This is silly. Judgements of Assange aside, isn't Wikileaks just a portal for a collection of torrents? If that's the case, what an utter waste of time and bandwidth.
- derefr 14y agoYes, because of course, this bandwidth could be much more effectively used in staging a Sybil attack[1] against those torrents. ;) [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybil_attack http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybil_attack
- Groxx 14y agoHow would this work against torrents? I'm not aware of them using trust-based systems. Certainly you can pollute the swarm and slow things down a bit, but anyone who eventually finds someone legitimate is barely even effected.
