Hello. I have now recently set up an i2p torrenting system connected to jellyfin. The upside is that I pay zero to vpns and i2p actually has a pretty awesome selection of movies and tv shows (postman ftw). For real, i feel like i2p is where it’s at right now in the torrenting world, as it completely bypasses the need to trust vpns. And torrenting over i2p doesn’t hurt the network like torrenting over tor. The downside is that download speeds per torrent is way lower, but i just wait a couple of days for torrents to finish.

Now, I seed and I give back to the community, but I feel like i need to do more and apply my skillset. I believe in piracy as an idea. Democratizing access to information is a noble pursuit, and seeders are the backbone to piracy and the idea of free access to information. But i want to do more. I want to learn how to crack drm, how to be at the source of information. As companies put in more complicated drm and enforce draconian copyright laws, i fear it might not be enough to just be a seeder. To win this ongoing war, we need more crackers.

I am but a humble foot soldier, looking for recruitment and training. I have a mathematics background and some flexible coding knowledge, but nothing deep. I like playing wargames like in overthewire and know the basics of gdb and a patchy knowledge of binary exploitation.

    I’ve run a Tor exit for 17 years and can assure you it doesn’t have much to do with piracy.

        My exit policy avoids worst abuses so no. I have had to monitor and adjust as different botnets etc decide to use it.
