Snort is one tool used by alot of IT guys to block file
sharing programs. THe trouble with these programs is that they have built in
port "movers" that will scan the local network to find an available port to work
on. Scripting is one way to do it....but that mostly just alerts you to the fact
that there is traffice being used on your network for file sharing. I would like
to know an exact way to block file sharing as well...

Subject: [Full-Disclosure] Blocking Music Sharing.
Due to the legal
issues, I am trying to block access to sites like Kazaa and Limewire in the
office. If I am not mistaken, these networks can use different ports each
time, so there is no way to block it at the firewall. Is this right?
And if so, what is the best way to block access to these types of
sites?
Many
thanks,
Mark J.
