Ratio Vulnerability in BitTorrent Discovered

An anonymous reader writes "The "vulnerability" has been tested on all the major torrent trackers that use the torrentbits source code. The idea is that you will sniff your torrent info using the HTTP Analyzer and with Firefox you will update your stats to the tracker being identified as a client."

I know, what is the world coming to when even P2P networks have security flaws?

Well, I guess I'll head back to safe, secure kazaa.

This is really gonna help

oh, you've got to understand -- posting a coral cache link isn't something that's supposed to be well thought-out with some sort of reason to believe that it will improve access to the site. it's just something you're supposed to feel obsessed and compelled to post. just post the coral cache link without thinking. coral. post the coral. no! DON'T THINK! JUST POST! CORAL! POST CORAL! DO IT!
