Norbits Hackers Threaten to Release User Info

Written by Ernesto on September 18, 2008 

Norbits, the largest Norwegian BitTorrent tracker is going through some rough times. For several days now, the site has been offline due to a DDoS attack. The site has allegedly been hacked by a group called MORRADi, which is threatening to publish all IPs and more information on the users, unless the tracker is closed.

norbits down hackedDDoS attacks are not an unusual event for many private BitTorrent trackers. Although they are sometimes used as an excuse for server issues, most of the larger trackers have been subject to such attacks at least once.

Norbits is one of these trackers, a medium sized community with over 10,000 members, most of them from Norway. Norbits has suffered downtime because of DDoS attacks before, but this time the threat may be more serious than that.

In an NFO file obtained by by IT-Avisen, a group called MORRADi takes responsibility for the attack on Norbits. “Once again we show our power! Once again we show your foolishness! This is not the first time we have done it, and it won’t be the last,” they write (translated).

“Enough is enough, you are becoming a real nuisance, and you are also a bunch of idiots that try to hide, so it’s high time we punish you! P2P is not something we want, when will you understand that? Do we have to take it as far as publishing your user database online?”

The message seems to suggest that “sceners” are behind the hack and the attacks, since they don’t want their releases shared on BitTorrent trackers. IT-Avisen journalist Trond Bie thinks this is plausible, as he told Dagbladet: “I know that there are people on the FTP scene that don’t like Norbits. It’s not improbable that such a group wanted to attack the servers. It’s happened before.” Whether the group actually has access to all the IPs, usernames and transfer logs of Norbits users remains unclear.

This would not be the first time that a private BitTorrent tracker has been hacked. Earlier this year the IP-addresses of seedboxes and of top-users on some of the larger private trackers leaked to BitTorrent. Nevertheless, this kind of information is useless to anti-piracy organizations, as it is impossible to verify whether it is legit or not.

Irony? What about using your (Scene) time fixing your own security?

LOL :D

simple solution, remove the group name from scene-releases..

Oh wow, look at me a big tough powerful scener. Im going to use my dads hard earnt internet connection from my basement to piss off a whole heap of my fellow countrymen, people that help me out in all my life every day.

Damn elitist dickheads. imagine for a second if you will, that your hydro-cooling system on your pimped out computer failed and you 600% overclocked deca-core cpu overheated and caught fire. Now imagine if the fire brigade decided that they werent going to put out that fire because they felt you werent as cool as them, and as a result your house burns down.

Now you have nowhere to live, and your dad doesnt feel he has anything left to live for because his wife died from severe burns that the paramedics couldnt be bothered looking after because she hadnt been to med school for 10 years, so wasnt worthy of their time.

fucking dickheads, get a life

what a bunch of douche nozzles.

I would like to know more about the reason WHY they want it down, Scene releases is no excuse, since its most likely someone inside the scene leaking.

It´s fake.
I have talked to the staff, and they say that it complete nonsense.

10 Sep 18, 2008 at 14:27 by zuza

What problem does the so called “scene” have? I don’t understand it. If the scene doesn’t want their releases on Bittorrent trackers they should not upload it, it’s not the admins who upload scene releases it’s the users, and somehow those releases get out of the scene, that’s it.

And for the sake of it, why do pirates fight each other now? I guess it’s within human nature …

Scenes behavior is embarrassing and childish (”Mommy they took my releases away”, … “don’t worry kid, nothing is lost, it’s the internet”).

11 Sep 18, 2008 at 14:28 by B0rg

This is sad. The scene used to be a good thing. They are at the root of all the piracy movement after all. I still want to believe that most of the sceners are good people and not jerks like these. Pirates should all band together, not fight each other.

12 Sep 18, 2008 at 14:31 by #YLS#

can someone explain this whole ’scene’ business… I love torrents and I know these scene guys are the ones who crack software etc. but why the hell do they care that badly if it gets passed along?

surely the point of proving you hacked something is better if people download anyways even if it’s not from their own FTP server

Simple (you could have figured it yourself if you used what passes for your brains). The more exposure they have, the more motivated the bad guys are to go after them.

Sceners can lick my ball sack, they arent needed. All they do is race for the ‘first’ release.. whoopdefuckin do… PATHETIC.

I dont give 2 shits about whos first, I can wait for the goddamn DVD to officialy come out, where it will then be ripped by countless others. Sceners are useless. (Except for game crackers).

Grow the fuck up and get a life faggots.

Norbits suck. Everytime some newspaper write about them they whine about their name being mentioned. Fucking hypocrits whining about everything. As if they thought nobody knew about them before they were written about.

Please, MORRADi, release the user info! Norbits are total crap.

@7

Do note that the Norbits staff denied that DDoS was the reason the site went offline last year as well. Don’t trust the Norbits staff.

Who cares? The users are in Norway.

Not only will no one get in trouble if their information is released, they wouldn’t be able to be prosecuted anyway - information retrieved in such a manner would not be permissible in a Norwegian court.

This is so ironic. I guess sceners need DRM now, to protect their releases.

22 Sep 18, 2008 at 15:43 by Yogi Bear

Mini guide on sceaners:

1. It’s a tight nit club that share for each others benefits
2. They use the collective power of the group to buy/crack stuff
3. They usually have some form of trust system
4. Leaking outside the trust circle results in being kicked from the group but figuring out who the leak is is difficult to proove
5. Most releases come from sceaners..not your average users, its like crack. If you stop the producers, the users can’t get hold of it. Which makes them a target for the authorities.
6. Your average user has little threat from the authorities, small threat, but not massive - a scener has a larger risk exposure. The more leaks - the bigger the problem they have.

Thats my mini guide to sceaners ;) from my understanding.

“Enough is enough, you are becoming a real nuisance, and you are also a bunch of idiots that try to hide”

The scene should finally start growing up. The last time I did some scene stuff with FTPs was in the mid-nineties. That’s soooo oldschool -and not in a good way. FTPs are one of the worst ways to distribute stuff especially if it’s hi-jacked sites or shit like that. Takes you a couple of hours to upload it all and then the site admin closes down your connections because he realized what you are doing … great system. The reason why the sceners are so pissed of is:

a) They can’t brag about what they’ve uploaded since everyone can have it and their name isn’t on the post anymore (and group tags are not enough)
b) Working a tracker and a swarm is much easier than doing all this conspirative FTP uploading business
c) What takes them a couple of days to spread to some people takes the P2P people a couple of hours to get it to hundreds of thousands, again, they can’t claim anything anymore and it’s a better way of doing it, more secure in a way too.

Curiously the scene is like the musig industry, they stick to an outdated model of operation and try to ram anyone else that is doing better than them into the ground. If necessary by force. Think about that for a while.

25 Sep 18, 2008 at 15:59 by Only Me

Nice guide Yogi Bear . . .
here’s my little guide to most (not all) sceners
1. Full of self importance
2. Bigots
3. Hypocrites
4. Spend too much time on pc, and won’t accept anybody else into the scene unless they give up their life and jack off the op’s in the gay IRC channels 24 hours a day

26 Sep 18, 2008 at 16:35 by theyrelethal

MORRADi should publish what they have on Torrentfreak owners as well. high time someone did it. Unmask the tracker clique, theyre the same eveywhere under different nicks.

27 Sep 18, 2008 at 16:45 by well...

1. Private trackers suck anyway
2. Private trackers suck anyway
3. Private trackers suck anyway
4. Norbits should stop crying and get proper security in place.
5. Sceners are a bunch of self important little pricks, nobody would even notice if they all suddenly died.

On to the next storm in a glass of water!

lol rock your a tard

most topsites have super fast connections (100mbit and up) much much faster than the bittorrent
also you dont have to upload anything which also makes it better than bit torrent, after topsite ftp’s comes usenet which again is a hell of alot faster than torrents. and both these services have alot more data than is available via public/private trackers.

go do some research

@22 r0ck: get a clue…

The scene isnt people going for crappy, slow as fuck pubstro’s - the adress off some bs website in plainview of everyone.

Its more typically, as mentioned, 100 Mb+ ftp servers with 2+ Tb of data … that’s an average sort of server, the good ones are 10’s of TB. Trust me, people who are sceners wont be posting on this blog. I’m not a scener.

“P2P is not something we want, when will you understand that?”

I’m sorry mighty elite sceners, but we don’t need your permission to share things :)

“can someone explain this whole ’scene’ business… I love torrents and I know these scene guys are the ones who crack software etc. but why the hell do they care that badly if it gets passed along?”

Just like the copyright lobby, these sceners seem to think that they own releases.

“5. Most releases come from sceaners..not your average users, its like crack. If you stop the producers, the users can’t get hold of it. Which makes them a target for the authorities.”

Only most new releases.

“lol rock your a tard”

“WITHOUT THE SCENE P2P WOULD BE DEAD IN A WEEK”

Not at all. There would be plenty less of the new pre-release stuff, but it would only be an inconvenience, not the death of P2P.

41 Sep 18, 2008 at 20:33 by Anonymous

It is a known fact, that the scene dislikes the p2p community in a whole due to them bringing too much public view into their world.

I do doubt that the scene is behind the hack and DDoS of a such small site. These are people who use as much security and anonmity online as possible, I seriously doubt they would bring more public view into their world by doing something like this.

For all of you, who choose to call scener’s idiots and faggots, among other things, I laugh at you, you’re all a bunch a fucking noobs. Go onto IRC to certain networks and talk shit about scener’s, I bet you won’t be able to use your internet connection for at least a week, since a majority of people associated with the scene have quite large personal botnets. Without these people, you wouldn’t have most of the releases you have at the time you do. They provide everything pre-retail. Would you rather come online and see 30+ releases of the same movie on the day it comes to retail. I rather have things beforehand, and also since scene rules requires quality releases. You all may talk shit on here at torrentfreak, but I doubt you’d talk shit directly, since we all know you download scene releases and do apperciate it all. So shut the fuck up, and move on. You must also remember, that lawmakers in several countries are trying to pass laws to criminalize filesharing, programs, and websites. When that happens I rather would like to still be able to download releases, but you ignorant people probably wouldn’t even know where to look.

and now for something completly different..

what IF this is one organized attack by people who want to harm both sides?

what IF few comments here that are anti-p2p and anti-scene are just from some organized people who are trying to start a fight when there isnt any…

what can all those fools do if any of average users doesnt reply in hear, instead, thinking a bit. just try to imagine, people who will not reply to all in rage, and that they would work together in making internet more free and helpful for all. imagine all of us making pressure to change outdated copyright law and changing corrupted governments. imagine that patents and all the wealth of this world are used for benefits of all men, not just few.

“I rather have things beforehand, and also since scene rules requires quality releases.”

And yet they still manage to release some rips that are out of sync, don’t play properly on stand-alone players, or have other problems. Yesterday I downloaded Done’s copy of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I discovered that the subs were way out of synx with the dialog. Not a big deal as I don’t need the subs, but you’d think someone would have bothered to check that before they uploaded it.

“Go onto IRC to certain networks and talk shit about scener’s, I bet you won’t be able to use your internet connection for at least a week, since a majority of people associated with the scene have quite large personal botnets.”

Why should I care about how big someone’s botnet is?

“Hey, don’t insult that guy - he can beat you up! Never mind that that means nothing at all!”

“Without these people, you wouldn’t have most of the releases you have at the time you do. They provide everything pre-retail.”

Yes, they are the main source of pre-release DVDs. It’s nice, but waiting two weeks isn’t too terrible, is it? And it doesn’t make their pathetic “OMGZ U STELS AUR RLS AN PUT IT ON P2P” mindset any less… Pathetic :)

We do appreciate the good sceners. There are plenty of them and I hope you know who you are. There are also plenty of idiots, too, that make it seem like all sceners are like that :(

“I rather have things beforehand, and also since scene rules requires quality releases.”

I’ve seen terrible scene releases and terrible P2P releases. Many sceners just want to be first, nothing else matters, certainly not quality.

“Not a big deal as I don’t need the subs, but you’d think someone would have bothered to check that before they uploaded it.”

On P2P, there’s nothing wrong with waiting a little bit to make sure your release is good. It doesn’t always work perfectly, but it’s better than the “FIRST FIRST FISRSTS IFSTISR OMGZ RACE I BET U EVAN IF MY RLZ IS SHIT” attitude of *some* sceners.

Wow… a non-existent scene group trying to expose a torrent tracker. Looks like some dumb kid got bored of playing World of Warcraft :P

There are some scene groups I respect, but MORRADI definitely won’t be one of them. I’ve never heard of them at all, never even seen the name, and none of the release sites have any info on them.

Like any good community, Norbits closes one day, another tracker will open five minutes later, maybe under a different name, maybe the same name.

Either way, MORRADI can go hump a dead moose.

MORRADi is legend already. A friend tells me that they’re everywhere now and keep changing names.

5. Most releases come from sceaners..not your average users

Correction, some releases come from the scene, certainly not most. Most content on bittorrent is user generated, not scene generated. If the scene was to vanish up its own arse tomorrow, it would’t change a damn thing. People would still upload their cd’s, which they do a better job of than the scene who are stuck at 192khz with mp3 and cant tag tracks for shit. People would still upload their dvd movies and probably do a damn site better job of that too becuase they are in no rush to compete and will get it right the first time around. People will still rip and crack games, not all cracks originate from within the scene, there are plenty of talented individuals around who are just as capable without all the drama. So whats left? crappy cams. Who gives a damn about those.

70 Sep 19, 2008 at 07:49 by bollocks

… morradi is “mommy” in Norse. It sounds to me like someone on the Anti-piracy side in their rant, in fact I didn’t even gather they were “scene”.

I never even met someone “scenic”, most folks I met in the reveng craft were laid back solo types with alot of patience and a desire to avoid attention.

73 Sep 19, 2008 at 09:13 by Fraser

Anyone making claims about the scene most likely isn’t part of it.

Groups don’t benefit in any way by doing what they do, it’s just a big game really - a contest to get the most releases, the fastest releases, the best sites and a reputation amongst their peers. A labour of love. P2P isn’t really any concern, it’s just an easy way for the less technically inclined to land the material they want.

In a way it’s a shame that P2P grew to the point it’s at today where every idiot can download whatever they want, it’s certainly attracted the attention of authorities but then the scene has been successful in dodging that attention since the 80s. Nobody can stop scene releases from appearing on trackers nor would any group care to - it’s impossible, releases are always going to filter down to the Average Joe and end up there so while a group might express a distaste for the average P2Per they’re not going to attack a tracker hosting one of their releases because it’s likely to be on a thousand other trackers at the same time with no centralised point of distribution.

MOSSADi, whoever they are, are likely just some kids trying to add a couple of inches to their e-penis, like most website hacking groups. Who cares if they release details of a trackers users? that’s freely available information and in no way incriminates anybody, they’re just trying to scare noobs who worry that HAXORS HAVE MY IP ADDRES.

Sounds like the ddosers are idiots with RIAA’s hands telling them what to do. Leave norbits alone..

MORRADi is (slightly insulting) slang for “your mother” in Norwegian, haha.

Who the fuck is MORRADi? Any one calling for a torrent site to be closed, and threatening to release details of it’s users is in the pocket of the American RIAA/MPAA. That means they have roots somewhere.

Let’s track em down and execute their families in front of them.

Respect to the Scene. This was not scene.

@30+31:
Well what you described is correct. I didn’t argue with the fact that the scene has nice equipment and lots of data. The problem here is: What good is that when it’s only a limited circle of people? And on top of that who cares if the servers have a 100Mbit connection to each other? Unless you have that darned thing sit in your basement or live in Sweden or something you won’t get that type of linespeed into your house and especially not up.

Since there are no statistics about this I would assume that there are at most a couple thousand members of “the scene” at any time. Enthusiasts that have the time, money and dedication to run something like that. Everyone else is excluded. It took me months to gain enough trust to do little stuff for them so you can’t tell me there are millions of sceners doing this every day.

And since it’s harder to get into the depths of the scene than into a lesbian bar wearing a shirt “Fuck You Bitch” the scene is pretty much a pre-release group with allures. They do some nice work alright but if you do work that other people can’t benefit from that’s basically useless. I don’t care if a couple dozen people can get stuff from their private servers pretty quickly if P2P does the same thing for much more people. I still prefer P2P and eventually all the releases come from the scene and end up on P2P so what’s the big deal?

They can’t feel like criminal masterminds anymore. So it gets boring and they hate that.

“i know a king of tracker… ….he gives me valuable advices.”

Thank-You for the new sig (minus the lame link). Now my old one is totally cancelled.

MORRADi is legend already. A friend tells me that they’re everywhere now and keep changing names.

” IMHO those guys do have a point and are playing fair. The issued a warning first.

I’m not from the scene but I learned to admire their hard work and discipline. These guys are underground heroes.

We torrenters are a passing fad and a noisy waste of space with no goals. :(”

Oh now I hates myself. Thanks a lot.

“all of these punks on bit torrent need to realize that these pre’s they get are ALL pretty much from the scene!”

Pre releases are mostly from the scene, but most stuff on P2P is not from the scene. A P2Per can record a TV show just as well as a scener - possibly even better, because they don’t have to worry about being first.

“I still prefer P2P and eventually all the releases come from the scene and end up on P2P so what’s the big deal?”

most popular scene releases are on P2P within minutes :)

If they really are scene folks, how fucking pathetic. The purpose of p2p is to SHARE. If you don’t want to share it, DON’T FUCKING RELEASE IT.

83 Sep 19, 2008 at 23:18 by Norm

Scene people ought to know realize where their hierarchy came from. The reason is was “elite” to be in the scene was because the old scene ran on BBS’s. They had limited bandwidth and only a few phone lines, so if a few people were downloading releases, others could not access it. That’s why BBS’s with scene stuff were limited only to people who would help out by contributing their own cracked software. But now with p2p, we can share with everyone, and not lose any bandwidth. Why can’t you see that scene? p2p is your friend.

Hopefully norbits will say this in response.
“You guys are assholes, plain and simple. Go take their ip’s since that will NEVER hold up in court due to illegally obtained info.”

Since it won’t hold up, let them and let norbits say fuck off to the “hakcers” who appreantly say that p2p is bad.

FUCK YOU MORRADi

My friend recommended me a very interesting place ___ “”" BillionaireCupid.com “”" ___ It’s where wealthy singles looking for younger unattached people to

enjoy their wealthy lifestyle with.

What you scene haters don’t get when talking about how easy it is to rip a DVD… There’s more to the scene than just TV rips.

When was the last time you cracked a copy protection like Securom?
You can’t, that’s the point. You’ll have to wait for a real scener to do the work for you!

I hope scene groups will stop releasing any games and software for a few months. P2P would dry out immediately.
Where would you get your cracked Crysis from if there was no scene?

“I hope scene groups will stop releasing any games and software for a few months. P2P would dry out immediately.”

That’s terribly stupid to say. It’s only most of the pre-release stuff that is from the scene. Most other stuff isn’t.

“Where would you get your cracked Crysis from if there was no scene?”

I don’t play Crysis, I don’t care :) People who crack it deserve respect anyway, but not people who try to act like elite sceners by saying that everything on P2P is scene are not worthy of respect.

Hi webmaster!

Copying music, movies, and apps. WinDAC/EAC/dbpoweramp, dvddecrypter, alcohol. So easy, a toddler could do it. When you’re cracking things like UC, Phrozen, and FFF, let us know. Until then, scene tards, you’ve been replaced by children. Copying stuff takes no talent, no skill. You’ve done nothing worth respect. Go ahead, stop releasing those pres. Allow a child to release proper high quality rips instead.

Only groups writing working cracks, keygens, and validators have earned respect, along with the groups that have been in business since before P2P (RNS etc).

Oh yeah, NIN Ghosts, brought to you by P2P, not scene.

91 Sep 24, 2008 at 17:40 by Caeer

I can’t wait for all those flaming sceners to start crying over to few releases.

” Sceners can lick my ball sack, they arent needed. All they do is race for the ‘first’ release.. whoopdefuckin do… PATHETIC.

I dont give 2 shits about whos first, I can wait for the goddamn DVD to officialy come out, where it will then be ripped by countless others. Sceners are useless. (Except for game crackers).

Grow the fuck up and get a life faggots.”

What this person doesn’t realize is that the pirated version of Microsoft Office he is running is probably reverse engineered by people from the scene. Without the scene, there wouldn’t be any pirated programs. I agree that it’s pretty useless to race each other for movies, same goes for programs. However, reverse engineering is, unless what most of you realize, a lot of work. You need to know what you are doing, or you’ll never crack it. So, at least some kudos to sceners.

I don’t agree with DDoSing a random p2p tracker though. Thats the wrong way to get across the message!
