DC++ and spyware

[Requiem]

Is the information on this page  correct? I think the writer is true, because I saw DC++ 0.668 trying to send mails (as reported by ZoneAlarm).. What do you think?

[BoJlk]

ok, then you don't have to worry about anything
your ZoneAlarm will block future attempts of DC to send mail, (click never to aks you again in ZoneAlarm)

There's no "Hacked" Clients, it's an OpenSource anyone can add/Modify the Program.
and the old version of DC (v0.403) was trying to send mail, when i was using it.

 a bit late buddy.. Once I tried to be active on port 25 to pass my universities' firewall, and I thought these alarms meant it is still trying :) I know, I am stupid..

And.. What about connecting to tracking services?

dc++ 0,668 sends emails? does it send to a certain IP or through a certain port?

As written in the linked page:

M-WEB, proxy, BSA.co.za AP2P" ( 196.2.147.80 ) [protocol: TCP - src: 3076 / dst: 25]

(Attempts to silently email personal information to the BSA Anti Peer to Peer agency, a division of the DCMA and associate to the RIAA.)

Not that i know of...

Damn, i could have told you but i've erased all my Firewall log  

[(uk-kingdom)John]

this a joke or is it real? and if it's real what made dcdev want to make a client send emails to bsa? can't trust any dc client now, i'll use a different one till someone from dcdev tells us whats going on.

From BoJlk:

But, you're not blocking DC++ from sending mail, you're blocking uploads to a user who has made his DC++ listen on the SMTP port - probably in an effort to avoid packet shaping at his ISP or university.

Good firewall/AV programs could inspect the packet to notice that it's not speaking valid SMTP...

DCDEV ARE FAGS > GargoyleMT SUCKX DiCK!

Didn't I ban you when you were flooding DCDev Public?  You were attacked, and the attacker claimed that they were us.  You then attacked us.

I swear I spoke to someone higher up on the TE hierarchy and settled this.

[BoJlk]

you're not blocking DC++ from sending mail, you're blocking uploads

When you allow or disallow DC to work with TCP/UDP protocols, not any other...
Mail = SMTP protocol

blocking uploads

Uploading is outgoing Request...
Sending SMTP (Mail) DC will initiate an outgoing Request to Remote IP Address thru PORT:25.
and that will be Blocked.

SMTP is IP based protocol.  Feel free to read the latest protocol specification for it

Agreed, and that scenario is identical whether sending mail or trying to upload a file to a remote user who has set their DC++ to listen to the SMTP port....

If he's made flooding programs, then he has programming knowledge.  What does that have to do with what I said?

doesn't look like bsa @ all does it??


tcp/udp in noob style.

tcp: i call you on the phone, you answer and say your name, i check this and identify myself.
when all this is correct we start talking.

udp: i start shouting and pray that you hear it.

smtp uses tcp (the phone) 2 connect and then talks the smtp language.
if my dc++ client connects 2 a smtp server and talks dc then the mailserver has no idea what my dc++ client is talking about and disconnects.

btw doesn't the dc++ faq tell you that you shouldn't use zonealarm cause it's dead stupid and can cause your up/downloads 2 become corrupted.?
