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.

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.
