The Copyright Crusade
The Copyright Crusade Abstract During the winter and spring of 2001, the author, chief technology officer in Viant's media and entertainment practice, led an extensive inqUiry to assess the potential impact of extant Internet file-sharing capabilities on the business models of copyright owners and holders. During the course of this project he and his associates explored the tensions that exist or may soon exist among peer-to-peer start-ups, "pirates" and "hackers," intellectual property companies, established media channels, and unwitting consumers caught in the middle. This research report gives the context for the battleground that has emerged, and calls upon the players to consider new, productive solutions and business models that support profitable, legal access to intellectual property via digital media. by Andrew C Frank. eTO [email protected] Viant Media and Entertainment Reinhold Bel/tIer [email protected] Aaron Markham [email protected] assisted by Bmre Forest ~ VI ANT 1 Call to Arms Well before the Internet. it was known that PCs connected to two-way public networks posed a problem for copyright holders. The problem first came to light when the Software Publishers Association (now the Software & Information Industry Association), with the backing of Microsoft and others, took on computer Bulletin Board System (BBS) operators in the late 1980s for facilitating trade in copyrighted computer software, making examples of "sysops" (as system operators were then known) by assisting the FBI in orchestrat ing raids on their homes. and taking similar legal action against institutional piracy in high profile U.S. businesses and universities.' At the same time. -
Botnets, Zombies, and Irc Security
Botnets 1 BOTNETS, ZOMBIES, AND IRC SECURITY Investigating Botnets, Zombies, and IRC Security Seth Thigpen East Carolina University Botnets 2 Abstract The Internet has many aspects that make it ideal for communication and commerce. It makes selling products and services possible without the need for the consumer to set foot outside his door. It allows people from opposite ends of the earth to collaborate on research, product development, and casual conversation. Internet relay chat (IRC) has made it possible for ordinary people to meet and exchange ideas. It also, however, continues to aid in the spread of malicious activity through botnets, zombies, and Trojans. Hackers have used IRC to engage in identity theft, sending spam, and controlling compromised computers. Through the use of carefully engineered scripts and programs, hackers can use IRC as a centralized location to launch DDoS attacks and infect computers with robots to effectively take advantage of unsuspecting targets. Hackers are using zombie armies for their personal gain. One can even purchase these armies via the Internet black market. Thwarting these attacks and promoting security awareness begins with understanding exactly what botnets and zombies are and how to tighten security in IRC clients. Botnets 3 Investigating Botnets, Zombies, and IRC Security Introduction The Internet has become a vast, complex conduit of information exchange. Many different tools exist that enable Internet users to communicate effectively and efficiently. Some of these tools have been developed in such a way that allows hackers with malicious intent to take advantage of other Internet users. Hackers have continued to create tools to aid them in their endeavors. -

Analysis of Internet Relay Chat Usage by Ddos Zombies
Stéphane Racine - Analysis of Internet Relay Chat Usage by DDoS Zombies Master’s Thesis MA-2004-01 October 2003 - April 2004 - Tutor: Thomas Dübendorfer - Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Bernhard Plattner - 26.4.2004 Abstract This report gives an introduction to “Internet Relay Chat” (IRC), a popular chatting system, discusses the misuse of IRC to launch and control “Dis- tributed Denial-of-Service” (DDoS) attacks and finally proposes methods for detecting the preparation of such IRC-based DDoS attacks. This detection is based on the analysis of Cisco NetFlow data, in other words, recorded network traffic with highly reduced information content. Die hier vorliegende Dokumentation liefert eine Einfuhrung¨ in“Internet Relay Chat” (IRC), ein weit verbreitetes Chatsystem, bespricht einige der uber¨ IRC gesteuerten “Distributed Denial-of-Service”-Attacken (DDoS-Attacken) und schl¨agt schliesslich Methoden zur Fruherkennung¨ der Vorbereitung solcher IRC-basierten DDoS-Attacken vor. Wesentlich dabei ist, dass die Erkennung aufgrund von Cisco NetFlow Daten geschieht, also aufgezeichnetem Netz- werkverkehr mit sehr stark reduziertem Informationsgehalt. Preface During my studies I attended a lot of different and interesting courses, but the two ones which attracted my attention most were called “Communica- tion Networks” and “Practical IT Security”, both taught at the Computer Engineering and Networks Laboratory (TIK) of the ETH Zurich. Accordingly to my interests and the various possibilities for student the- ses I decided to write my thesis at TIK. In the context of the DDoSVax project [1] I focused my work on the “Analysis of Internet Relay Chat Usage by DDoS Zombies”. The following chapter-by-chapter text organisation gives a short overview over this Master’s Thesis documentation: • Chapter 1 introduces the topic, motivates the work and formulates the Master’s Thesis task. -

Reading or hearing about different entities and organizations getting exploited with a hilarious twist is my idea of the perfect read.” -beerfuck It was a late summer night, sometime in the mid 1990s. Dressed in dark clothes, backpack slung over my shoulder, I snuck out the window of my bedroom. From my back yard I headed across town to my favorite rooftop, the high one with easy access to a building's worth of telephone lines belonging to businesses which had closed and emptied for the day. There was a convenient fire escape reaching from the ground straight up to the roof, and no nosy neighbors anywhere within view. I reached the roof, hooked my cheap plastic phone up by starlight, and dialed a string of digits I knew by heart. -
