Won’t this slow down my downloads? you ask. So that you don’t look suspicious, SwarmScreen carefully adjusts random connections to appear the same as your real ones. SwarmScreen protects you by hiding your real BitTorrent traffic in a sea of connections to randomly selected torrents. With P2P networks increasingly under surveillance from private and government organizations, SwarmScreen provides a practical and effective solution to disrupt these attacks. Our recent study of the BitTorrent network shows that user connection patterns reveal strong communities that enable a guilt-by-association attack, where an entire community of users can be classified by monitoring one of its members. One of the reasons BitTorrent works so well is that it lets you download from large numbers of connections - but these same connections offer multiple of opportunities for eavesdropping. The main goal of this plugin is to make it harder for an attacker to figure out your downloading habits in BitTorrent.
