I am probably not the only one who knows about this little trick. SO if you 
get caught using this or something it is not my fucking fault.
I claim no responsibility whatsoever for your actions. SO behave...

Intro:

One time i was using morpheus i was being queued like crazy... I thought 
"what if i could just gain direct access to their computers and bypass 
morpheus altogether...
So off i went on my quest and in about 5 minutes i had suceeded... this is 
stupidly easy...

What to do:

First find out the ip address of someone you know is using morpheus/kazaa. 
This may be a friend, a guess, or whatever. If you really wanted to find
it you could port scan a domain for port 1214... this is the port that the 
program uses...... Another way is to start downloading something and then
go to DOS or command line for NT users and type in netstat...
As many of you know, this tells you all of your open ports and who is 
accessing them... Hmm i wonder what you can do with this
after typing netstat you will get a list of ip/host adresses with 1214 as 
the port number...
Now all you simply have to do is open your favorite web browser and type
in their ip address with :1214 beside it for example

http://255.255.255.255:1214 or whatever... (note don't type this particular 
ip address it may cause a broadcast storm in you lan:)

It only gives you read priveledges to their shared/upload folder but it
does allow to bypass the queue system which is good if you want to suck
up some one's bandwidth etc.

So enjoy tormenting people through morpheus and don't expect this large 
security hole to be fixed any time soon...
