Anyone Can Play Big Brother With BitTorrent 436

Posted by timothy from the shrinking-wilderness dept.
An anonymous reader writes "I was at the 3rd USENIX Workshop on Large-Scale Exploits and Emergent Threats yesterday, and there were people from the French Institute for Computer Science who have continuously spied on most BitTorrent users on the Internet for 100 days, from a single machine. They've also identified 70% of all content providers; yes, those guys that insert the new contents into BitTorrent. As a BitTorrent user, I was shocked that anyone with a box connected to the Internet can spy on what everyone is downloading on BitTorrent."

Here, in Moldova, it's a pretty good place to be right now. We destroyed the Parliament builing and the first floors of the Presidency (our version of White House). People where throwing computers out the windows, documents, chairs, and all they found in the building. It all burned. I've never thought we would manage to do so much. I guess in everyone of us there is a mad man, which is good news if you want to overthrow a stupid dictator. Btw, on topic... Everyone I know found out about this small revolution on the Internet. Yay! Whish us good luck fighing against our evil overlords! :>
