本文介绍了一组攻击，对手可以使用它从一台机器上长时间持续监视互联网上的大多数BitTorrent用户。在103天的时间里，我们收集了1.48亿个IP，下载了20亿份内容。我们确定的IP地址的内容提供商的70%的BitTorrent的内容，我们窥探。我们表明，一些内容提供商注入大多数内容到BitTorrent，这些内容提供商位于国外的数据中心。我们还表明，对手可以妥协的隐私的任何同行在BitTorrent和识别大的下载，我们定义为同行谁订阅了大量的内容。这种对用户隐私的侵犯对BitTorrent的法律的采用构成了重大障碍。
This paper presents a set of exploits an adversary can use to continuously spy on most BitTorrent users of the Internet from a single machine and for a long period of time. Using these exploits for a period of 103 days, we collected 148 million IPs downloading 2 billion copies of contents. We identify the IP address of the content providers for 70% of the BitTorrent contents we spied on. We show that a few content providers inject most contents into BitTorrent and that those content providers are located in foreign data centers. We also show that an adversary can compromise the privacy of any peer in BitTorrent and identify the big downloaders that we define as the peers who subscribe to a large number of contents. This infringement on users' privacy poses a significant impediment to the legal adoption of BitTorrent.
