Cant you man up and admit that you are in the wrong?

If we are on sharp mode, any (c) or (r) even (tm) material can be posted on internet, excep of course for its creator.

I guess, this is a share forum, so until the admins or poster don't charge you a fee for the material its OK. I know that the whole issue is bigger than a good rape season.

[Tin Manifest]

Has the guilty party made an attempt at a reply? I don't really care, but I am curious.

Oh, and does this mean that Rapidshare is safe to use again? Well, it's still a poor host, but do we know if they flag accounts for autodeletion or was that just speculation?

Well i missed this question...Chi for some ways you are right...talking about of copyrights...eh eh
but we grow up with another mentality...for us who report files is a rat...and it must be destroyed.

This is what I call THE SMELL OF VICTORY....Great work Sani AND ALL INVOLVED I N THE HAUNT...

What the MUTHERFUCKING FUCK !!! HOLY FUCKING SHIT !

Although i LOVE RB i very rarely dl the stuff posted and therefore this has come as a smack in the face to me !! Today i was speaking to Kitty-Jo and she alerted me to the fact the rat had been caught and i was like what a rat ?? i simply had no idea!

I now understand what has been happening and it is the same as what has happened to another well known site which i actually do dl from and in my belief it totally ruined that forum. I feel sorry for the people who take time to share their stuff and then have this shit happen to them it is WELL OUT OF ORDER !

The difference i see on this forum is that Someone has actually taken the time and effort to do something about it and have actually caught the perpertrator ! therefore i congratulate Sanitarium an SSR and thank them for this action WELL DONE GUYS u deserve a medal !

btw - thanks to phantom and KO as well and anyone else who helped make Rb securer.

I dont know much about link protection etc but i guess now that this rat is caught we must assume that it is only a matter of time before there is another one, so i would urge all mods and posters to get their heads together to ensure that peoples work is protected from these assholes, whether that is using link protection or making the vids/pics section private - whatever just as long as it makes RB securer !

Finally EZZDX - What the fuck were you thinking dude, the way i saw it you were accepted here with graciousness and had friends. Those that didnt immediately like you started to warm to you and your posts, in other words NO ONE TREATED YOU THAT BAD ENOUGH TO WARRANT THESE ACTIONS YOU DID ! there is no excuse!, i would understand if u were some right wing christian lunatic hell bent on jihad against porn , but you were EZZDX and i thought you were okay ! i am not even angry - just VERY FUCKING DISSAPOINTED !! i dont understand how you could do that ! you stoop to a very low level ! shame fucking shame on you !

Thanks again to the people involved in catching this guy !

I found this on another site. If you upload read all the way to the bottom. this makes a lot of sense, and will help you with the reposting of deleted links.


If You Upload, Read This

You want to avoid Fingerprinting

Quick Explanation

1) Create a new folder and insert the video file

2) Create a .txt document which could read anything, example "Hope you enjoy my video!" then add this document to the folder.

3) Compress the folder using Winrar or zip Compression utility.

4) Name the compressed file something that can avoid search engines. (randomly sub numbers for vowels or mirror write the orig. file name.)

5) Upload the renamed compressed file to your Fileshareing service ie Rapidshare It should be accepted now that has a unique size.


Full Explanation

There's been some discussion about files being deleted at Rapidshare, and perhaps there's a little confusion out there about how this works, so as a person who has been doing this a long time. I thought I'd write up a little essay to explain things. I apologize in advance if this gets a little lengthy, but I hope it will ultimately make things clearer about how Rapidshare (and the other services) operate their servers.

When you upload a file to Rapidshare, they create a "digital fingerprint" for your file. This is often referred to as a "checksum". In essence, what they might do is to add up all the tiny little 1's and 0's in your file and come up with a total. Since that total wouldn't by itself necessarily guarantee a unique value to distinguish one file from another, they might then calculate a second or third checksum using some other method (such as adding up the 1's and 0's that are found only in every OTHER bit of your file, or in every SEVENTH bit of your file, etc.) Eventually, they arrive at a unique digital fingerprint that clearly identifies your file and which cannot be confused with any other file.

A term that you may have seen in relation to checksums (particularly if you use WinRar, since WinRar displays these values) is "CRC" or "CRC-32". That stands for "Cyclic Redundancy Check". CRCs are just a more complicated variation of checksumming. Read more here if you really want to know the boring mathematical details:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check

But enough technical hoo-haw -- let's move on.

So now let's say you've uploaded your files, and each of them has its own special unique checksum value.

Next, someone else out there in the vast world of cyberspace uploads the exact same file to Rapidshare. Lo and behold, Rapidshare performs a few calculations and their new file magically ends up having the exact same checksum/CRC value as yours did. Any guesses what Rapidshare does next?

Like any good business, they recognize an opportunity to save money.

Rapidshare says to itself, "It's stupid for me to waste valuable server space by storing a second copy of the same file. I'll just generate a unique link for this second person to use, but it will point to the exact same data that was already uploaded onto my servers by the first person."

This way, when Madonna's new CD or Brad Pitt's sex tape leaks out to the Internet and 50,000 people all upload a copy of it to Rapidshare, Rapidshare doesn't need to save 50,000 duplicate copies of the same thing on their server. They only keep one copy, but have 50,000 links to the same data. Links are cheap -- server space is not as cheap.

Now, guess what happens if even one of those links gets reported as "offensive or illegal" material? As you might suspect, it's not just the one offensive link that gets disabled, it's ALL 50,000 links.

Poof! In one fell swoop, all 50,000 links are wiped out -- even though only one of those 50,000 links was actually reported.

There's an important point here that's worth stopping and reflecting upon for a moment. What this means is that your own personal links can be deleted even if no one specifically reported YOUR links as a violation of terms.

Let's now use a pay site example. You are a member of that site, so you download the clip and then upload it to Rapidshare "as is". Unbeknownst to you, 10 other members of that site do the same thing.

You share your link with 2 of your closest friends. Or 25 other folks.
Or perhaps even NO ONE AT ALL. But one of those other 10 thieving bastards shares HIS link with 1000 of his favorite public blogs and Yahoo groups. The webmaster of the pay site then sees his precious clip posted at one of those places and reports it to Rapidshare as being in violation. This also deletes YOUR link, even if you shared it with NO ONE AT ALL. I have personally verified using 2 rapidshare accounts that it does indeed work this way -- a link that has never even been shared can still get deleted with a note saying that it has "been reported".

So, next time someone says, "I only posted this link to one group, and it got deleted, so there MUST be a spy there", remember that this may NOT truly be the case. It all depends on whether or not the file that you uploaded was unique or if an identical file had also been uploaded by OTHER people out there on the Internets.

The most obvious answer to at least part of this problem is to disguise your uploads in such a way that they are unique to you and do not ever identically match anything that someone else out there on the Internet will upload.

Let's now use a second pay site example. A pay site publishes THEIR latest weekly clip. This clip is bigger and is 250000 KB in size.

Pop quiz! What's the first thing all the uploaders out there do?

Anyone? ...Anyone? ...Bueller?

Answer: They split it into parts that are of size 100000 KB, giving 3 pieces (100000 KB, 100000 KB, and 50000 KB ).

What's a better thing to try? Split the file into parts that are of a size no one else out there is using -- try 99993 KB or 99985 KB instead of 100000 KB. That way, when the 100000 KB splits get deleted

-- as they inevitably do -- your own links will not be affected. Like Gloria Gaynor, they will survive. Hey hey.

The key is to always make your own files be something unique that no one else on the Internet is going to upload.

Once a file is reported to Rapidshare as a violation of terms, they retain its unique fingerprint (CRC value) in their database. If you ever try to re-upload the exact same file, Rapidshare says, "Don't even think about it, you pirate bastard!" and doesn't let you do it.

(Of note is that they can't calculate the checksum or CRC value until they have received the entire upload from you, so the most maddening part of this is that you must first waste 40 minutes uploading a file and THEN you find out that it has already been reported.)

So how do you re-upload a file once it's been deleted?

(1) Transform it into a .Zip or .Rar file instead of just uploading the original .wmv file

(2) Use HJ-Split to create splits that have a different file size than the file that was deleted

As long as you change the file size, your new file is guaranteed to have a different and unique digital fingerprint. The object is to make sure that anything you upload always has a unique fingerprint that does not match the fingerprint of anything someone else may have already uploaded. Once you make a match with something that's already out there, then it does not matter how careful you are with your own links -- if the other person is careless with THEIR links, then YOUR links are at risk.

Eventually, with popular clips, the .Zip version of the file will also get deleted, at which point it cannot be re-uploaded, either. What you have probably seen many regular posters do is to make a .Zip file that includes 2 things. The primary thing inside the .Zip file is the .wmv (or .avi or whatever) movie file that they want to share, and the secondary thing inside the .Zip file is some small .jpeg picture or .txt file. If you've wondered why they do this, now you know. It's not really for the vanity or the personal glory of sharing that extra .jpeg or .txt file with you. It's so their .Zip file contents will be different from the .Zip file that anyone else out there on the Internet might possibly post. The name of the game for uploaders is to make sure that whatever you upload is always unique. Once you do that, then the only way your own links will ever get deleted is if someone actually reports YOUR specific links.

One final misconception is that the NAME of the file you upload to Rapidshare makes a difference. It doesn't. Rapidshare cares only about the CONTENT, as that is how they calculate the checksum/CRC fingerprint.

You could give your file any of the following names:

Brad_Pitt_and_Damien_Crosse

My_vacation_photos

(ETC.)

but as long as the CONTENT of those 5 files are the same, THAT is the only criteria Rapidshare will use in determining what to do with your file. They will either accept it as a brand new file, recognize it as a match for something they have already on their servers, or reject it as a previously-reported forbidden item. They don't care about your file NAME, and they don't have a team of low-paid slaves who are constantly monitoring incoming file names or looking through what's inside any of the uploaded files. That's an impossible task that can only be done electronically. In a digital world where file names are virtually meaningless, it's all about the checksums.

However now that there are search engines that can find files on these servers, it is a good idea to create a unique name that can not be easily searched for and found.

There have been rumors that Rapidshare, Sendspace, MegaUpload, and the other services might get together and exchange the databases that each of them has kept in order to uncover even more forbidden links. Don't count on that happening, though. It is more than likely that each of those services uses their own unique method of performing the checksum/CRC calculations, and that the list kept by one site would thus be of no value to any of the other sites that perform their calculations differently. They are also in business to make money and to please as many of their paying customers as they can, and thus do not stand to gain anything (other than the favors of the RIAA) by taking proactive self-policing measures like that. Something like that would probably have to be court-ordered, and since many of these sites are based in different countries, good luck with that.

I know this was wordy, but hope it provides some tips for at least one or two of you to help avoid link deletions. The other important thing to take from it is that getting your links deleted is often not the fault of the group you sent them to but a failure on the part of the uploader to ensure that their file content was unique.

Is that what it is?

a "snitch" or a "rat" is bad to everyone who does something they are not suppose to do, am I right? like someone snitching on a murderer, or a drug dealer.

If you are not suppose to be doing it, why do you do it?

I think what happened was ezzdx had a vendetta on RapeBoard, in which case he executed in a way that that none other would think of touching. He had such talk and backed that shit up.

I do have to say I am impressed by such snitchery. Everyone hates a snitch, but you got to hand it to him.

If someone snitched on me when I was doing something wrong though, I would be hella pissed, but I would take it like a man (expression) and chalk it up to a lesson learned.

Damn I suck.

And I am going to suck even more once I say this...

Lurkers.....rejoice.

Oh and to ezzdx.......why Tito? Thats the gayest name ever. Or maybe he just wanted to fool everyone.

Um...no! He didn't report (or snitch) to the copyright holders, he just reported to Rapidshare that there was "illegal content" so that Rapidshare would block the files these uploaders spent hours to upload. Rapidshare doesn't check all the files people upload so they usually take the word of the person who reports it.

I mean, I could post a video on let's say... my Summer vacation and there's nothing wrong with that. A person who hates me or what I wrote could contact Rapidshare and say it's kiddie porn (even though there's no porn or kids in it) or "illegal content" and Rapidshare would take it off without even looking at the file(s). That did happen once when I posted my brother's Capoeira Baptizado and someone who though Brazilian Ju-Jitsu was better reported my video to Rapidshare as "illegal content" even though there's nothing wrong (or violent) with it.

He's a rat because of the way he tried to give people a hard time on the board.

Rapidshare does lock the file for a week before deleting it to prevent any false reports from creating any real damage since you have 1 week to request them to check the contents of your file which was reported. By the way it does not matter what kind of porn those files did contain since RS does not accept any obscene material on their servers so even if you would be uploading your own nude picture their way of handling it wouldn't differ from rape fantasy videos.

Still the copyright issue does not have anything to do with this subject since ezzdx did thank people for the same videos that were reported so his motives were something else. Might be that he was only covering his tracks but the way the files were being reported does not support the idea of him acting because of copyrights which makes the way we are sharing files on the internet irrelevant when it comes to ezzdx's case.

There are already a topic or few about "stealing" stuff by sharing it for free on the internet so it is better to continue in those threads if there is even need to do so...

I still can't believe this. I considered Ezzdx my "online" friend - even we did not talked much via PMs. I liked his posts usually and even the wrestling images And sorry, I still do (consider him my friend). I just can not switch my feelings like that *fillip sound*.

But anyway, I completely believe Sanitarium and S. S. Rat. This is the respect I have to them that makes me not doubt about that much. Thank you guys, great work!

@Ezzdx: Why man? I know you probably will never have a chance to explain that, but still ... why?

And in a memory of Ezzdx:

Hope, you have peace now! R.I.P.

Step2: Use info found to remote exploit pc if no flaw then go to step 6.
Step3: Setup dynamic dns to keep track of his ip.
Step4: Log all his web traffic to prevent further connections to RB or othersites for reporting or go directly to step 5.
Step5: Wait till a long period of inactivity on his computer and secure wipe it.

Step6: Get a large number of powerful networking devices/pcs on the highest speed connections you can to flog his ip with large ping packets until you can see bone.

I remember the similar feeling of satisfaction when on slashdot.org they published the real life address (even a satellite image) of the person responsible for one quarter of the worlds spam. 1 Month later he had his own delivery truck coming from the post office just to provide his mail as people thought a just revenge would be sending junk mail to him for a change.

You can't. The rat has many options. Easiest would be to use Tor a free onion router system. JonDos is also an option as are loads of public proxys. He would have to use a cleaner program like prioxy or we might be able to track his subnet via DNS lookups (Assuming RB has access to its DNS server). Using any of these things he would have to sign up to a new account and post enough to the required level. I am sure there are measures in place to monitor new sign ups etc.

A better plan would be (if RB was in control of the its DNS) to dynamically respond to his subnet with a different ip which is a fake version of RB. IE. all the links are bogus or restricted so no one can access. However as he knows hes been rumbled I doubt that will work until you catch him again.

Another issue is that he knows what users accounts have been used on RS, Mediafire etc and he can just check there for updates. Also if using Rapidshare again you must use non obvious names and passwords or the rat or anyone else can just pick the stuff up from the search engine.

I myself wish he had time to defend himself? He was a nice guy even between his rare attacks, and there werent that many of them.

Just cant understand why he would do that?? its beyond me dont freaking get it?


And my utmost respect and Thanks for the clever work by Sani and SS Rat!!

I Recently went through this board from start to finish (Lurking for reasons some know about). There are some pretty major holes where stuff has been reported. Now I am sure there not all because of him but hundreds of files (perhaps even touching towards over 1000) are gone far too quickly not to be someone reporting.

Strangely he has left the mainstream threads alone. I have not found a single broken link there. Also if people go back and update links in an earlier page he has not picked up on it. He must be haunting page 1 of the forums always.

He may also not be alone I saw this post the other day in Noir's Thread

"There's something that is seriously troubling me...
Are those videos fake ?
Like... The actress doesn't get killed for real ?
It looks like too realistic... Could you explain me how they can make a death simulation like that please ?"

If someone can honestly believe such things are not fake (and this guy seems to almost believe) then they may take similar action. I am just glad most people who are not zealots are too lazy to go through every page and link like the rat.

I am still waiting for the day one someone asks how that so many of the Asian rape scenes have creampies when the guy is clearly wearing a condom ^_^.

Most of the stuff you responded to my post with made no sense to me and the picture I've gotten from ezzdx is that he isn't much more skilled with computers than I am.

My bondage picture thread was wiped out twice and those pictures did not feature any sex. Might be some issue with me posting those rougher films though...

I have heard you can buy that stuff from most stores in Japan.
