+ 6 - 6 | § ¶Secure P2P Sharing

First,

DISCLAIMER: I'm not a guru, I'm just a learner. So there might be a chance that the whole article might be fundamentally wrong.

I thought of this because I use P2P network a lot to download mp3 and cracks.

On my laptop, which is the repository of everything I have, it is necessary for me to make sure that it is secure enough.

To firewall it I use the single rule from iptables:

`/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m state --state NEW,INVALID -j DROP`

This command, as I know, helps me keep my machine secure.

The only problem is that with this command most of the P2P applications (I use gnutella) don't work to the fullest features.

In this article I'll try to explain about how to keep a secure machine along with a full featured P2P application working.

Keywords: P2P,Gnutella,Masquerade,Virtualization,User-Mode-Linux

+ 4 - 7 | § ¶Back In Business

Overall it has been a complete rediscovered experience switching from own webservers to a web-hosting service provider's servers.

It took me almost a full week to get back pivot working on the foreign host. I really miss my servers. Cam, if you can listen that, "You made me have a week of tiring time".
