uTorrent 1.8.2 build 15167 with DHT patch

This patched copy of uTorrent removes the restrictions on torrents marked as private, allowing uTorrent to use DHT, Peer Exchange and Local Peer Discovery to look for new peers when it is normally not allowed. How it works ------------ In its internal data structures, uTorrent uses four bits in one byte of data per torrent to record these settings. bit # 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 \ | | / | | | | not used | | | DHT enabled (default: 1) (set to 0) | | | | | private torrent | | | Peer Exchange enabled (default: 1) | Local Peer Discovery enabled (default: 1) When a torrent file is added, uTorrent checks the "info" section for an integer value named "private". If it's set to 1, it marks the private torrent bit in the byte shown above, which forces the other information in this byte to be ignored. This byte is also saved in the resume.dat file (a bencoded file that uTorrent uses to save its state) as an integer value named "dht". The patch works by storing the private torrent flag in bit 7 instead of bit 1 so that all the code in uTorrent that checks bit 1 to determine if this is a private torrent will always find that it isn't. However, it writes the "dht" value out to the resume.dat normally, so if you start an unpatched copy of uTorrent your private torrents will still be private. The extra code to do this is placed at the end of the .text segment and its virtual size increased accordingly. Reproducing the patch --------------------- Here are the steps required to apply the patch; you will need UPX version 3.03 and a hex editor: 1. Decompress the uTorrent.exe file using the following command: upx -d uTorrent.exe 2. Open the uTorrent.exe file in a hex editor and change the following: position old bytes new bytes -------- ------------------------ ------------------------ 200 BC E8 530B 50 68 0C CB 45 00 E9 AC 5F 05 00 90 8574 02 80 BCEC 8A 4E 41 80 E1 F7 E9 E0 F5 04 00 90 5B2BC 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 8B C8 80 E1 80 C1 E9 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0B C1 50 68 0C BB 45 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 E9 3F A0 FA FF 8B C8 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 E1 02 C0 E9 06 24 FD 0B 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 C1 8A 4E 41 80 E1 0A E9 00 00 00 00 09 0A FB FF 3. The digital signature is now invalid. Remove it from the file by deleting everything after position 8F000. 4. Recompress the file using this command: upx --ultra-brute uTorrent.exe 5. This will produce a file of size 267264 bytes. The patch is now complete and should be identical to the file in this torrent.
