  • Setting up python environment.
  • Get the info_hash from the info dictionary in the .torrent file.

'd14:failure reason63:Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker.e'

The first few meeting we will follow a very nice tutorial about how to write a bittorrent protocol.

  • read bittorrent specification
  • Use Wireshark to sniff the traffic of a bittorrent session (from loading a tracker file to the complete download of a file).
  • View a .torrent file in a text editor.
