Apparently the schools cracking down on illegal downloading/file sharing. They've already made examples of two people using ares, p2p program, to share full versions of Auto cad.

They are using something called a packet shaper or something to that effect. I'm a bio major so I really dont know what the hells going on.

Thing is, they say they know what you download. I mostly use MIRc to download programs/movies these days. They say they can see what you are downloading from there too.....whats the deal?

How are they seeing what I'm downloading and is there anyway to mask it? Can they see what I'm d/ling on Mirc, or is it a load of crap?At this rate I will have to pay to watch movies again... Or pay for single player games *shudder*

BTW, I'm on a college campus t1 connection, if that's relevant.

Thanks guys

Probably a packet sniffer. If they suspect folks of downloading / trading across a campus network they can set the switches up and run a packet sniffer off of it. Or, like where I work ( AT&T ) there are dedicated sniffers sitting on the network to watch everything.

Their firewall systems will likely log all incoming / outgoing traffic so they know what websites you're looking at. They also will know what ports your p2p application will use and can flag those as well. Surprised they haven't blocked them to be honest.

Trading stuff between students on campus is easier to do if you encrypt all the data between the systems. Coming off of a website or MIRC will be more difficult unless the party on the other side also encrypts their data.
