Overview:

Peer–to-peer networking has existed since the birth of computing networks. Recently, however, peer-to-peer networks have gained momentum with searchable peer-to-peer network file databases, increased network connectivity, and content popularity.

This paper will discuss the malicious threats, privacy concerns, and security risks of three common peer-to-peer network systems, which are gaining popularity today. The malicious threats discussed will include how malicious threats can harness existing peer-to-peer networks, and how peer-to-peer networking provides an additional (potentially unprotected) vector of delivery for malicious code.
