:''For an alternate use of the term, see network telescope'' Within the context of corporate and organizational networks, a greynet (or Grayware) is an elusive networked computer application that is downloaded and installed on end user systems without express permission from network administrators and often without awareness or cognition that it is deeply embedded in the organization’s network fabric. These applications may be of some marginal use to the user, but inevitably consume system and network resources. In addition, greynet applications often open the door for end use systems to become compromised by additional applications, security risks and malware. ''NOTE:'' Unfortunately, this computer application shares the same name as the Grey Literature Network Service (GreyNet) http://www.greynet.org Fortunately, however, this is the only thing they share in common. == Examples == * Public instant messaging (AOL Instant Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger) * Web conferencing (webcam, VoIP telephony) * Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing clients * Distributed computing such as SETI@home * Adware "utilities" * Commercial spyware * Keystroke logging 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greynet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
