Bittorrent exploitable?

Is it possible to be exploited when torrenting?
A lot of clients are open source so bugs could be found and abused.

Potentially, sure. Why bother though? Seems like the traditional route of "free_lesbian_porn.exe" is far better, given that it works independently of torrent client and requires far less effort to create

ok kid

Why? Mainstream lez porn is horrible. The girls are never into it and it looks really fucking bad.

The whole point of a trojan is to get people to click on it.

Straight guys like lesbians
Les/bi girls like lesbians
Straight girls are a myth

therefore everyone but gay men is potentially a target

yeah those closed source ones with *coin miners in them are much safer than open source ones

To be fair, the OP image shits on uTorrent and advocates rTorrent

Shill pls.

If you aren't in fact a child, then fuck off. If you are, then educate you are self before making silly comments.

Good security is assuming your enemies have the source anyways. Read a book.

...

There's a lot of open source software written by professionals and closed source software written by amateurs.

The point is that being open source doesn't make something less secure. Being badly written and lacking audits does.

The funny thing is you can look up contributors of open source projects and point right to them.

We just have to take your word for it that these proprietary software developers are professionals.

Your professionals.


Shellshock made many proprietary fag happy not long ago. Floss isn't totally safe, but at least not malicious by design.

Plot twist: he only has an exploit for rTorrent and wants everyone to switch to that.

What is the likely hood of one file being able to exploit four different clients compared to that of just one?

It's true, but they're turbojaded as usual because they don't own the web.

Software will always have bugs, but like said, auditing makes all the difference. I'm confident that a good number of closed-source projects are closed because the developers are too embarrassed to release the source. Something like the Steam client or Windows NT (in its current state) probably look fucking horrendous. And in the ladder case, there are probably few people (if any) that are aware of certain sections of the source or what they do.

If you have a libtorrent exploit you have an exploit for a lot of clients.

Of the clients listed in the picture, only two of them use libtorrent.

True, but you asked it as a general question, so I answered it as one.

You have that backwards. Lesbian/gay is a myth. Just a bunch of degenerates

When will you autistic children ever learn.

This is what a "professional" tends to look like.

you aren't running qbittorrent in a chroot jail?

op pls

When will shills stop sounding like a broken record?

user, just because the company hires professionals, doesn't mean they want to pay those professionals to make perfect software; they want them to make "good enough" software that users will pay money for.
