Tribler also means you're an exit node?
Tribler also means you're an exit node? http://forum.tribler.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6906 To quote: I received two copyright notices from Comcast while letting Tribler idle.
This is the first and only time I have received these notices.
1) I have not downloaded anything at all. Nothing. The test file popped up to idle. Otherwise, not a movie of any variety, not even a linux ISO to test. I had subscribed to a few channels.
2) These only came up after I installed Tribler and have left it idling.
3) I was not seeding anything.

Why torrent files the normal way when you can become anonymous by torrenting small chunks of huge numbers of files instead? I'm sure ISPs and prosecutors will understand! Even if they start mentioning this little detail, their implementation would still be horribly broken: ECB mode without authentication, no RSA padding, poor random numbers, and code like this: try: raise ImportError() from Crypto.Random.random import StrongRandom except ImportError: from random import Random as StrongRandom The list goes on: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2014-December/007999.html Tribler is the Telegram of torrent clients. Stay far away from it.
It is also chock-full of child-porn torrents, based on my limited testing. So not only are you exposing yourself to copyright infringement suits.. I filed a "bug" before I heard just how terrible their crypto was, simply to say that I should be able to add a block-list or filter to the kinds of things I'll be an exit for. I haven't heard back since. Relaying, sure; I don't know what I'm relaying, and I'm willing to agree that the importance of freedom of speech and privacy is critical enough to accept some risk of relaying stuff I consider inhuman. But exiting, when I have every ability to choose to block that shit? That's a blatant missing feature, right there. Then I saw the code, and cried a little. The unpadded RSA, the mess of optional dependecies and woeful fallbacks, import soup.. there is a dark side to the kind of coding freedom Python allows you, and this is deep dark-side magic right here. Do not want. apt-get purge. On 24/12/14 23:01, Patrick Mylund Nielsen wrote:

Even despite the quality of the crypto code in Tribler, it's a generally common problem for all "anonymizers" (including TOR) - the connection to clearnet. It's a double edged sword though - without it they are a lot less likely to be a target, but also a lot less likely to become popular. -- Łukasz "Cyber Killer" Korpalski mail: cyberkiller8@gmail.com xmpp: cyber_killer@jabster.pl site: http://website.cybkil.cu.cc gpgkey: 0x72511999 @ hkp://keys.gnupg.net //When replying to my e-mail, kindly please //write your message below the quoted text.
