LARTC - Aug 2004 - info an ARES/WAREZ

Hello,

    I''m blocking/limiting succesfully all P2P activity on our corporate
network using linux/ipp2p/connmark.

    That is, until now. For my colleagues have found a new p2p client to 
wreck havoc on our DSL line: ARES/WAREZ  It seems to be a gnuttela 
clone, but different enouph for ipp2p not to identify it.

    I played around a bit with tcpflow with no success of finding  
something that could be taken as a positivie signature in its headers.

    Is there any info of this new p2p network ? Any open soure client ? 
Something that could be used to reverse engineer (at least partially) 
its protocol ?

    I will really hate to block all FORWARD traffic and I am willing (at 
least try) to write a new filter for ipp2p.

    Thanks for your time.

    Dimitris.

It just looks like a clone but protocol does not seem to match. But I just
had a quick view at the network dump.

Well, they use at least for the search a HTTP-like request I guess we cannot
differ from a regular HTTP request.

One suggestion: drop all traffic from and to matches.warezclient.com
(66.45.237.99) - maybe this will help.
