Default all you can fake using fasttrack ...

on fasttrack net, all of you know users can fake
  • filenames, titles, artists all the details
  • filecontent, extensions
that all people know.
But did you know, that you fake
  • username - you actually can give you any username for upload (of course you need some program or script for that).
  • ip - you can make the other client believe, that you are someone completely different. in fact you can redirect the "Search more from this user" to a completely different ip (a user who's really sharing) giving him any username. (only tricking the client - with netstat of course you get the real ip - but this can be a normal http proxy with anonymous access)
since i found out, many others will know that either.

i found it not really a security threat, but you simply should know, what some things are worth.
