hi,
I had posted a query a very long time a go about blocking/stopping Kazaa ver 2 Clients on my internal network from reaching the outside world. Did not get many responses for ver 2 blocking, ver 1 was port 1214 .
Version 2 will transfer files over port 80 if 1214 is not available.
Asking the question again. How to block Kazaa Ver 2+ clients from connecting and or transferring files via a Linux box, running IPTables/Kernel 2.4.19+.
You cannot do this purely by means of a firewall. Set a policy to ban Kazaa and the like, turn on an IDS to detect Kazaa traffic, fire the person running Kazaa. This works better than anything else. Or you could just block port 80 as well.
