---|---|---|
Anti-P2P companies have begun to launch Internet attacks against BitTorrent swarms. In this paper, we analyze how successful these attacks are at impeding the distribution of targeted files. We present the results of both passive and active measurements. For our active measurements, we developed a crawler that contacts all the peers in any given swarm, determines whether the swarm is under attack, and identifies the attack peers in the swarm. We used the crawler to analyze 8 top box-office movies. Using passive measurements, we performed a detailed analysis of a recent album that is under attack. |
