I can create a torrent. But how do I insure none of my computer's personal information and identifiers are saved on that file? I dont want me to be found out if someone opens the file and somehow can see I'm the one who created it.

In other hand, how do the pirates create and upload media into torrents while protecting themself from being found out?

I try a Hex viewer program on my Linux. Here is a snapshot with some parameters hidden with black. That is just the title of the file. Ex: "My Movie.mkv"

Most of this is encoded and I don't understand what I'm readingg. Is there a way to translate this?

It is very large hex file. But I scroll through it and I have not seen anything that identifies me. Things like computer name, OS, IP address, date and time. But I am not sure as it is large file.

Edit: Not sure what went error with my snapshot. It got cut off but you can still see parameters.

I actually know very little about this whole topic. Very mysterious and interesting stuff. Apparently printers do stuff like that too
