And “Fall” of the Mp3scene: a Global and Virtual Organization The “rise” and “fall” of the MP3scene: A Global and Virtual Organization An organizational, social relational and technological analysis Research thesis June 2009 Student: Jan Adriaan van der Wal Study: Information Science Mentor: dr. Ard Huizing Abstract. The scene, a synonym for the ‘Warez’1 scene, is a global and virtual organization where people copy, crack and distribute copyrighted digital material. The scene is split up into different areas, each with its own specific organizational structure, genre and practice. Amongst these areas are the games, MP3 (music), movies and software scene. The scene is a quite closed and fairly unknown organization that operates on the Internet. Unique organizational structures and many complex social relational and technological processes make this organisation an interesting phenomenon to study. This research is aimed at the MP3scene and describes the development and evolution from the start until its state today from an academic point of view. The objective of this research is to gain more insights in the ongoing organizational, social relational and technological processes within a global and virtual organization like the MP3scene.

Introduction Today a lot of research is being conducted on social organizations and communities that can only exist because of the Internet. Common examples of these communities are the social network site Facebook, the microblogging2 website Twitter, the music community Last.fm and the many weblogs that can be found on the web. These websites and communities all emerged in the Web 2.0 era and they are focused upon the end user and the interactions between them. Current research is focussed on the various aspects of these new forms of organizations. Kaiser, Muller-Seitz, Lopes, & Pina e Cunha (2007) describe in their article Weblog-technology as a trigger to elicit passion for knowledge the community of the Microsoft Longhorn Blogosphere. Slater (2002) analyses a community that exchanges erotic material on the Internet in his article Making things real: Ethics and order on the Internet. Knorr Cetina (2005) defines a new form of organization in her article Complex global microstructures: The new terrorist societies. She uses the Islamic terrorist organization “Al Qaida” to analyze its cell-like organizational structure. Despite that the scene emerged before the Web 2.0 era, its organizational structures and social relational processes have not been extensively studied before but might reveal interesting information. Different areas are represented within the scene and the most popular are the music, movie, software and games scene. The music scene, also known as the MP3scene, is currently the most active area of the scene. This thesis is an attempt to describe the MP3scene as an extensive, global and virtual organization that is fairly unknown to most people. This organization emerged not dependent on money as its key driver but more based on anarchic and idealistic motives. Its members have different nationalities and come from all over the world and live in different time zones. These characteristics make this type of organization an interesting phenomenon to study. The main research objective is to explore how this self-organizing organization emerged and developed during the years and to identify its agency. To identify and capture the various organizational, technological and social aspects, the structure- agency theory of Giddens (1984) is used as a guiding framework.

Využívá dvě TCP spojení trans- portní vrstvy označované jako řídící (kontrolní) a datové.[1, 2] Jedná se o textově orientovaný protokol pracující na principu klient-server, tzn. existuje server, kam jsou připojeni jednotliví klienti (například osobní počítače). Textové příkazy jsou posílány v paketech, které mohou být odchyceny a bez větších problémů přečteny. Nejedná se o nový protokol. FTP byl definován v RFC 114 (Request for Comments). Aktuální je definice v RFC 959[1], které vyšlo v říjnu roku 1985 a s použitím aktu- alizačních RFC je dnes stále využíváno převážně ke sdílení souborů.[1] 1.2.1 Aktivní režim Jedná se většinou o preferovaný režim přenosu, jelikož server nemusí otevírat porty a nemůže být přetížen mnoha žádostmi o data. Jak je zobrazeno na obr. 1.1. Přes řídící spojení je mezi klientem a serverem dohodnuto, na jaké IP adrese a portu budou data k dispozici (pomocí příkazu PORT). Spojení je navázáno ze serveru na sdělenou IP a port, kde se stáhne nebo nahraje soubor. Role serveru a klienta jsou tedy pro datové spojení vyměněny.[2] Tento režim však může být problematický při používání NAT (Network Address Translation) nebo firewallu, kdy je bráněno otevření portu na klientovi a následnému připojení serveru.[2] 1.2.2 Pasivní režim Problém NATu, který je způsoben nemožností připojení na klienta, a firewallu je vyřešen přenosem v pasivním režimu, kdy si klient se serverem nevymění role, ty zůstanou zachovány.

El servicio más usado para realizar este movimiento es el FTP (File Transfer Protocol), el cual consiste en un programa FTP alojado en un servidor -llamado FTP daemon- el cual se encarga de gestionar las transacciones que solicita el cliente. Los movimientos que podemos realizar a la hora de transferir archivos de un equipo a otro son: "download" (bajada de archivos de Internet), "upload" (subida de archivos a Internet), o intercambio de objetos entre dos o más usuarios.

  • Warez All That Pirated Software Coming From?
    Articles http://www.informit.com/articles/printerfriendly.asp?p=29894 Warez All that Pirated Software Coming From? Date: Nov 1, 2002 By Seth Fogie. Article is provided courtesy of Prentice Hall PTR. In this world of casual piracy, many people have forgotten or just never realized where many software releases originate. Seth Fogie looks at the past, present, and future of the warez industry; and illustrates the simple fact that "free" software is here to stay. NOTE The purpose of this article is to provide an educational overview of warez. The author is not taking a stance on the legality, morality, or any other *.ality on the issues surrounding the subject of warez and pirated software. In addition, no software was pirated, cracked, or otherwise illegally obtained during the writing of this article. Software piracy is one of the hottest subjects in today's computerized culture. With the upheaval of Napster and the subsequent spread of peer-to-peer programs, the casual sharing of software has become a world-wide pastime. All it takes is a few minutes on a DSL connection, and KazaA (or KazaA-Lite for those people who don't want adware) and any 10-year-old kid can have the latest pop song hit in their possession. As if deeply offending the music industry isn't enough, the same avenues taken to obtain cheap music also holds a vast number of software games and applications—some worth over $10,000. While it may be common knowledge that these items are available online, what isn't commonly known is the complexity of the process that many of these "releases" go through before they hit the file-sharing mainstream.

  • Machine Learning and Cybersecurity: Studying Network Behaviour to Detect Anomalies
    Machine Learning and Cybersecurity: Studying network behaviour to detect anomalies Jiawen Chen July 25, 2018 MSc in High Performance Computing with Data Science The University of Edinburgh Year of Presentation: 2018 Abstract Cybersecurity is an indispensable part of the Internet nowadays as almost everything can be connected by Internet. Individual privacy and property will face great danger if they are attacked by malware. This project aims to use the machine learning knowledge to build a classifier that can detect malware behaviour and avoid further damage to the network and its entity. The dataset used in this project is the CTU-13 dataset[1], which is NetFlow traffic from the normal, malware infected and background hosts. The classifier is built with the labelled normal and infected NetFlow, then applied to the unlabelled background NetFlow. This project follows the O’Neil & Schutt data science process[7] to process the data. The data is cleaned and processed, then aggregate based on time window to create a new dataset with the extracted features. This new dataset is the inputs of the following machine learning classification model: logistic regression, decision tree and random forest. Random forest model with an optimal threshold turns out to be the best model with an accuracy of 0.946 on the test dataset. Further application with this model is also implemented to the background traffic to detect potential malware. Keywords: Cybersecurity, NetFlow, Data science, Machine learning, Model building Contents Chapter 1 Introduction .......................................................................................................
