How come it is hard to find leaks like these on popular torrent websites? I would expect it is very fast going from finding code like this to creating a torrent? Are these torrent websites legitimately scared of having content like this?

    The people who follow this stuff already know exactly where to look. Why bother with a torrent when there are direct links on countless grey-hat and opsec forums already.

    Not that many people are scrambling to look...

    It's being shared in some IRC servers I frequent.

      Are you keeping these IRC servers secret because you think exposure here might hurt them?

        They're not open to the public - it's an old workplace and invited friends of friends. Not the kind of thing to be posting to millions here.

    I don't know much about how Twitter would structure its repos, but it seems weird that all four directories begin with 'a'. Was the leaker uploading them alphabetically before getting shut down?

    A...

    A...

    A...

    The old alphabetical copy that gets interrupted when the storage medium is full?
