Parasitic computing is an example of a potential technology that could be
viewed simultaneously as a threat or healthy addition to the online
universe. On the Internet, reliable communication is guaranteed by a
standard set of protocols, used by all computers. These protocols can be
exploited to compute with the communication infrastructure, transforming
the Internet into a distributed computer in which servers unwittingly
perform computation on behalf of a remote node. In this model, one machine
forces target computers to solve a piece of a complex computational
problem merely by engaging them in standard communication.

Parasitic computing raises important questions about the ownership of the
resources connected to the Internet and challenges current computing
paradigms. The purpose of our work it to raise awareness of the existence
of these issues, before they could be exploited. By publishing our work we
wish to bring the Internet's various existing vulnerabilities to the
attention of both the scientific community and the society at large, so
that the ethical, legal and scientific ramifications raised by it can be
resolved.
