List of possible attacks on the current DHT:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
create thousands of fake nodes cloning one client_id and flood our DHT with
|
||
|
|
them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
create thousands of "real" nodes that do nothing but shit up our DHT with fake
|
||
|
|
crap.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Possible solutions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each client_id is the public key of the peer so it would be trivial to encrypt
|
||
|
|
the DHT requests with crypto_box(). This would completely defeat the first
|
||
|
|
attack.
