Overview:

BitTorrent is a popular peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol that utilizes a central server, known as a "Tracker", to coordinate connections between peers in a "Swarm", a term used to describe a BitTorrent ad-hoc file sharing network. The tracker of a swarm is specified by the original file distributor and trusted unconditionally by peers in the swarm. This central point of control provides an opportunity for a file distributor to deploy a modified tracker to provide peers in a swarm with malicious coordination data, directing peer connection traffic toward an arbitrary target machine on an arbitrary service port.
