Thanks for all the information. It was just an idea I had in my head - I'm still pretty fresh in the security dept of things. I don't have much sway in the CS dept at college since, like I said, I'm just a student.
I was wondering about the performance issue of TCPDump logging all that traffic, but I figured I'd ask.
Blocking all ports other than FTP and HTTP? Heck no, if the CS dept ever did that I'd die. I use SSH religiously (well, almost :) ), and we have a number of gamers on campus. As well, a few of us use P2p for legit purposes (I share my own music over Limewire - As in music I have written and recorded. I also share free security books). It's just not viable.
Anyway, question answered, and once again, thanks for all the replies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer Forensics Training at the InfoSec Institute.
