More Anonymious then Gnutella

[jamis]

The Gnutella protocol is a SEARCH protocol. This is whole purpose. The filetransfers are all done with http puts and gets.

You can download a pdf of the Gnutella Protocol at the clip 2 site.

File transfers do NOT take place on the gnutella net....ever

You mean you used it and it didn't crash?

So far it is only for window.
They were talking about releasing the souce code in the forums.

An excellent document; I have a copy already... The only other thing I could want from it (besides for it to write itself into a client ) would be an explanation of BearShare's proprietary packets/ descriptor trailers. What the hell is proprietary doing on an Open network?!?

Any degree of centralization is a lawyers dream.
Think about it.

[lexiedarnell]

No it's not. Centralization up to a certain degree (if the central servers appear and disappear dynamically) doesn't make any difference.

The centralization of OpenFT resembles Fasttrack's Supernodes and Gnutella's Ultrapeers.

lol

Good question. Someone sniff one of those packets from a bearshare and lets have a look.....

Know any good no-NT sniffers.......???? does RedHat 7.1 come with a sniffer??

If anyone cracks one of the Bearshare packets please post the results right here....Please

We always count of duplication of files on the gnutella network to make the network work better. If this is basicly what OpenFT does, then we already have it due to the numbers of nodes on Gnutella.
In other words, it's not needed on gnutella.
