TorrentGuard:阻止BitTorrent生态系统中的诈骗和恶意软件传播
TorrentGuard: stopping scam and malware distribution in the BitTorrent ecosystem
摘要:
在本文中,我们进行了大规模的测量研究,以分析BitTorrent生态系统中的虚假内容发布现象。我们的研究结果显示,虚假内容占BitTorrent中共享文件的重要部分(35%),而只有几十个用户负责90%的内容。此外,超过99%的分析虚假文件链接到恶意软件或诈骗网站。这对BitTorrent生态系统构成了严重威胁。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了一个新的检测工具,名为TorrentGuard的虚假内容的早期检测。根据我们的评估,该工具每年可以防止超过3500万个虚假文件的下载。这可能有助于减少BitTorrent用户遭受的计算机感染和诈骗的数量。TorrentGuard已经可用,可以通过网页或Vuze插件访问。
英文摘要:
In this paper we conduct a large scale measurement study in order to analyse the fake content publishing phenomenon in the BitTorrent Ecosystem. Our results reveal that fake content represents an important portion (35%) of those files shared in BitTorrent and just a few tens of users are responsible for 90% of this content. Furthermore, more than 99% of the analysed fake files are linked to either malware or scam websites. This creates a serious threat for the BitTorrent ecosystem. To address this issue, we present a new detection tool named TorrentGuard for the early detection of fake content. Based on our evaluation this tool may prevent the download of more than 35 millions of fake files per year. This could help to reduce the number of computer infections and scams suffered by BitTorrent users. TorrentGuard is already available and it can be accessed through both a webpage or a Vuze plugin.
