HOW TORRENTS WORKS-INTRODUCTION TO PEERS, SEEDS AND LEECHERS!!!

Image
         Hello this is virtual. It has been a long time since I posted last. Today I am going to talk a bit about a very interesting download protocol i.e peer2peer (p2p) downloading used in torrent. TRADITIONAL CLIENT-SERVER DOWNLOADING Before knowing how torrent works let us see how traditional client-server downloading works. 1. You open a web page and click on a link to download a file. 2. The web browser tells the server to transfer a copy of the file to your computer. 3. The server sent you the file. The transfer of the file depends on the protocol  involved.

TOR Vs VPN Vs Proxy !!!

Image
TOR: TOR stands for Total  Onion Routing. It is a decentralized  system  that allows users to connect to a system of random  relays, thus  protecting their anonymity. TOR encrypts  the data along with the IP address multiple times before sending it through a virtual circuit comprising of a number of relays. Using TOR  makes it more difficult for the activity to be traced back to the user. Advantages : 1.Free 2.Difficult to trace. Disadvantages : 1.Slow. 2.If the exit node is compromised, then your encrypted data is as good as plain text. 3.Location spoofing is not suitable. 4.Not suitable for  p2p file sharing. VPN: It stands for Virtual Private Network. The computer creates  an encrypted tunnel to a VPN server and all of the browsing appears to come from that VPN server. Advantages : 1.Fast. 2.Location can easily be spoofed. Disadvantages : 1.The internet activity is visible to the VPN provider a...
