-----Original Message----- From: Deshpande, Yashodhan [mailto:ydeshpande () ipolicynet com] Sent: Thursday, 4 March 2004 11:24 AM Hi, Any information regarding IDS/IPS software available which blocks p2p traffic? Or in general any information regarding how to identify p2p application is running and may be configure firewall to block such traffic. In general it is observed that such applications do not work on = single port and do port hopping. How to block them? Any inputs on the same would be appreciated. Thanks, Yashodhan
Yashonda, Surfcontrol has a product which can filter and block: Public IM Protocols AOL Instant Messenger MSN Messenger Yahoo Messenger ICQ Peer-to-Peer Gnutella Network (Morpheus, BearShare, Phex, Gnucleus, LimeWire, others) FastTrack Network (Grokster and Kazaa) Not sure if it is what you are really looking for, but I would definitely go and read up on it. You can probably download a 30 day trial as well. I have not used this product apart from lab testing, but I have had great success with their email and web filtering products.
