An investigation into peer-to-peer network security using Wireshark

Peer-to-peer networks' ability to be used as
the primary vector of delivery in a highly sensitive
environment poses many dangers. The impacts of the
hazards on security can be measured when using peer-topeer
networks in a standard computing environment. The
transfer of data across multiple network data-centers
exposes the system to a potential insider threat, remote
control, and the possible leak of private and confidential
information. In this paper, we present an analysis of peerto-
peer network security. This follows a description of
existing techniques to prevent potential threats to peer-to peer networks and finally the paper presents a proposed
technique to enhance the security of peer-to-peer networks
using simulation based experimental study.
