  • Combining Bittorrent with Darknets for P2P Privacy
    Combining Bittorrent with Darknets for P2P privacy Öznur Altintas Niclas Axelsson Abstract Over the last few years, traditional downloading of programs and application from a website has been replaced by another medium - peer to peer file sharing networks and programs. Peer- to-peer sharing has grown to tremendous level with many networks having more then millions of users to share softwareʼs, music files, videos and programs etc. However, this rapid growth leaves privacy concerns in its awake. P2P applications disable clients to limit the sharing of documents to a specific set of users and maintain their anonymity. Using P2P applications like BitTorrent exposes clientsʼ information to the other people. OneSwarm is designed to overcome this privacy problem. OneSwarm is a new P2P data sharing system that provides users with explicit, configurable control over their data. In this report, we will discuss briefly Darknets and privacy terms, and mainly how OneSwarm solves privacy problem while providing good performance. Introduction For a better understanding of this report, we begin with the explanation of some terms such as Darknets and privacy and brief background information underlies the idea of OneSwarm. Darknet—a collection of networks and technologies used to share digital content. The darknet is not a separate physical network but an application and protocol layer riding on existing networks. Examples of Darknets are peer-to-peer file sharing, CD and DVD copying and key or password sharing on email and newsgroups. When used to describe a file sharing network, the term is often used as a synonym for "friend-to-friend", both describing networks where direct connections are only established between trusted friends.

In addition, large-scale cyber attacks have enormously ma- tured and became capable to generate, in a prompt manner, significant interruptions and damage to Internet resources and infrastructure. Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are perhaps the most prominent and severe types of such large-scale cyber attacks. Furthermore, the existence of widely available encryption and anonymity techniques greatly increases the difficulty of the surveillance and investigation of cyber attacks. In this context, the availability of relevant cyber monitoring is of paramount im- portance.

  • Searching for Malware in Bittorrent∗
    Searching for Malware in BitTorrent∗ Andrew D. Berns and Eunjin (EJ) Jung April 24, 2008 Abstract One of the most widely publicized aspects of computer security has been the presence and propagation of malware. Malware has adapted to many different changing technologies, in- cluding recently-popular P2P systems. While previous work has examined P2P networks and protocols like KaZaA and Gnutella for malware, little has been done so far that examines BitTor- rent. This project explored BitTorrent for the presence of malware, and discovered a significant portion of malware in the downloaded file set. Statistics on torrents infected with malware were gathered and analyzed to find patterns that are helpful in creating basic filtering heuristics. While these heuristics may work in simple cases, several easy ways they can be defeated were found. 1 Introduction Recently, peer-to-peer networks have emerged as a popular paradigm for Internet applications. In fact, a study in 2005 estimated that P2P traffic accounted for around 70% of all traffic on the Internet [2]. P2P technology is finding new applications as it grows, including voice-over-IP systems and streaming video delivery. While P2P has found several different uses, perhaps the most widely-known use is for file sharing. One concern with P2P file sharing is that it can be used to distribute malware (malicious software, such as worms, viruses, and rootkits). On the one hand, users have access to huge amounts of data, while on the other hand, this data can easily be tainted with viruses, worms, and other forms of malware. An important consideration, then, is if the concern about malware in P2P networks is warranted, and if it is, are there ways to protect a computer and minimize the risk of malware infection from P2P networks.

  • Detecting Pedophile Activity in Bittorrent Networks
    Detecting Pedophile Activity in BitTorrent Networks Moshe Rutgaizer, Yuval Shavitt, Omer Vertman, and Noa Zilberman School of Electrical Engineering, Tel-Aviv University, Israel Abstract. The wide spread of Peer-to-Peer networks makes multime- dia files available to users all around the world. However, Peer-to-Peer networks are often used to spread illegal material, while keeping the source of the data and the acquiring users anonymous. In this paper we analyze activity measurements in the BitTorrent network and examine child sex abuse activity through the Mininova web portal. We detect and characterize pedophilic material in the network, and also analyze differ- ent aspects of the abusers activity. We hope our results will help law enforcement teams detecting child molesters and tracking them down earlier. 1 Introduction Peer-to-peer networks are being widely used around the world by millions of users for sharing content. The anonymity provided by these networks makes them prone to sharing illegal contents, from simple copyright protected material to highly dangerous material, as will be discussed next. The BitTorrent file sharing network was responsible for 27% to 55% of in- ternet traffic (depending on geographic location) in 2009 [13]. The BitTorrent protocol allows to download large files without loading a single source computer, rather the downloading users join a group of hosts that download and upload from each other, simultaneously. Every BitTorrent file is uniquely defined by a descriptor file called a torrent, which is distributed via email or http websites. This torrent file allows the downloading and uploading users, called leechers and seeders, to share the content file.

  • A Torrent of Copyright Infringement? Liability for Bittorrent File-Sharers and File-Sharing Facilitators Under Current and Proposed Canadian Copyright Law
    A Torrent of Copyright Infringement? Liability for BitTorrent File-Sharers and File-Sharing Facilitators Under Current and Proposed Canadian Copyright Law Allen Mendelsohn Faculty of Law McGill University Montreal August 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Laws (LL.M.) © Allen Mendelsohn 2010 ABSTRACT [Le résumé français suit l'anglais.] BitTorrent has become the primary means to share large files (movies, television shows, and music) over the internet. Canadian copyright law and jurisprudence have not kept pace with technology, and as a result there is no definitive pronouncement on the liability for copyright infringement of BitTorrent file- sharers, i.e. users, and file-sharing facilitators, i.e. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and torrent search engines. Extrapolating from existing law and Canadian and foreign jurisprudence, I conclude that: (i) BitTorrent file-sharers are liable although there may be situations where fair dealing could apply; (ii) it may be possible to show ISPs are liable based on certain findings of fact; and (iii) torrent search engines should not be liable for infringement. There have been three successive attempts to reform copyright law that have addressed internet issues generally and file-sharing in particular. Under the most recent attempt, Bill C-32, file-sharers would be liable under the new ―making available‖ right, and file- sharing facilitators could be liable under the new ―enabling‖ concept of secondary infringement introduced with the bill. RÉSUMÉ BitTorrent est devenu le principal moyen de partager des fichiers volumineux (films, émissions de télévision et musique) sur Internet.

  • Quantifying the Heterogeneous Effects of Piracy on the Demand for Movies
    Quantifying the Heterogeneous Effects of Piracy on the Demand for Movies Zhuang Liu∗ University of Western Ontario February 10, 2019 Latest Version: http://publish.uwo.ca/~zliu328/jobmarketpaper.pdf Abstract The debate on digital piracy has attracted significant public attention. An accurate estimate of the loss due to piracy relies crucially on correctly identi- fying the substitution between pirated and paid consumption. Using a novel dataset of weekly piracy downloads collected from the BitTorrent network, I estimate a random-coefficient logit demand model of movies to quantify the effect of movie piracy on movie revenue from two distribution channels: box office and DVD sales. Counterfactual results reveal that digital piracy has het- erogeneous effects on different channels of sales. When all piracy is removed, US box office revenue will only increase by 2.71% ($ 231 million) while US DVD sales will increase by 36% ($ 527 million) over 40 weeks in 2015. In addition, the effects on sales differ substantially by quality of pirated videos. I find strong evidence that one movie's piracy have negative indirect effects on other movie's revenue. Decomposition exercises show that the magnitude of piracy's indirect effects is much larger than the direct effects on its own rev- enue. Lastly, I allow piracy to have potentially positive effects on sales through word of mouth (WOM). The positive WOM effects from all pirated consump- tion have relatively moderate contributions to the industry revenue amounted to $ 68.7 million over 40 weeks in 2015. ∗This paper was previously titled \A Structural Model of Movie Piracy with Word-of-mouth", \Estimating the Effects of fil-sharing on Movie Box office".

  • Library Genesis and Sci-Hub
    In solidarity with Library Genesis and Sci-Hub In Antoine de Saint Exupéry's tale the Little Prince meets a businessman who accumulates stars with the sole purpose of being able to buy more stars. The Little Prince is perplexed. He owns only a flower, which he waters every day. Three volcanoes, which he cleans every week. "It is of some use to my volcanoes, and it is of some use to my flower, that I own them," he says, "but you are of no use to the stars that you own". There are many businessmen who own knowledge today. Consider Elsevier, the largest scholarly publisher, whose 37% profit margin1 stands in sharp contrast to the rising fees, expanding student loan debt and poverty-level wages for adjunct faculty. Elsevier owns some of the largest databases of academic material, which are licensed at prices so scandalously high that even Harvard, the richest university of the global north, has complained that it cannot afford them any longer. Robert Darnton, the past director of Harvard Library, says "We faculty do the research, write the papers, referee papers by other researchers, serve on editorial boards, all of it for free … and then we buy back the results of our labour at outrageous prices."2 For all the work supported by public money benefiting scholarly publishers, particularly the peer review that grounds their legitimacy, journal articles are priced such that they prohibit access to science to many academics - and all non- academics - across the world, and render it a token of privilege.3 Elsevier has recently filed a copyright infringement suit in New York against Science Hub and Library Genesis claiming millions of dollars in damages.4 This has come as a big blow, not just to the administrators of the websites but also to thousands of researchers around the world for whom these sites are the only viable source of academic materials.

  • The Darknet and the Future of Content Distribution
    The Darknet and the Future of Content Distribution Peter Biddle, Paul England, Marcus Peinado, and Bryan Willman Microsoft Corporation1 Abstract We investigate the darknet – a collection of networks and technologies used to share digital content. The darknet is not a separate physical network but an application and protocol layer riding on existing networks. Examples of darknets are peer-to-peer file sharing, CD and DVD copying, and key or password sharing on email and newsgroups. The last few years have seen vast increases in the darknet’s aggregate bandwidth, reliability, usability, size of shared library, and availability of search engines. In this paper we categorize and analyze existing and future darknets, from both the technical and legal perspectives. We speculate that there will be short-term impediments to the effectiveness of the darknet as a distribution mechanism, but ultimately the darknet-genie will not be put back into the bottle. In view of this hypothesis, we examine the relevance of content protection and content distribution architectures. 1 Introduction People have always copied things. In the past, most items of value were physical objects. Patent law and economies of scale meant that small scale copying of physical objects was usually uneconomic, and large-scale copying (if it infringed) was stoppable using policemen and courts. Today, things of value are increasingly less tangible: often they are just bits and bytes or can be accurately represented as bits and bytes. The widespread deployment of packet-switched networks and the huge advances in computers and codec-technologies has made it feasible (and indeed attractive) to deliver such digital works over the Internet.
