Comment on Resurrecting a dead torrent tracker and finding 3 million peers

Funny how the author immediately decided to shut everything down when he realized the number of peer/torrents still sending requests to the domain.

Orphaned domains like this are interesting, there was a defcon talk, I think, where the presenter bought a bunch of blacklisted orphaned domains just to see if anything would try and connect to them. They got hit with so many botnet clients trying to phone home.

Yeah those orphaned domains are a goldmine for security researchers, there was a similar talk at blackhat where they showed how expired domains from major companies still recieved auth tokens and sensitive data for months after expiry.

Please post a link if you’re able, that sounds like a very interesting watch.
