Hello,
Can someone help me with an opinion please ?
What could be a need for someone to use Wireshark during downloading of
shared files from someone else's computer in P2P program, if these files
come to the one who is downloading anyway ? Isn't it suspicious ? I feel
that a purpose could be to gain more info from a computer than just the
shared files. Am I right?
Thank you very much,
You've asked this three different times now. Why don't you ask the
person doing the packet capture? There's nothing suspicious since you
decided to participate in the P2P network, you allowed others to
download data from your computer, and he's looking at incoming packets
that you allowed him to receive.
You're asking the list to figure out why someone would capture packets
destined for his own computer. It could be that
A) he's a master hacker disguising himself as a newb.
B) he's simply curious about packet capture
C) he found Wireshark and thinks it's a "hacker tool"
D) he simply has more time than he needs.
E) Any combination of the above.
