2007-10-26 Another Discovery Category - Greynets

The Register.com posted an article today on the existence of illicit "conduits for malware" or
greynets" that proliferate through most enterprises today. These are technically (and typically) described as peer-to-peer applications, downloaded apps that connect direct to other users to exchange messages and/or data, (aka Instant Messaging, VoIP and filesharing applications) but greynet appears to be the emerging term de jure, and provides another wide-ranging category request type to be used in discovery.
