Hi,
in the latest C`T magazine (germans best Computer magazine) there is an
article about RealPlayer sending GUID (Globaly Unique IDs) during registration
to the RealNetworks server.
(Even if the registration is aborted, RealPlayer sends the GUID)
To proove this behavior, the editor captured the flows between his
workstation and the RealNetworks server using ETHEREAL !!!!!
-> there is a large screenshot in the showing Ethereal at work
(main window & a "tcp stream" window)
unfortuatly the article does not mention which tool is shown in
the screenshots (and the web version of the article does not
even show the screeshots)
anyway here is the link: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/ju-01.11.99-000/default.shtml
