The Best Security is making the problem widely known. 2001-02-26

I think this software, if it picks up, will alert more and more end users to the fact that their systems are wide open. Which is good in the sense that if they care they will resolve the issue and not make their systems easy targets for DDOS Agents. On the other hand it will make it easier for college people to make an MP3 folder, share it and invite the world to have full access, which could and will lead to problems.
