over a year ago we were using scanned ip's to do port 1214 searches without even bothering to load a fasttrack client. we just used i.e., and we still can today. with ip #'s taken from active transfers you can always scan shared files - no matter how many times a users changes a screen name - as long as their ip address remains constant. so what's different? i'm asking because this at least sounds different, and if it's different it might mean a new weakness. if that's the case it brings up other issues.
