What ever happened with this? The website seems to be down. Did the code ever get released?

I honestly thought this was the typical process the “antis” did to get their lawsuits rounded up in the first place…..

All it takes is the one handshake, and the download initializing (downloading from the peer) – and you’ve been verified as a “distributor” (whether as a seed or peer).

Only this takes it a little further to drown the peer deeper in water, cause they can go “oh my little tool told me you had the WHOLE file….so I can fine you more money”

I understand the whole possibility of spoofed IPs, and such, disconnected hosts (I used to see torrent connection attempts in my firewall up to 30 minutes! after closing my client) – but I don’t understand the whole “spoofed IP” deal…..the way the protocol works, if you give the tracker a wrong IP address – nobody will be home, and you don’t get your goodies….I’d consider that like virtual ding-dong-ditch…..Ding Dong Ditch http://msgboard.snopes.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=28;t=001012;p=1 lol

The whole concept of Internet when it started was for it to be open to use for anyone. Securing the Internet will only lead to contra measures as we see more and more. Securing your end is completely up to you, or securing your traffic. What the governments are trying to do are just going ways around to protect their income, taxes. Completely against free speech and civil rights whom are forfathers faught and won for us. LiteHackers has refreshening objective views and so don’t crack down on him/her. As a commercial system developer, I would love to even see more laws and restrictions on how to illegaly download mine or any commercial software, but from a personal perspective, my commercial rights has to forfit in favour to my personal freedom, even if it means I loose money. It’s up to me to protect my own property with encryption and safe means of distribution. This should be one of the ground rules for intellectual properties. I don’t have any qualms about the person cracking/distributing the cracked software goes to jail for an extended period of time though, but the receiver should be held unresponsible. Also, should libraries all around the world be held responsible for lending out books? Should the lender be prosecuted for just reading that book. The world have turned up side down in pursuit of money, governments, companies and lobby fractions. Like a book, if software, DVD/BR movies, music were fair priced, I think most would like to have a genuine copy, except those who would always prey on others work and efforts to make all our lives more fun and entertaining.

Anyone trying to download behind a firewall is a fool because it is likely far more secure to use UDP rather than TCP, and it probably takes longer to download if you don’t upload, which is more risky!

BitAudit: The Tool You Don’t Want Anti-Pirates To Have…

BitAudit is by far the most elaborate tool to track communications between BitTorrent users we’ve seen to date. Although its creator built the application to give BitTorrent users insight into the inner workings of the protocol and the public nature …

I don’t see why so many people are against opening the source of this program.

I entirely agree with #22 (Anonymous) – if this coder doesn’t release it publicly, he might be asked to privately release it to the copyright holders and then be bound under law not to release it to the public for fear of people inventing more secure methods of transfer that they can’t crack.

This still doesnt help all the open networks out there that can be accessed at any apartment building. I do not know how so amny are open but they certainly are. Consumers still have no idea how to secure their wireless networks. Until it becomes PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE, I dont know how anyone can be accused of filesharing. I can go to my “local” newspaper online classifieds and buy wireless routers for $25 and hook them up and there is no protection on alot of them. So how would the average consumer know. Hell they are happy they can sit down with their laptop and use the damn things, let alone know how to secure them. I would think if a judge actually thought this through, they probably have neighbors and family with open networks. Its just not PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE. Now that almost every phone and gaming console is wirless, theres more and more demand for routers. They are everywhere!!
