27.12.2008Trojan, distributed over torrent, blocks torrent sites
A trojan named Troj/Qhost-AC, has been spotted on torrent sites labeled as a keygen for popular software. But in a strange surprise, the trojan would
modify the users host file, rather than generating a key, changing popular torrent web sites like, The Pirate Bay, Suprbay (The Pirate Bay forum) and
Mininova, the two most popular torrent sites on the internet to 127.0.0.1, making it impossible to visit these sites. The Trojan caused pop-ups on
users screens and played a sound file saying "downloading is wrong". The Trojan didn't install any other spyware or malware onto the victims
PC, other than blocking the three web sites, something that many users thought was strange.

06.01.2009Office 2010 Has Leaked!
The Technical Preview of Office 2010 has officially leaked! WZor.net uploaded a torrent a few hours ago for both the x86 and x64 versions of the
new Office suite.
Without further ado, I present:
Microsoft Office 2010 (x86)
AND
Microsoft Office 2010 (x64)
The x64
torrent doesn't seem to be very active at the moment, but over time, as it gains more seeders, hopefully it will pick up. We were achieving speeds of
up to 1000kbps during our download of the x86 version, so the torrent is going strong... That is, until the rest of the world picks up on it...
Download quickly!
While you eagerly await the end of your download, check out a screenshot gallery from WZor as well (the version pictured
in the screenshots is the x64 version).

Australia has been known to have high levels of censorship. It should come as no surprise to those in the land down under that the government is
planning to filter P2P and Bit Torrent traffic in live pilot tests. Senator Conroy went on the record saying "technology that filters peer-to-peer
and Bit Torrent traffic does exist and it is anticipated that the effectiveness of this will be tested in the live pilot trial". It is a drastic
step to filter out all P2P and Bit Torrent traffic as it assumes that those channels are only used for piracy. One example of legitimate use is the
popular online game World of Warcraft.

23.12.2008Windows 7 leaks to Web, pirates downloading
Leaked copies of Windows 7 hit the Internet only hours after Microsoft Corp. handed out a preview build to developers last week, according to searches
at several BitTorrent-tracking sites. The notorious Pirate Bay site, for example, first noted the 32-bit version of the upcoming operating system on
Oct. 29, just one day after Microsoft unveiled Windows 7 to attendees at its Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles. A 64-bit edition was
posted the following day.
As of midday Sunday, with several copies of Windows 7 available, downloading was brisk. One 32-bit torrent listed
on Pirate Bay showed more than 1,400 "seeders," the term for a computer that has a complete copy of the torrent file, and close to 5,300
"leechers," or computers that have downloaded only part of the complete torrent. The 32-bit torrent installs a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, according
to users commenting on the site.

03.11.2008"txtor" tool circumvents basic torrent blockers
To the frustration of many students and other avid torrent downloaders, some universities and ISPs have been known to block the download of .torrent
files in an effort to curb illegal file sharing. This quick and dirty method of filtering Internet content is usually done through the use of a proxy
server that will look for a torrent mime-type in the file or, even simpler, the file extension itself. Although this method seems almost too simple to
take seriously, enough admins have found it effective enough to justify its use.
That's why a group of developers launched
txtor today, a site that makes it possible to download .torrent files as if they were text
files. As the site explains, from the user perspective, the service functions very simply. Plug in the URL of a torrent file, and it's translated to
a text file for you to download. For a moderately more technical explanation, the site merely takes the file and changes the mimetype and extension,
then spits it back out at you as a text file in order to bypass proxy-level torrent file blocks. Then, all you need to do is change the file extension
back from .txt to .torrent and open it up in your favorite torrent client. Based on our testing of txtor, we can say that the tool works exactly as
advertised.

06.10.2006Controversy over new Pirate Bay Facebook feature
The Pirate Bay has added a small, but significant feature to their website which will almost certainly prove to be controversial. The new feature is a
link provided on each torrent page which allows users to post the link to the particular torrent onto their Facebook profile. Friends can then begin
to download the particular torrent straight from their Facebook page, assuming a torrent client is installed. Many websites allow their users to do
the very same thing – even Neowin allows its users to submit news articles to Facebook; however the controversy lies in just what users will be
sharing, with the use of this.

property', think creatively about the future of distribution, production and creativity .” For those still confused, Steal This Film is a
series documenting the movement against intellectual property. The films discuss piracy culture as well as raids against file sharing websites. In the
spirit of piracy, the movie is completely free for download.

Another week and another Windows 7 leak. Last week build 7137 leaked and this week it is 7201's turn. This time around the build tag is
7201.0.090601-1516 meaning this build is only 3 days old. It's been rumored to leak all day, but just minutes ago, the torrents were posted.
Microsoft Netherlands employee Ruud de Jonge twittered "Installing Win 7 build 7201" a few moments ago to confirm the builds
authenticity.
Microsoft revealed yesterday that it will sign off final RTM code in mid to late July with a general availability and release
date of 22nd October for Windows 7.

Microsoft admits Windows 7 torrents were inevitable
Microsoft released their Windows 7 M3 build
6801 at PDC last week and within 24 hours copies began to appear on popular bit torrent sites worldwide.
In a recent press roundtable,
Microsoft executive Gary Schare, director of hardware ecosystem product management for the Windows client, acknowledged that the problem of bit
torrent distribution was inevitable.
"Certainly when we went into an event saying 'OK, you have to come to an event to get the
bits', you kind of know that someone is going to find a way to put that out there," Schare told APC, though he declined to comment on any
specific legal actions Microsoft might take against downloaders: "I can't speak to what our legal team or anyone else has done."
The
M3 build, released at last weeks PDC and WinHEC this week, does not require a serial to install therefore you can download and test the build freely.
Distribution to those wishing to install Windows 7 is probably a blessing in disguise for Microsoft. The windows team pools together a lot
of data from Windows update and the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) so a broader range of feedback may assist with early issues. Many
who install Windows 7 early are technical enough to deal with any early bugs and can provide essential feedback ready for the broad beta in early
2009.
On the other hand many in the 1000 strong Windows team may argue that this creates a lot of noise and too much broad feedback. The
company may not require such broad feedback from non developers and hardware engineers for such an early build.
Microsoft has not provided
a full schedule for the beta of Windows 7 but yesterday in a keynote at Microsoft's WinHEC conference, Steven Sinofsky hinted at there being 1
beta and 1 release candidate before RTM.

Vista SP1 x86 appears on Torrent Sites
In the last few days, certain Neowin forum members have reported that an image of Vista SP1 x86 Final has leaked to torrent sites. This file is
supposedly a slipstreamed image of the final Service Pack 1 for Vista x86. It is allegedly available in various languages, including English. Since
many believe that this is indeed the download that Microsoft will provide in the upcoming weeks, I would like to emphasize that this is not the case.
This release is not official, nor is it genuine. I repeat: Vista SP1 has not gone final.
Neowin members are reporting that the file in
question may be SP1 Refresh 2 slipstreamed or simply a malware-filled release. I would like to remind our members not to post links to any Vista SP1
build, unless it comes directly from Microsoft’s servers.

Windows 7 build 7077 leaks
According to several reports from Neowin members, Windows 7 build 7077 has leaked to various torrent sites. Named as an RC escrow build it's
likely that 7077.0.090404-1255 is the RC that will be modified to 7100 and distributed widely in May. Microsoft confirmed the 7100 path yesterday on
its Engineering Windows 7 blog by advising users to modify the MinClient build number from 7100 to 7000 in order to enable beta to RC upgrades. It is
now expected that Microsoft will name 7100 as the RC build and builds 7105 onwards will be the ongoing development branched towards RTM.
