  1. Tits & Bits - pr0n 2.0 Matt Peterson matt@videobox.com

  2. Industry • Yes, full of frat boys (not everyone) • "Conferences" put hacker drinking to shame, ie: bars open @ 9AM or never close • Events literally every 3 weeks, international & US focus - Internext/AVN, XBIZ, Webmaster Access, Phoenix Forum, Cybernet Expo, … • Growing number of "professionals", the industry is growing up - slowly • Hustler lost $ in late 90s online, old media still catching up to modern user habits • DRM being a great example of this

  3. Industry cont. • Weird ecosystem of gallery pages, search engines, affiliates, member areas, etc that all command different "traffic deals" in terms of banner ad's, "consoles" (pop-up's), revenue share, etc • Blacklist of terms for search engine G & Y seem to change weekly, hard to find broker, internal politics • US title § 2257 is a mixed blessing • A tier-1 ISP went though every "teen" title we had on a conf call to approve us • Automatically excluded for bestiality, some hentai, etc • Hardcore (insex.com) hosted in Netherlands • See adultwhoswho.com and/or trade mags for more

  4. Biz model is vertical, our brand(s), our technology, our network, our own self inflected problems • Alexa: 1962 ranking, Netcraft: 3264 • Technology focused, preferred to make money from day 1, thus choice of adult content vs. user-generated or other Google-bait • Indirect competitors in VOD: HotMovies, AEBN • 30 video download req/sec • Add ~3Tb of content each month • License content directly from studios, no on-site shooting • ping ioerror for juicy day job details @ kink.com • We're small compared to adult hosting companies • FlyingCroc/Accretive = SexTracker; Jupiter Hosting = GFY • DTI, ISPrime, Choopa, CWIE, NationalNet, etc - again, all of em >5-40Gb/s (years before MySpace or YouTube showed up on the scene) • For some mainstream comparison: YouTube >150Gb/s, MySpace >60Gb/s, all in-house, non-CDN figures

  5. diff • Base feature is filmstrip pick-n-wank UI of custom WMV8

  6. patch < real soon now Modern “web 2.0” feature (all of this in beta, ping me for a login) • Lucene-powered search: Y studio + X star + Z genre • Codec friendly: WMV9 (mobile/set top), H264 (set top), FLV • RSS: Support for “set top” AppleTV, Netgear, etc • Flash player: our usual filmstrip, loop'ing, tags, mash-up’s • Recommendation engine • end goal is zero hand navigation, similar to Amazon w/ one-click to buy • you've been watching X seconds, others who like these seconds also like Y seconds…

  7. /dcc • Ripping farm • 15 encoders (Dell OptiPlex 745 - Core Duo 2.4Ghz E6600/4Mb cache) • 3 rippers (random desktops, store VOB’s temporarily) • 1 DVD jukebox (configured w/ 150 discs at a time) - SCSI lives! • 24 hrs to process 200 DVD’s (start to finish) • rip VOB, encode, transcode, metadata, rsync to colo

  8. “speed test” • Typical analysis is Netflow or sFlow, network is vendor C, no sFlow love, our alternative: • Apache “access_log” for video downloads logged to SQL w/ ASN info & download Kb/s (mod_log_firstbyte) • Allows us to route-map to other ISP's to tune "best route" • We are very aggressive to fix customer complaints • internal SLA is 200Kb/s or better • hard for US (AS7018 & AS7922 = big mess) • easy for Asia & somewhat for Euro • UK is traffic shaping hell - ever heard of a "Fair Use Policy”? • Data has also been useful • Geo IP/Google API • Gay vs. Straight and/or red. vs. blue states

  9. security • Not usual XSS & htpasswd problems • Many sites PHP based, not us • Most billers prefer to FTP a htpasswd file or do raw SQL • Extremely rare to have a real API *sigh* • Aggressive download managers • 20 simultaneous of 20Kb will speed up my DL, right!#@? • Custom Apache modules • limit simultaneous IP connections & Req/Sec, no limit on bandwidth • Can't completely limit against src IP (lots of proxies, some w/o Via or XFF headers); limit based on session ID instead • Users with malware, DNS hijacking • No longer system32/hosts hacking, registry exploits

  10. Colo email • Matt, • I think when Meta first signed up here at XXX we received quite a few free passwords. Apparently most of these expired fairly recently. Is there any chance you can send over some new ones? It would be greatly appreciated. • Thank you, • AXX DXXXXXXXX • General Manager • ZZZ Inc. • “The World’s Finest Data Centers”

  11. actual SVN email • Modified: • trunk/config/session/session_conf_root.xml • Log: • Tranny is coming up a little too frequently - reducing configured % • Modified: trunk/config/session/session_conf_root.xml • =================================================================== • --- trunk/config/session_conf_root.xml 2006-11-18 17:36:07 UTC (rev 3066) • +++ trunk/config/session_conf_root.xml 2006-11-18 17:52:00 UTC (rev 3067) • @@ -411,7 +411,7 @@ • <category> <name>Transsexual</name> • <id>53</id> • - <target_percent>.0140</target_percent> • + <target_percent>.0050</target_percent> • <convergence_weight>100</convergence_weight> • <streak_weight>1.0</streak_weight> • </category>
