando che la stragrande maggioranza di essi non viene risolta in maniera normale dalle <i>query DNS</i>. Le mediadefender della rete tendono insomma a camuffare le proprie tracce mentre fanno il lavoro sporco.</p>
<p>Discorso diverso invece per la garanzia assoluta della riconducibilità degli indirizzi alle società specializzate in fake: per quello, sostengono gli studiosi, occorrerebbe produrre uno studio apposito. A favore delle blacklist giocano <b>gli sforzi impiegati dai supporter del P2P per metterle insieme nel corso del tempo</b>, e il fatto che i filtri dimostrino comunque di essere attivi e di bloccare i <i>range</i> di indirizzi incriminati, <a href="http://punto-informatico.it/p.aspx?i=2083976" target="_blank">anche se non solo quelli</a>. In mancanza di dati più certi, per gli <i>aficionado</i> della condivisione è già un buon risultato.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the last couple of weeks or so (maybe it's just been a week, I don't know), <strong>I haven't been able to connect to MSN</strong> with Kopete or Gaim. It has worked fine since initial installation of Ubuntu, and all of a sudden it just stopped and kept spitting out an "operation is not supported" error message.  I didn't really look into it during that time.  But yesterday, it finally <strong>pissed me off</strong> enough to sit down and troubleshoot it.</p>
<p>After a bit of thinking, Googling, and reading forum posts, I remembered that <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192559" title="MoBlock How-To">MoBlock</a> (PeerGuardian for Linux) <strong>had recently been updated</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Why would that cause any problems?</strong>  Well, I remembered that when I initially installed it, I had to <strong>remove the Microsoft ranges</strong> that MoBlock blocked so that I can connect to MSN.  I followed some steps in the <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192559">Ubuntu Forum MoBlock thread</a> to remove these ranges and <strong>it worked... until the update.</strong></p>
<p>Thinking that the update re-added the Microsoft ranges, I figured I'd follow the same steps. When I looked at my MoBlock settings, sure enough, Microsoft was getting blocked again.  Then I thought, no.  I just want MSN to work and <strong>not block all of Microsoft</strong>.</p>
<p>So I followed some other steps in the MoBlock thread to tell it to allow the port number Gaim and Kopete use to connect to the MSN servers:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>sudo gedit /etc/moblock/MoBlock-nfq.sh</strong></li>
<li>Found the line: <strong>WHITE_TCP_OUT="http https"</strong></li>
<li>Added 1863 (MSN Port #) to that line, like this: <strong>WHITE_TCP_OUT="http https 1863"</strong></li>
<li>Saved the file and closed it.</li>
<li>Did a <strong>sudo /etc/init.d/moblock-nfq restart</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>That's it!  No more problems!  Then, I got this satisfying feeling in my tummy!</p>
