Being tracked by anti-piracy organizations and receiving infringement
notices on file-sharing networks is becoming more common.
A security
project manager has just released a short video showing how it’s done.
A common question from BitTorrent users is how
anti-p2p outfits trace
and trace file-sharers in order to send infringement notices. We’ve
reported on one techniquein the past and
now, thanks to Dan Morrill, a
Security Project Manager with VMC Consulting in Redmond Washington, we
have a short video illustrating
another basic technique which is easy
to understand.
Dan’s example involves him downloading a large file with the popular
Azureus client,
while giving a commentary on the various types of
information offered by the client, a brief overview of how BitTorrent
works, how it’s
possible to be tracked and how the gathered
information could be processed. He also touches on anonymity and the
use of blocklists.
