All Your P2P are Belong to RIAA

A group is claiming to have infected 95% of the P2P networks with mp3 catologing scripts that informs the RIAA...

SecurityFocus

There's also a story at Slashdot.
 
This is a first that I've heard of this. Reading the article now...

I call BS. Any NDA the RIAA would have made them sign would prevent them from announcing the exploit. Do you have the slashdot link?
 
I hate GOBBLES. They do seem to know their stuff though. This would be hilarious! Cant wait to see the RIAA pull some of these records out in court, nothing like illegal search and siezure to get the court cases flowing 🙂
 
This kind of worm here has been talked about and thought about for a long time. Congrats to GOBBLES if they actually accomplished it. Id like to see numbers on how long it took to infect their estimated percentage of users. It shouldnt take too long. A couple of days at most since many people arent on Kazaa 24/7.

And I happened to notice, I dont use crap like mpg123 (not free), winamp (garbare) or the other media players mentioned 😀

Rules and laws do not apply to the RIAA, thought you knew that by now....
 
The general concensous over at slashdot is that this is a hoax and illegal.

Here's an interesting post on slashdot about "gobbles"

Have you ever met Gobbles? (Score:2)

He's a little dork. I know, it's not terribly conducive to intellectual discussion to use words like "dork," but the word exists for a reason, and this is as good an example of that reason as I can possibly imagine. For one, "GOBBLES Security," which for a long time pretended to be a whole group of people, turned out to be one teenager. For those of us who were at DefCon X this past year and saw him talk, well...you know what I am talking about here. For those of us who remember when he first started posting on the vuln-dev list on SecurityFocus, well...you know what I'm talking about too. As for the rest of you, I implore you, do a little research, because this dork thrives upon people not knowing what a child he is. I wouldn't believe him if he said he had proof that Bill Gates was a capitalist

Things to keep in mind:
1) If you participate in illegal file-sharing networks, your
computer now belongs to the RIAA.
2) Your BlackIce Defender(tm) firewall will not help you.
3) Snort, RealSecure, Dragon, NFR, and all that other crap
cannot detect this attack, or this type of attack.
4) Don't fu@k with the RIAA again, scriptkids.
5) We have our own private version of this hydra actively
infecting p2p users, and building one giant ddosnet.

Yeah, I forgot. Sorry. America is sending troops to sieze oil because gas prices are too expensive and I got caught up in the Nationalistic pride of the moment. WTF was I thinking?

The part about the RIAA contracting GOBBLES sounds like BS. But the rest of it is more than feasable. What part sounded like BS to you?

The best part about it (and this may be getting too technical for ATOT 😛) is that you can blend it in with normal Kazaa traffic. The people that look for these things look for things that are different or wierd that set off alarms. If you can blend the worm traffic in with normal traffic it would be much harder to spot.
 
Well, as implausable as it may be, it's still a valid concern, don't you think?

It's things like this that make me want to figure out how to use iptables...
