P2P security measures are easily circumvented. Malware writers are increasingly and aggressively exploiting P2P. We cannot say that is true in the present day.

Winny, a Japanese filesharing program somewhat similar to Freenet.Utatane (P2P), a Japanese Opennap client.Share (P2P), a Japanese successor to Winny.Perfect Dark (P2P), a Japanese successor to Share.Upload managers (MxMonitor and Leechhammer) can be used to control the upload rate of peers and can block certain kinds of peers from downloading, including those who do not share any files. As mentioned above, the protocol level attacks have ceased and the network has been operating normally albeit with a reduction in network users it's currently too early to assess the percentage of 'lost' users but it most certainly exceeds several thousand and may act as a warning for other P2P networks that have protocol weaknesses that can be exploited. In addition to offering a live list of chat rooms, it also offered a one click solution for joining chat rooms in WinMX via the web page itself with the WinMX Link Handler. A web based WinMX Chat Room List was set up for users to retrieve a full room list, and also offered the ability to manually add chat rooms to the web list. Commencing in May 2011 the WinMX network had been under protocol level attack from a disgruntled community developer (program hacker) who disagreed with those operating the network support infrastructure (user support forums & peer cache operators).As a result of those attacks the WPNP network searches would return random query results (alongside relevant results) that were unrelated to the specific term searched for, and also users were unable to receive a full chat room list.
