MediaDefender Anti-Piracy Tools Leaked
Written by Ernesto on September 20, 2007The MediaDefender-Defenders have released the source code for the “trapping” and decoy software that MediaDefender uses to spread fake files on P2P networks.
Similar to the previously released e-mails, tracking database and phone call this leak is also spread by the group that goes by the name “MediaDefender-Defenders“. In the .nfo that was posted with the torrent we read:
The source is complete for their operations regarding Kazaa, bittorrent, gnutella etc. This system is now released for the public in order to identify the decoys they set up. A special thanks to the MD employee that gave this to us.
It appears that this leak was not collected from the e-mails. The MD-Defenders themselves claim that a MD employee handed over the files to them, but this hasn’t be verified by other sources at this point.
This leak contains a wealth of information and seriously harm MediaDefender’s future operations. BitTorrent tracker owners and other admins who are involved in managing P2P networks can utilize the leaked information to brace themselves against companies like MediaDefender, who try to pollute their networks with fake files.
From the leak it seems that MediaDefender is active on virtually every P2P network, including Usenet.
Not surprisingly, most applications are dedicated to BitTorrent, which is probably their main target because of its popularity. Application names BTPoster, BTSeedInflator, BTDecoyClient and BTInterdictor make it quite obvious what they are supposed to do.
At this point it is still unclear who the MediaDefender-Defenders are and how they got their hands on all this information. MediaDefender has announced that the FBI will be investigating the source of the leaks.
To be continued?

Would you mind taking a scan around the MD office (if you have one) with a video camera and posting it on the internet so we can see your expressions to the news of the leak, even if it is a bit late? We are the reason you guys have (had?) a job, we don’t ask for any compensation, just this :D
how can we be sure that you are Octavio Herrera?
someone impersonating you in these comments might well be happening.

I am the real whatever his (my?) name is!
I’m Octavio!
[quote comment="169614"]I’m Octavio![/quote]
No, he’s Octavio!
No! I’m Octavio!
And I’m Ivan Kwok, the guy responsible for this whole mess. :) ebert sux !
Is it just me, or are these guys as dumb as a box of rocks?
I have been glued to this stuff since Saturday. I frankly can’t believe it.
What gets me is, as riveting as this leak is, the level of ignorance inside media defender and their practices is quite simply mind blowing.
and no, I am Octavio.
It seems that the sources are quite old, the files have been last modified about a year ago.
I’d hoped to learn what BT interdiction does, but there’s very little code in BTInterdictor, which in my opinion doesn’t really do anything.
Has anybody checked this out yet ?
No, I am Spar…er…Octavio!
Is that really you Octavio?
If it is, please call Mom. She hasn’t heard from you for three weeks and needs to know if you’re coming to Susan’s birthday party.
Thanks,
Dad
No, I’m the real Octavio Herrera and so’s my wife.
Hey MD-D guys, if you are reading this - the current, uptodate version of BTInterdictior sources is needed ! :)
FBI should be investigating the obvious shady corperation MediaDefender and not the ones exposing their filth!
