“The [leak] is complete for their operations regarding Kazaa, bittorrent, gnutella etc. This system is … released for the public in order to identify the decoys [MediaDefender] set up,” states the leak’s accompanying info file.
16 different tools in MediaDefender's toolset are aimed to target the Bittorrent network, including software to create bogus media files. The leak also includes tools for the control of many of the large filesharing networks including Ares, DirectConnect, eDonkey2000, FastTrack/Kazaa, Gnutella, Kademlia, Overnet, Piolet, SoulSeek and WinMX.
Making matters worse for Media Defender, the info file also thanks an unidentified MediaDefender employee, implying that the source code was sent directly from an employee.
MD has been sending out cease-and-desist notices to various BitTorrent trackers since the original leak admitting that “despite security precautions by our client, a person or persons illegally accessed MediaDefender's email and other files,” and that the sites in question “immediately and permanently cease and desist from posting, distributing or otherwise making available MediaDefender's trade secrets and confidential information.”
Some trackers have cooperated, others publicly mocked the request.
