BitTorrent tracker

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 03:35:00 +0000

A BitTorrent tracker is a server which assists in the communication between peers using the BitTorrent protocol. It is also, in the absence of extensions to the original protocol, the only major critical point, as clients are required to communicate with the tracker to initiate downloads. (Clients that have already begun downloading also communicate with the tracker periodically to negotiate with newer peers and provide statistics; however, after the initial reception of peer data, peer communication can continue without a tracker.)

A Bit Torrent tracker centrally coordinates the P2P transfer of files among users. BitTorrent trackers are software server "toolkit" applications that typically run on Web sites. BNBT and CBTT are names of common BitTorrent tracker toolkits.

Tracker software serves up torrent files for download from a Web site. The tracker maintains information about all BitTorrent clients utilizing each torrent. Specifically, the tracker identifies the network location of each client either uploading or downloading the P2P file associated with a torrent. It also tracks which fragment(s) of that file each client possesses, to assist in efficient data sharing between clients.
BitTorrent clients connect to a tracker when attempting to work with torrent files.

Trackers and Indexers

A tracker should be differentiated from a BitTorrent index by the fact that it does not necessarily list files that are being tracked. A BitTorrent index is a list of .torrent files (usually including descriptions and other information). Trackers merely coordinate communication between peers attempting to download the payload of the torrents.
Many BitTorrent websites act as both tracker and index. Sites such as these publicize the tracker's URL and allow users to upload torrents to the index with the tracker's URL embedded in them, providing all the features necessary to initiate a download.

Private trackers
A private tracker is a tracker which restricts who can use it, often by requiring registration of a user account. Private trackers usually register how much the users upload and download and may enforce a minimum upload-to-download ratio. As a result their torrents usually offer better availability and speed compared to public trackers where leeching is more common.
Many private trackers are now implementing Passkeys in the torrent file, which gives each user a specific address to contact in order to get a list of peers. This helps to prevent unauthorized distribution of torrent files from private trackers.

Legal issues
Main article: Legal issues with BitTorrent
In most countries, it is illegal to distribute copyrighted material without the permission of the copyright holder. Because of their potential to be used in breach of copyright as well as in compliance, many torrent trackers have been the target of cease and desist lawsuits from copyright bodies; this despite the fact that a tracker does not actually host or distribute any copyrighted data itself.
A complicating factor is that torrent tracking websites operate in a variety of countries, including countries with copyright laws that differ from the country of origin of the copyrighted material, and countries in which different actions may be legal or illegal.
Further complicating factors are that there are many circumstances under which it is legal to distribute copyrighted material - indeed there are currently some experiments at legally selling content that is distributed over BitTorrent using a "secure" tracker system. For instance, copyright holders may choose to allow their content to be distributed for free, using licenses such as the Creative Commons family, or the GPL. In addition, some countries also have fair use provisions in copyright law, which allow people the right to access and use certain classes of copyrighted material without breach of the law.
[edit] Improving tracker reliability
Trackers are the primary reason for a damaged BitTorrent 'swarm'. (Other reasons are mostly related to damaged or hacked clients uploading corrupt data.) The reliability of trackers has been improved through two main innovations in the BitTorrent protocol:

Multi-tracker torrents
Multi-tracker torrents feature multiple trackers in the one torrent. This way, should one tracker fail, the others can continue supporting file transfer.
[edit] Trackerless torrents
The original BitTorrent client was the first to offer decentralized, distributed tracking using a distributed hash table (DHT), making torrents more independent from the tracker. Later, Azureus, µTorrent, BitComet and KTorrent adopted this feature. Azureus' "Distributed Database" feature uses its own form of DHT (Kademlia) which is incompatible with the official BitTorrent client's implementation, although most of the other clients support the official DHT implementation.
[edit] IPv6 support
One of the options for this HTTP based tracker protocol is the "compact" flag. This flag specifies that the tracker can compact the response by encoding IPv4 addresses as a set of 4 bytes (32bits). IPv6 though are 128bits long, and as such, the "compact" flag breaks IPv6 support. Trackers which support IPv6 clients thus currently ignore the compact flag. There have been mentions of a "compact6" flag, but this mechanism has not been adopted yet by the various BitTorrent clients.
The first IPv6 only BitTorrent tracker was and still is run by NIIF/HUNGARNET.
Recently SixXS released their IPv6 only BitTorrent Tracker. This tracker has a permanent set of seeds available on high bandwidth links. The .torrents served by this tracker can be submitted to the catalog, the seeds will then automatically start distributing these .torrents amongst each other, ensuring that the seeds have the full file and providing for high speed downloads for clients. This service makes Open Source distributions readily available over IPv6 in a highspeed way.
The tracker notifies the client of the P2P file location (that is normally on a different, remote server). If the BitTorrent tracker fails or is taken offline, clients will be unable to continue sharing those P2P files. A tracker normally utilizes TCP port 6969 for network communications.

List of Ad networks

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 08:01:00 +0000

Adsense:

Offers a contextual advertising solution to web publishers delivers text-based Google Ad Words ads that are relevant to site content pages.
Works, great best PPC network available to publishers.

Kontera:
Kontera’s Content Link is a double underlined contextually relevant keyword on a web page that upon mouse-over opens a small bubble like box that displays and links to an ad from one of Kontera’s advertisers.
When a visitor clicks the in text advertisement, they will be taken to the advertiser’s web site and the publisher will make money online. With Content Link, advertisers reach their targeted audience on a Cost Per Click (CPC) basis.
Great network for inline advertisements. People click on them and they look nice.

Adbrite:

Good CPM and PCP network. They have a very open TOS which allows there Ads almost anywhere. Their full page ads and in lines are great for extra cash.

Adversal:

Great pop-under network. Fair cpm rates and the reporting is good.

Paypopup:

Good CPM rates but there pop-under are infested with Malicious java script that will redirect your visitors off your pages. There pop-under are fairly dirty. I think they are not inspecting their advertisers and allowing Dirty pop-under on their network. Not something I want on my site.

Popuptraffic:

Suffers from the same thing, a few dirty pop-unders. I suspect also their cheating publishers and they give a crappy CPM.

LayerAds:

Unless your traffic is from the E.U expect to make little with this. Also their layer ads have Porn Ads in them. With no publisher control to remove them. Not something i want on my website.

ShoppingAds and AuctionAds:

I heard people made some good money with AA before they were sold to mediaWhiz. This publisher network is seriously suffering from alot problems from what I've seen using it. Athough I continue to use AA. (I'm still waiting out this guys to get their shit together)

Bidvertiser:

Low CTR becuase the Ads are not relevant to the sites content even if you put in the right category. This network has alot of "make money online" types of Ads. Useless for me and made nothing with this network.

Top 10 Ways to Defend Against Viruses and Worms

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 02:00:00 +0000

To use your computer and the Internet safely, you need to safeguard your files, your identity, and your personal information. Following these 10 basic rules will help you secure the online experience for you and your family.

1.Stay aware of current virus news by checking sites like McAfee® Avert® Alerts.
Be careful exchanging floppy disks and CDs between computers; also, write-
protect your floppy disk or CD. For file compression, use statically compressed
ZIP files instead of self-extracting ones.
2.Protect your computer with strong security software and keep it updated. McAfee Internet Security Suite provides proven PC protection from Trojans, hackers, and spyware. Its integrated anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall, anti-spam, anti-phishing, and backup technologies work together to combat today’s advanced multi-faceted attacks. It scans disks, email attachments, files downloaded from the web, and documents generated by word processing and spreadsheet programs.
3.Use a security conscious Internet service provider (ISP) that implements strong anti-spam and anti-phishing procedures. The SpamHaus organization lists the current top-10 worst ISPs in this category—consider this when making your choice.
4.Enable automatic Windows® updates, or download Microsoft® updates regularly, to keep your operating system patched against known vulnerabilities. Install patches from other software manufacturers as soon as they are distributed. A fully patched computer behind a firewall is the best defense against Trojan and spyware installation.
5.Use great caution when opening attachments. Configure your anti-virus software to automatically scan all email and instant message attachments. Make sure your email program doesn’t automatically open attachments or automatically render graphics, and ensure that the preview pane is turned off. This will prevent macros from executing. Refer to your program’s safety options or preferences menu for instructions. Never open unsolicited emails, or attachments that you’re not expecting—even from people you know.
6.Be careful when using P2P file sharing. Trojans sit within file-sharing programs waiting to be downloaded. Use the same precautions when downloading shared files that you do for email and instant messaging. Avoid downloading files with the extensions .exe, .scr, .lnk, .bat, .vbs, .dll, .bin, and .cmd. Anti-virus software and a good firewall will protect your system from malicious files.
7.Use security precautions for your PDA, cell phone, and Wi-Fi devices. Viruses and Trojans arrive as an email/IM attachment, are downloaded from the Internet, or are uploaded along with other data from a desktop. Cell phone viruses are in the beginning stages, but will become more common as more people buy smart phones with advanced email, text messaging, and instant messaging features. Anti-virus software is available for PDAs and cell phones. McAfee also offers trusted security for Wi-Fi.
8.Configure your instant messaging application correctly. Make sure it does not open automatically when you fire up your computer. Turn off your computer and disconnect the DSL or modem line when you’re not using it. Beware of spam-based phishing schemes—don’t click on links in emails or IM.
9.Back up your files regularly and store the backups somewhere besides your PC. If you fall victim to a virus attack, you can recover photos, music, movies, and personal information like tax returns and bank statements, and simultaneously gain total “peace of mind” protection from viruses, spyware, hackers, ID theft, spam, predators, and wireless threats with McAfee Total Protection™.

BitDefender’s June 2007 Top 10 malware list includes

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 01:55:00 +0000

BitDefender Lab’s Top 10 Malware Chart for June reveals that many computer users still do not have adequate protection
Puce.G and a newer version of the Rjump worm lead this month’s list

BUCHAREST, Romania – July 2, 2007 – BitDefender®, a global provider of award-winning antivirus software and data security solutions, announced today its Top 10 malware threats of June 2007.

With this month’s list of Top 10 malware threats only accounting for 39.75% of the total number of threats, perhaps the most outstanding finding is not a certain virus, but the way that the top malfeasants have been concentrated into a smaller percentage of the overall viruses developed in the wild.

The P2P worm Puce.G claims first spot once again in June, while the second place in the gallery of malware goes to a new version of the Rjump worm, displacing the older (B) version which held the same position in May.

Although it accounts for only slightly more infections than last month (4.17% vs. 3.82%), Netsky continues to show up high in the list, climbing this month to third place.

BitDefender’s June 2007 Top 10 malware list includes:

win32.worm.p2p.puce.g 9.57%
worm.rjump.k 8.21%
win32.netsky.p@mm 4.17%
win32.worm.vb.ymeak.a 3.68%
win32.worm.vb.dz 3.22%
win32.worm.rjump.b 3.16%
win32.wukill.e@mm 2.10%
worm.seduobot.a 1.99%
win32.worm.vb.nei 1.95%
win32.brontok.a@mm 1.70%

(Note: BitDefender’s June 2007 Top 10 list of malware accounts for 39.75% of the total number of all viruses seen in circulation.)

"It's worrying to see the same threats reported month in and month out. It appears as if many users still don't have adequate antivirus protection. A virus is extremely difficult to eradicate from the wild if it can keep finding new hosts,” commented Viorel Canja, head of BitDefender Labs.

Need a Haircut

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 08:27:00 +0000

A guy sticks his head in the barber shop and asks,
"How long before I can get a haircut?"
The barber looks around the shop and says,
"About two hours." The guy walks out.

A few days later, the same guy sticks his head in
the door and asks,

"How long before I can get a haircut?"
The barber looks around the shop full of customers
and says, "About two hours." Once again,

the guy leaves the shop.

A week later, the same guy sticks his head in the
shop and asks, "How long before I can get a haircut?"
The barber looks around the shop and says,
"About an hour and a half." Again, the guy walks out.

The barber is getting curious.
He looks over at a friend in the shop and says,
"Hey Bill, follow that guy and see where he goes."

A little while later,
Bill comes back into the shop laughing.
The barber asks,

"Bill, where did the guy go when he left here?"

"To your house."

Trojans Vs. Viruses

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 08:02:00 +0000

Confused about the differences between a virus, a trojan, adware, and spyware? While they all fall under the category of malware, they are all very different types of digital nasties.

Have you ever watched the movie Troy with Brad Pitt? It’s the one where the Greeks build a huge wooden horse and hide soldiers inside of it? Yeah - you know the story.

A computer trojan is a lot like that movie. It’s a program installed on your computer (often bundled with another program) that runs in the background. It will open a door to your computer, so to speak, to allow another person to get IN. They can see your files, look at everything on your computer, and even take over your computer and use it for malicious means.

A virus is destructive. It can rewrite your files, overwrite your files, and even wipe out your files. Some viruses can execute themselves to basically cripple your system in a matter of seconds. There are others that simply install themselves quietly, and then send copies of themselves out to everyone in your address book to infect them.

Spyware is a nifty little bugger that likes to… well… SPY on you. For example, those cool toolbars and desktop widgets you install… or a program you downloaded from a file sharing network… often will have spyware bundled with them. This spyware gathers information about you and your surfing habits, and will send it back to the distributor without your knowledge and/or consent.

And of course, we have adware. Adware is just an ad running inside of a program. It installs itself directly onto your computer, and can open new browser windows, redirect your current window, and even hijack your search engine to redirect to its own results. Yes… those annoying popups you can never seem to get rid of are adware.

Everyone has a different opinion on how to get rid of malware. What I’m interested in is knowing how you got infected and what you did to stop and/or clean your system. Leave us feedback

Warning for new users: while P2P file sharing technology is completely legal, many of the files traded through P2P are copyrighted. Unless you live in Canada where users are shielded from P2P lawsuits, then downloading P2P files may put you at risk for a civil lawsuit in any other country.

Introduction to Torrents Technology

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 06:37:00 +0000

BitTorrent is a file distribution system used for transferring files across a network of people. As you download a file, BitTorrent places what you download on upload for other users; when multiple people are downloading the same file at the same time they upload pieces of the file to each other. BitTorrent pieces together the file you are downloading, to where the first part of a file you get may be the last part someone else gets. As you continue to retrieve the file, BitTorrent also uploads data to other users. For example, a person with 98 percent of the file done is directed to the people with the 2 percent of the file they still need.
It is not p2p sharing

The files downloaded via BitTorrent are called torrents.

You can download..
Movies, games, pictures, softwares, songs, tutorials etc all for free using torrents.

All you have to do is to install a Bit torrent client software on your computer.
There are many Bit torrent client softwares like
utorrent(recommended)
Azureus
Bitlord
Bitcomet

Install the software. Unblock the required ports in your firewall and antivirus.

Now, you are ready to download stuff from the internet.
There are many torrent search engines.
isohunt.com
torrentspy.com
torrentreactor.com

Type the name of the movie or games in the search box.
Open the torrent using your client software(utorrent).

Warning for new users: while P2P file sharing technology is completely legal, many of the files traded through P2P are copyrighted. Unless you live in Canada where users are shielded from P2P lawsuits, then downloading P2P files may put you at risk for a civil lawsuit in any other country.

Be wary of paid search results.

Vendors of "rogue/suspect" anti-spyware products advertise heavily via Google's "AdWords" ("Sponsored Links" on Google's own search pages) and "AdSense" (Google-driven advertising delivered to third-party web sites).

Users should be aware that a search on the term "spyware" (or any related term) at Google will turn up a variety of anti-spyware products and web sites -- some reliable and trustworthy, some not. The key to distinguishing trustworthy anti-spyware products and sites from non-trustworthy products and sites in Google's search results is learning to distinguish "regular search results" from "paid search results," otherwise known as "Sponsored Links."

The "regular search results" are those results that are ranked highly and are popular among actual users. For the most part, these are trustworthy. "Sponsored Links," by contrast, are paid for by vendors themselves. These "paid search results" are generally not trustworthy and should be avoid

You may encounter similar Google-driven advertising on other web sites. These advertisements are clearly labeled as originating from Google's AdSense ("Ads by Google"). They usually appear on the top, bottom, or sides of web pages and web sites (see screenshot to the right for an example).

Even on such third-party sites, the advertising for "rogue/suspect" anti-spyware products looks similar to the "Sponsored Links" (see above) and is just as untrustworthy.

As always, users are advised to stick to the "regular search results" on Google's site as well as to those anti-spyware products and web sites that enjoy good reputations among users (see above).
