Embodiment Construction

[0017] The preferred system of the present invention beneficially utilizes a scanning software program to scan the target computer in order to find the signature of participating in the peer-to-peer network, the ability to participate in the peer-to-peer network, or both. The scanning software has certain preferred attributes and configures these attributes for the specific type of peer-to-peer scanning system desired by the mandatory user.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the software program is executed on the target computer. This software program searches the registry entry for a specific set of keys or values ​​that matches the known peer-to-peer client software. If a match is found, the mandatory user can be notified, and the software program can disable the peer-to-peer client software, or take both actions together.

[0019] In another embodiment of the invention, the software program is executed on the target computer. This software program sea...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for detecting whether or not a computer system is, has, or can participate in a Peer-to-Peer network. Scanning software is executed on a target system to be scanned or a remote system which will scan a target system. If Peer-to-Peer client software is detected the scanning software can notify the enforcing user, disable the Peer-to-Peer client software, or both.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention provides a system for detecting whether a computer system participates in, has participated in, or can participate in a peer-to-peer network. Background technique [0002] As used herein, the peer-to-peer network that is the subject of the present invention includes multiple nodes, each node typically consists of a file server and a client, the file server and client can send and receive to or from the nodes to which they are connected Data or "communication messages". [0003] In a peer-to-peer network, each node connects to other nodes directly or through some type of proxy via a communication medium such as the Internet. For example, when a search request is issued, such an initiating node sends a search request to all nodes connected to it. (See figure 1 ) These nodes search the list of files available to them and if a match is found, then they send back a response with a location. However, a peer-to-peer proxy network typically c...
