This chapter provides introduction for peer-to-peer network, attacks on peer-to-peer network and defensive techniques for solving those attacks. A Network is any collection of independent computers that communicate with one another over a shared network medium. In peer-to-peer (p2p) network is a way of structuring distributed applications such that the individual nodes have symmetric roles. Peer-to-peer network having no any hierarchy that means all peers are equal and no administrator responsible for the network. There is a several kinds of attacks in peer-to-peer network. In Sybil attack, Attacker create Fake Identities on p2p network either to gain better reputation or increase download capabilities or take entire control over network. A faulty node may present multiple identities to a peer-to-peer network and then after becoming part of the p2p network and act maliciously. By multiple identities, the faulty node can control the network substantially.
