  4. A (brief) history of software piracy • Warez – file sharing for you, not for profit. • The Scene started during the BBS days, with boards that served up only warez or had “elite” file sections. • During the BBS days, copy parties and mail trading was popular as well. • There has always been competition between groups for 0-day releases. • And a strict hierarchy... • FTP and IRC has given way to BitTorrent and direct download, but these older methods still exist.

  5. Oldschool FTP examples(via Usenet on Wikipedia) • 208.130.11.215 /incoming • (Generic unsecured FTP server, with anonymous read and write access to everything.) • 141.223.1.1 /pub/X11/R6contrib/incoming/pixmap.me/netscape2.zip/DiM.zip/ • (Discovery of poor security in a deeply pathed FTP location. The warez site uses directories named so as to look like unimportant files.) • 128.118.27.44 / l&p=warez • (Hacked server running hacker-controlled FTP service, with non-anonymous access. Login name: warez, password: warez) 204.181.57.2 port 999 l/p warez • (Hacked server running hacker-controlled FTP service, on a non-standard FTP port and non-anonymous login)

  6. Terms & General Info • FILE_ID.DIZ / .NFO files, .sfv, par2, rar • Cracks • Serials • Keygens • ISO's (binary images) • Rips • Movies: cam, telesync, workprint, screeners, telecine/R5, rips, xvid, divx • Appz / Games / sketchy pr0nz 

  7. Rapidshare and file hosting services • Rapidshare, Megaupload, Shareminer, filestube, essentially “<file> +download” google • Best if used with http://www.rlslog.net/ or if you know what you're looking for, or nfohump.com • Lots of scene releases, so cross check with BitTorrent sites • Most are free and for pay • Free ones limit the amount of files in a given time, but you can get around that (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/) ?

  8. Searching Tips • Even today, most games, movies, and albums are released by groups in the scene. • Again, it's best to search for scene releases, and append words like: torrent, rapidshare, megaupload • Use torrent sites to look at file lists – then search for one of those files • Use quotation marks to make sure your complex searches go correctly • You can almost always spot a fake • http://www.megaleecher.net/Rapidshare_Search_Engine

  9. BitTorrent • Very popular way of downloading pirated software and movies • Sites like Demonoid and The Pirate Bay have been around for years • Get a good client (like Transmission) that has a Safe Peer plugin or something similar • Remember to enable port-forwarding on your router for better speeds • Digital Hivewhat.cd, android app, waffles.fm • You can actually buy these… 

  10. Ripping Streaming Video • For Firefox, DownloadHelper is a great tool • Tools like it exist for all browsers • It rips most streaming video online, from sites like YouTube and Vimeo • If you get the file in a format you can't covert, there is always: http://media-convert.com/ • http://clubsexytime.com/talk/ • Handbrake for video to iphone,ipad yadada

  11. IRC & Scripting • http://xdccing.com/ epic sigh • http://xdccreport.com/ • http://www.siteslike.com/similar/xdccing.com • mIRC, colloquy • Scripting, http://www.mircscripts.org/ • Essentially, write scripts that troll IRC for you. • Irc proxies and http://www.superseedbox.com/ • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seedbox
