Ratio Vulnerability in BitTorrent Discovered

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-thats-always-annoying dept.

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."
