Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. File sharing peer to peer (P2P) systems like Gnutella, KaZaA, and eDonkey/eMule, took the Internet by a storm in recent years, with estimated user population of millions. Measurements show that about 50% of the file exchanges are illegal copies of multimedia files like AVI, MP3 etc. An academic research pointed on some weaknesses of two popular P2P networks in protecting user''s privacy. The research analyzed Gnutella and eMule protocols and found weaknesses in the protocol; many of the issues found in these networks are fundamental and probably common on other P2P networks. Users of file sharing networks like eMule and Gnutella do not enjoy privacy but are subject to possible surveillance. Users may be tracked by IP address, DNS name, software version they use, files they share, queries they initiate, and queries they answer to.
