Re: Peer to Peer Blocking

We use a program called Keyserver by Sassafras.  It is a lot more than what you need, but we use it to block or keep 
track of .exe files.  We key the file with 0 lic then when the user tries to open the program it says please see your 
network admin.

  Subject: [SECURITY] Peer to Peer Blocking


  Our college has received Copyright warnings from the Recording Industry concerning what they believe to be improper 
music downloads using 'peer to peer' networks, such as BearShare, BitTorent, LineWire, Gnutella, KaZaA, etc.  

  Has anyone implemented a  'peer to peer' Blocking service to address this issue?  Pros and Cons?  Or are there other 
solutions?



  Ability is what you're capable of doing. 
      Motivation determines what you do. 
          Attitude determines how well you do it.
