Monitoring the Bittorrent Monitors: A Bird's Eye View

چکیده
Detecting clients with deviant behavior in the Bittorrent network is a challenging task that has not received the deserved attention. Typically, this question is seen as not ’politically’ correct, since it is associated with the controversial issue of detecting copyright protection agencies. However, deviant behavior detection and associated blacklists might prove crucial for the well being of Bittorrent. We find that there are other deviant entities in Bittorrent besides monitors. Our goal is to provide some initial heuristics that can be used to automatically detect deviant clients. We analyze for 45 days the top 600 torrents of Pirate Bay. We show that the empirical observation of Bittorrent clients can be used to detect deviant behavior, and consequently, it is possible to automatically build dynamic blacklists.

Blind spots usually lead to difficulties for drivers to maneuver their vehicles in complicated environments, such as garages, parking spaces, or narrow alleys. This paper presents a vision system which can assist drivers by providing the panoramic image of vehicle surroundings in a bird’s-eye view. In the proposed system, there are six fisheye cameras mounted around a vehicle so that their view...

Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Communication Detection Using Spherical SOM Visualization for Network Management
In this research, we have built a system for network administrators that visualize the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing activities of network users. This system monitors network traffic and discerns traffic features using traffic mining. This system visualizes the P2P file sharing traffic activities of an organization by making the processing object not an individual user but a user group. The n...
