Abstract

In this paper the authors analyze P2P security issues, establishing vulnerabilities that software
clients represent. The authors go on to present experimental evidence of the risk through honeypot
experiments that expose both business and personal financial information and they track the resulting consequences. Their analysis and experimental results show the security risk of P2P file sharing networks.
