Deface a torrent site: A cool howto!

Today we are going to show you how to deface any torrent site with minimal effort. The designers of a lot of torrent sites blindly trust the content of a torrent file. Reason being is because both Windows and Linux dont allow tags in filenames. But what if there was a program that allows you to manipulate the internal files in a .torrent file? Well I can tell you this: When a torrentsite does not clean the output (htmlentities) then they are fucked (snatch: proper fucked). I can also tell you that almost none of the big torrent site uses clean output when it comes to displaying a torrent’s internal files (ie” mininova).

So lets get started then, here’s what you need:

* A torrent editor (or a hex editor)
* Linux (or a hex editor)
* A torrent file (or more)

Open the torrent file with the program and locate the internal files, replace their names with something like this: matrix

H@xor OwnZ y0 M0mM@

.avi and save the torrent file. Next thing to do is upload the torrent to any torrentsite that has this vulnerability and your done. Next time someone opens that page they will see your message loud and clear. Think what you could do with javascript
