		<description>Dear Sirs, 
I am Ethan Suplee , I am new to this forum. I didn&#039;t find relevant 
thread to post this, and my apologies, if I posted inappropriately, 
moderators, please move this post accordingly. 
Few months ago, I came across information about 
investment programs, that are not readily available to the public. The profit percent, which participants could 
receive by joining in such private clubs, seemed 
unrealistically high at 
first, but as I learned more about them, I made my 
choice. Right now, I consider 
myself as the successful 
investor. To 
share my findings,  I 
set up the blog, which 
shows detailed information 
about investment 
programs. To see my 
blog, &lt;a href=&quot;http://WWW.GATEHYIP.COM&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here is the link&lt;/a&gt;. 
I would would be glad to receive 
everyone&#039;s feedbacks.</description>

		<description>To really screw up poisoning attempts, a protocol where files are shared in small chunks using two (or more) different hashes on each chunk would be useful.

Generating chunks which successfully spoof one of the hashes is one thing, generating chunks which spoof two different hash algorythms simultaneously is quite another.

Would it even be possible in theory to generate a chunk which successfully spoofs two different hashes, which isn&#039;t identical to the genuine chunk?  If it was, I&#039;m sure it would be computationally very expensive.

And if it was possible, this arms race would be very much in favor of the P2Pers because it would be much easier to add a third or fourth hash than design an algorthym which can simultaneously spoof multiple hashes.</description>

		<description>LOL  stop 99% 

regardless of if the tech would or not, are they actually going to sit around and make copies of every archive and raw files out there throughout multiple p2p networks??

its so ridiculous that i&#039;m laughing now, imagine the man power it would take to infiltrate the scene and try to keep up with millions of releases 

not to mention the hypocrosy of downloading the content themselves just to corrupt it</description>

		<description>To clarify spoofing a SHA1 checksum: I was referring to the cryptologist&#039;s definition of &quot;cracked&quot; in the context of hash functions, i.e. that the attack takes less time than the trivial brute-force. This definition doesn&#039;t require that the attack could be performed in practice before humanity&#039;s sand runs out.

In practice naming a file by its content hash has far, far less of a chance of collision than naming them by hand. There&#039;s no need to beef up the torrent metafile format just yet.</description>

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;174235&quot;]The the addition of &#039;salt&#039; to such hashes would make this worthless, right?

The rainbow tables stop working, and pretty much results in this product no longer functioning, right?

I am very worried about this, because people who write P2P code are stupid and wouldn&#039;t be able to implement that in a couple hours.  God forbid people  be required to update their client.[/quote]

Dude, coming up with rainbow tables for just one block size of BT SHA1 hashes would require, um... 2^160 slots, and then a block size&#039;s worth of data for each. There&#039;s not going to be enough mass storage space for that kind of data on the Earth all together for the next, what, fifty years? Make that 150 years to be safe.

Now, there are algorithms out there that can be used to spoof a SHA1 checksum... but most of them rely on being able to add data at the end of the &quot;message&quot;, i.e. that the checksum is computed over a section that is different from the content. Spoofing an arbitrary message with a fixed length is exponential piles harder.

Viralg&#039;s shit was pertinent back in 2002 or so, when naÃ¯ve P2P protocols used a per-file hash. So you could send null blocks and they&#039;d propagate just like valid blocks. This hasn&#039;t been the case for even ed2k in years.

Even in the company&#039;s youth we got a hearty giggle from their marketing. &quot;Secret virtual algorithm&quot;. That&#039;s conman speak for &quot;we haven&#039;t got anything -algorithm&quot;. But hey, the media companies will pay about anyone for a little &quot;protection&quot;, so why not exploit that... it just pisses me off that they got a state-funded award for that horsecrap.</description>

		<description>If anyone isn&#039;t paying attention to history.  If they completely block off, or make Torrents useless.  Other forms of P2P would arise, often being better and more efficient than the previous.

I think it would be interesting to make a complete P2P webpage server, making an internet, within an internet.  (Except each home user could have their own web page, searchable by P2P browsers.)</description>

The rainbow tables stop working, and pretty much results in this product no longer functioning, right?

I am very worried about this, because people who write P2P code are stupid and wouldn&#039;t be able to implement that in a couple hours.  God forbid people  be required to update their client.</description>

		<description>Yes it is a decimal point, but in many countries that is used as a demarkation. In Mexico and Central and Southern America, 500.000 equals US 500,000.

If there are 3 zeros after a period, assume it&#039;s foreign numbering.</description>

		<description>Maybe the studios should consider that the anti-p2p efforts of MediaDefender are a waste of time and money. MediaDefender have been running for years. They don&#039;t halt the spread. Despite their efforts they don&#039;t slow it either. Stuff spreads and spreads fast. Now MediaDefender have been linked to illegal practices like DDOS and spreading illegal porn. Let&#039;s not forget their incompetent security either. They&#039;re a waste of money.

Isn&#039;t it time the MPAA took a step back and found another way? It&#039;ll be an industry shakeup, but one is overdue.

Same for the RIAA. Make stuff cheap, and people won&#039;t copy. It&#039;s easy, and you&#039;d make lots on the volumes. Apple have already proven the viability of online selling, but they&#039;re still too expensive especially when format shifting is involved.

The both of you: make stuff cheap and legal and people will buy it.</description>

		<description>In the early eDonkey period, these poisoners could be very effective at stopping the spread of a targeted file when ed2k hashed 9500KB blocks - 30 times the size of the current hashed block. 

Maybe because movies can take a long time to download in ed2k, these companies would sabotage the download without first checking to see if it was the actual film they were contracted for. There were a few legitimate downloads that got nuked this way, like whenever someone released an ancient B&amp;W original of a movie at the same time as the &#039;hot&#039; movie comes out (the Fast and the Furious in 2002 comes to mind) since these companies will attack everything they find with a similar-sounding name.</description>

		<description>Uh okay... I hate to be the one to break it to you folks, but Bittorrents uses SHA1 hashes.  The odds of finding a collisions with the same length are zero. 

It is possible to find a collision in 2^63 with SHA1, but that means this software is going to have to try every single combination in 2^63, or 1 in 9,223,372,036,854,775,808.  You can read more about this at:
http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2927

This attack the company is talking about is because older filesharing systems used much weaker hashes.  BT just isn&#039;t going to fall victim to this type of attack.  Total snake oil.


Also, for a bunch of people going to a site called &#039;torrentfreak&#039; - you could all do yourself a favor and read up on the protocol specification:
http://www.bittorrent.org/protocol.html

Thanks!</description>

Of course to corrupt lots of files, you need lots of presence on file-sharing networks (servers, accounts, the whole MediaDefender-style setup) so the $1m tag is just the tip of an enormous iceberg.

Nahh, they give another example on the auction site:

		<description>My point wasn&#039;t that it can&#039;t be defeated, it was more that the quote above is wrong.
Current clients cannot mark a piece with a matching size and hash as invalid and so will not drop a connection from that peer.

The pieces may be hard to generate, but if you can generate them as claimed by viralg, your client will not be banned by other peers.
It only gets banned when sending pieces whose hash does not match (for which you don&#039;t need these patents :P )

I like your idea for extra hashes though.</description>

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;173187&quot;]If someone was to create a piece with a valid hash and start sending it out, the client would not be able to tell whether it was a valid piece or not.
The only information they have about the piece is its final hash, and as long as that matches what is listed in the torrent file it&#039;s considered valid.[/quote]
The problem is that the piece has to be the equal length and have a specific hash.. such a fake piece isn&#039;t easy to generate
[quote comment=&quot;173187&quot;]Clients drop connections from peers where the pieces they&#039;re sending do not match that hash. A system aimed at generating fake pieces with valid hashes will have no problems with this at all.[/quote]
Even if a falsely-valid piece gets into a movie it will be only a small gap in the movie.

One can also defend against that by adding hashes for the whole file or for bigger blocks in the file to the  torrent (that would require an extension to the .torrent-file specification)
That would make an attack even more difficult, because on has to create a piece of a fixed length wich has a given hash and together with some other given data another given hash.

So even if they can generate fake-pieces the BitTorrent-Hydra can adapt fast :)

		<description>[quote]This means you can still exploit the weakness in the protocol by sending bad data. However, clients are now generally so smart that they only accept maximum 1 fake 1-4MB block from an IP address.[/quote]

Clients drop connections from peers where the pieces they&#039;re sending do not match that hash. A system aimed at generating fake pieces with valid hashes will have no problems with this at all.</description>
