There is a much more complete publication here-> http://opennap.sourceforge.net/napster.txt david.weekly.org was not the first to publish the protocol, and said that he was not the first and or best in a post on slashdot. david has a very good presentation of it and would be a good reference, but a more complete version is available above. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: David U.

there is no risk to guard against.Agreed. I just let through the last few posts surrounding "tricking" Napster. If folks want to continue poking at Napster, you should look for some real bugs. I think the protocol was published recently, no? That would be a good place to start. BB
The protocol was published: Protocol: http://david.weekly.org/code/napster.php3 Story: somewhere on mp3.com/news -davidu
