BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol used to distribute large amounts of data. A user can obtain multiple files simultaneously without any considerable loss of the transfer rate .
BitTorrent is the name of a peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution protocol, and is
the name of a free software implementation of that protocol. The protocol was originally designed and created by programmer Bram Cohen, and is now maintained by BitTorrent Inc. BitTorrent is designed to distribute large amounts of data widely without incurring the corresponding consumption in costly server and bandwidth resources. Cache Logic suggests that BitTorrent traffic accounts for 55% of all traffic on the Internet, while other sources are skeptical. The original BitTorrent client was written in Python. Its source code, as of version has been released under the BitTorrent Open Source License, which is a modified version of the Jabber Open Source License. There are numerous compatible clients, written in a variety of programming languages, and running on a variety of computing platforms.
it contains 20 slides full of pics n related information about bittorrent,its implementation,vulnerabilities and remedies and importance in practical life..Moreover,the facilities for small software developers..
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

7. Poppycock! BitTorrent historically has a bad reputation, due to its decentralized method of file transfer This makes it difficult to “remove” a download, such as one that is illegal BitTorrent is not inherently evil People are inherently evil I like bullet points
9. How does it work: Consumer Download torrent: lots-o-cool-stuff-n-things.lulz.torrent Open it in your favorite client:
10. How does it work Files are downloaded piecemeal, from many different places instead of just one Trackers are the central hub of control for each torrent Each tracker manages your “peers”, which are other people who are trying to download the same file
15. Glossary Seeder Someone who has finished downloading and is only uploading Leecher Someone who is downloading
16. Glossary Seeder Someone who has finished downloading and is only uploading Leecher Someone who is downloading Peer
17. Glossary Seeder Someone who has finished downloading and is only uploading Leecher Someone who is downloading Peer The collective term for seeders and leechers
18. What is a torrent file? A Bencoded metadata file containing information about one or more files Name/size/date of each file # of “pieces” of each file SHA1 hash of each piece Trackers for the torrent
19. What is a “piece”? Torrents are made up of many small pieces You never download all the pieces from one place (unless there’s only one seed) Pieces are usually less than a couple megabytes each
20. Bencoding Dictionaries Prefixed with “d”, end with “e” Lists Prefixed with “l”, end with “e” Integers Prefixed with “i”, end with “e” Strings Prefixed with string length + “:”
29. Trackers HTTP service that responds to GET requests Response is text/plain Bencoded dictionary Usually listens on port 6969
30. Tracker Announce Request Usually has a billion GET params: info_hash peer_id port uploaded downloaded left compact no_peer_id event ip numwant key trackerid
31. Tracker Announce Request Important GET params: info_hash the SHA1 hash of the piece to download peer_id unique identifier of the person doing the downloading ip/port the IP address and port of the peer uploaded/downloaded/left used for calculating “share ratio”, i.e. how much the tracker likes them
32. Tracker Announce Response A Bencoded dictionary with these keys: complete incomplete tracker id (yes, that is a space) peers warning message failure reason (only if an error occurred) interval min interval
33. Tracker Announce Response The relevant parts: peers Dictionary containing each peer’s IP address and port Or, if the client wants it compact, a binary string of each peer’s IP address and port interval/min interval the interval in seconds which the client is allowed to make a request complete/incomplete number of seeders/leechers
47. Set up the torrent Now, stuff your tracker on a server somewhere, listen on port 6969 Then add your tracker’s announce URL to a torrent e.g. http://likeaboss.biz:6969/announce
48. Other stuff Trackers are also facilitators and the supreme overlords over the torrents they track The list of peers that gets sent back to the client determines who downloads from whom They will use download/upload statistics to determine who isn’t uploading/seeding, and punish them by giving them crappy peers
49. Open source trackers OpenTracker (used by what’s left of The Pirate Bay) XBT Tracker – implemented using UDP instead of HTTP for ultimate efficiency MonoTorrent – cross-platform C# implementation (client as well) PeerTracker – PHP 5 implementation
50. In short… Unless you want to implement some weird rules for who gets to download stuff, don’t write your own. I only did it for fun. Because it’s fun.
