Re: Tracking Kazaa?

What if they install Kazaa to a different location? I would definitely try to hide something I'm not supposed to have.

I don't know what port does Kazaa use but would not your firewall be able to tell you that computer X tries to use pert XX or just that it generates too much traffic?

Or maybe if you find out what port does Kazaa use you might try to connect to that port on all computers and if you do get a connection ...

As with install locations, many programs allow users to change which port is used for communications. I'm not sure if Kazaa (evil evil program) allows such configuration, but it is most likely ;) If the above content is missing any vital points or you feel that any of the information is misleading, incorrect or irrelevant, please feel free to downvote the post.

If it allows them to select it can only allow them to choose from a list. It has to be able to connect to something outside. And I don't think the other party would listen on all ports. Or maybe not. I never tried to use it. I know though a coleague here did and was soon blocked by our firewall.
