Exploiting P2P Communications
Am Wednesday, 2. Nov 2011 im Topic 'News'
This paper, shows how to exploit real-time communication applications to determine the IP address of a targeted user.
This paper focuses on Skype, although other real-time communication applications may have similar privacy issues. The paper presenter designed a scheme that calls an identified targeted user inconspicuously to find his IP address, which can be done even if he is behind a NAT! By calling the user periodically, they were then able to observe the mobility of the user.
