Thousands Caught by Fake eMule Servers
saw this was posted
by roadblock at p2pconsortium Source: Methlabs Forums By: JFM An attempt by the media industry to strike back at peer-to-peer users was revealed both to Methlabs and eMule users earlier today, as the tracking group MediaCentry set up several fake eMule servers to try to catch file sharers. MediaCentry is a company affiliated with both the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and have been responsible for the tracking of a number of peer-to-peer users over the last year. The servers, which were all hosted in the United States of America, were listed in a number of commonly used eMule server lists. Although it is not clear how the servers managed to slip past administrators, it is apparent that around 98000 people were using just one server before the problem was spotted. The servers have been removed from many lists already, http://www.gruk.org/list.php and http://ed2k.2x4u.de/list.html are currently proven safe. If you wish to update your firewall/PeerGuardian databases, you can add the following IP addresses which are confirmed as the fake servers: 66.192.117.38 66.192.117.37 209.61.190.154 66.192.117.44 199.218.8.201 66.192.117.39 66.192.117.36 209.61.191.41 66.192.117.34 38.119.67.93 66.192.117.43 66.192.117.41 38.119.105.66 66.192.117.40 209.61.191.17 66.192.117.42 66.192.117.35 http://methlabs.org/forums/showthrea...3743#post33743 |
