摘要: P2P file sharing systems such as Gnutella, Freenet, and KaZaA, while primarily intended for multimedia files, frequently allow other types of information to be shared. This raises serious concerns about the extent which users may unknowingly private or personal information.In this paper, we report on a cognitive walkthrough laboratory user study KaZaA interface. The majority in our were unable tell what files they sharing, sometimes incorrectly assumed not any when fact all their hard drive. An analysis network suggested that large number appeared unwittingly some indeed taking advantage downloading containing ostensibly information.
