Source code has been leaked for dozens of tools MediaDefender uses (or, perhaps, used to use) to thwart the trading of copyrighted content on file-sharing networks. These include tools like BTSeedInflator and BTDecoyClient that target the BitTorrent network…The code is a boon to admins on the targeted file-sharing networks since it exposes MediaDefender’s methods for seeding the networks with decoy files and, therefore, will help the admins combat those strategies…Ernesto at TorrentFreak was, once again, the first to hear about the new leak of MediaDefender data. Ernesto has been on top of the MediaDefender story for months, having first discovered in July that MediaDefender was secretly operating a download site to catch users trading in illegal content.
