The client program should not register this server as a computer running Kazaa because it sends a reply. When you send a weird string to an instance of Kazaa running on port 1214 it immediately disconnects you. Hence if you get a response it is not Kazaa you connected to. Here is the code I wrote for the fake Kazaa server: FakeKazaa.cs ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // A useless server to sit on port 1214 and wait for a connection to fake the existance // of Kazaa. // I will attempt to make the client program realize it is fake and not identify this // server as Kazaa. // Jim Peterson 2006 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// using System; using System.Text; using System.Net; using System.Net.Sockets; public class FakeKazza { public static void Main () { String IP_Adress =  ; IPHostEntry localComputer = Dns.Resolve( localhost ); IPAddress[] localIP = localComputer.AddressList; for ( int i = 0; i IP_Adress = IP_Adress + localIP[i]; } while ( true ) { try { IPAddress ipAd = IPAddress.Parse(IP_Adress); TcpListener listener1 = new TcpListener(ipAd 1214); listener1.Start(); Console .WriteLine( Fake Kazaa is running on portt 1214... ); Socket s = listener1.AcceptSocket(); Console .WriteLine( Connection accepted from this IP:  + s.RemoteEndPoint); byte [] b = new byte [100]; int k = s.Receive(b); Console .WriteLine( Recieved a bunch of byytes: ); for ( int i = 0; i Console .Write( Convert .ToChar(b[i])); } ASCIIEncoding asen = new ASCIIEncoding (); // Only send these bytes if you want the scanner to identify that // you are not Kazaa s.Send(asen.GetBytes( OK I recieved your bytes )); Console .WriteLine( 
I sent the client aknowledgement ); s.Close(); listener1.Stop(); } catch ( Exception e) { Console .WriteLine( Ah poo an error:  + e); } } } } So when we run the server and then tell the client to scan localhost we should get the output: The target is NOT running Kazaa. Good! It works. Try commenting this line out of the server code: s.Send(asen.GetBytes( OK I recieved your bytes )); And the result should be that the target is indeed running Kazaa.
