Recently, advanced Internet applications such as Internet telephone, multimedia streaming, and file sharing have appeared. Especially, P2P or web-based file sharing applications have been notorious for their illegal usage of contents and massive traffic consumption by a few users. This paper presents a novel method to identify the P2P or web-based file names with traffic monitoring. For this purpose, we have utilized the Korean decoding method on the IP packet payload. From experiments, we have shown that the file names requested by BitTorrent, Clubbox, and Tple applications could be correctly identified.
