| Net2EZ owned by MediaDefender Today, while torrenting, I noticed my Peer Guardian was simply being bombarded with inward requests for something from a company labeled Net2EZ. I Googled them and discovered their IPs are registered under a name that appears to make them look like a LA art company but their real owner is MediaDefender (not a friend). For 2 hours I watched Net2EZ continually bombard my computer with requests for data while Peer Guardian blocked it. I finally got sick of the whole thing and set up a block in my router to stop any data from 72.172.85.1 through 72.172.95.254 from even getting past my router.
I did see when Googling Net2EZ that other people have noticed this "bombardment" of requests, more than once per second from this IP which uses a number of different IP addresses within the range given above and different port numbers. |

Dallas, TX | I haven't really seen any of MD's Net2EZ ranges on Azureus;
it likely depends on what torrents you are downloading/
seeding. They must not be all that interested in unlicensed
anime, as that is what I primarily download on BitTorrent.
I see Algerie Telecom in the 41.221.16.0-41.221.19.255 range
hitting much more often than most others on BT.
I normally don't use PG in Azureus, but rather load the
blocklist directly into its IP filters. That way if a false
positive (which are quite common) block on a given torrent
occurs, I can exclude it. (But I never exclude any of the
major anti-p2p enforcers, such as BayTSP, MediaDefender,
Macrovision, MediaSentry and so on).
WinMX, on the other hand is a different story. The MD
Net2EZ ranges bombard Primary users there quite often,
mostly from the 72.172.89.x and 72.172.91.x ranges.

MediaDefender are definitely bombarding WinMX users with
attempted secondary connections (fake file servers) quite
heavily tonight. I was online from about 6 PM to 10:25 PM,
and had over 7000 hits in my firewall packet logs from them.
That's the most I've ever seen.
