Larry Pesce and Mick Douglas presented, “Information disclosure via P2P networks: Why stealing an identity via Gnutella is like clubbing baby seals.” Larry and Mick started their presentation with a few stories about arrests of persons accused of identity theft. They shared with the audience an interesting collection of files, images, and other finds that they acquired by way of their own experiments; experiments conducted to determine how hard or easy it would be to obtain information from P2P file sharing sites. Wow, what a collection: Turbo Tax returns complete with social security numbers, bank routing numbers and account numbers, identification cards and drivers licenses, passports, and some entertaining stuff from . . . Paris Hilton’s P2P file sharing network. Larry and Mick mentioned that next generation P2P will include encrypted traffic. However, until then, think twice about what you might actually be sharing across P2P file sharing networks. Some users might think they signed up on a P2P network to share music files, yet unknowingly have left there entire hard drive open for the taking. The remainder of this presentation was primarily about The Cactus Project, which is a “tool intended to be used for all sorts of purposes on the Gnutella bases P2P network.”
