New Software lets Law Enforcement Patrol Peer-to-Peer Networks

OAK HILL, West Virginia. - March 28, 2008 – Zemerick Software, Inc. has announced
the availability of free computer software that lets law enforcement patrol peer-to-peer file sharing networks. This software, called Forensic P2P, joins other free software for law enforcement collectively known as SPEAR Forensics.
Forensic P2P lets officers search the Gnutella peer-to-peer network for files, such as music, image, and video files. Forensic P2P has all the features of popular file-sharing programs such as Bearshare and Limewire but with extra features designed specifically for use by law enforcement. Forensic P2P can integrate with the officers’ database of known illegal files to quickly highlight known illegal files in search results.
