I Wonder Who This Is?
« on: June 09, 2011, 01:50:14 pm »

I'm at work and I just opened up MC16 and realized I had the wrong library open.  When I switched, I saw someone else's copy of MC in the list of auto-detected servers.  Hmmmmm....  I must find this person and congratulate them.

Ha! Back when I was using iTunes, I was at work and decided to see what other libraries were being shared. A certain PhD student was sharing his library, and since he was a decent dude, I decided to see what his collection was like. I quickly realised that he probably didn't know it was being shared- the whole library was porn videos that he'd downloaded. Stupid thing is that iTunes couldn't even decode the Xvid codec they were encoded in, but I could certainly play the mp3 sound back on my machine!
In fact the only way I figured out what his "collection" was was when I tried to play an interestingly named file - I honestly thought "Gangbangers" must have been an old-skool (mid-90s, so not really old-skool) rap crew. I immediately went up to him in the other side of the facility and told him to stop sharing his library.
Funnily enough he won a pretty prestigious award as a promising young researcher two weeks ago, having made big strides in understanding the molecular basis of schizophrenia. Thus, it provides a strong case that porn makes you more productive.  ;D

Now I'm wondering if it's me.

What's number one in top hits?

Not worrying at all... Just someone else at my workplace who happens to be a J River MC user!  This was someone on the internal LAN.  Unfortunately, with well over 1100 employees at my site, finding out who it was would probably be pretty challenging (and we have lots of visitors too, so it could be one of our summer students or something from who knows where).

Anyone else on here in Downeast Maine?

Hah!  Whomever it was did actually set a password, so I can't connect.  I tried, nearly immediately.  And, yes, if it had not had a password, I probably would have chosen to mess with them by playing something.

if you can snoop the destination address in the IP packet from your machine that MC uses to discover and attempt to connect to the mystery user (Wireshark) you could then use nbstat -a <ip address> to map it to the NETBIOS name and maybe that will give you a clue to the identity
