2015-03-09Limit message sizes before transferPieter Wuille
This introduces a fixed limit for the size of p2p messages, and enforces it before download. Rebased-From: ba04c4a7801e7d68a5e84035b919e5c3626eb7a7 Github-Pull: #5843

2014-11-07Do not use third party services for IP detection.Gregory Maxwell
This is a simplified re-do of closed pull #3088. This patch eliminates the privacy and reliability problematic use of centralized web services for discovering the node's addresses for advertisement. The Bitcoin protocol already allows your peers to tell you what IP they think you have, but this data isn't trustworthy since they could lie. So the challenge is using it without creating a DOS vector. To accomplish this we adopt an approach similar to the one used by P2Pool: If we're announcing and don't have a better address discovered (e.g. via UPNP) or configured we just announce to each peer the address that peer told us. Since peers could already replace, forge, or drop our address messages this cannot create a new vulnerability... but if even one of our peers is giving us a good address we'll eventually make a useful advertisement. We also may randomly use the peer-provided address for the daily rebroadcast even if we otherwise have a seemingly routable address, just in case we've been misconfigured (e.g. by UPNP). To avoid privacy problems, we only do these things if discovery is enabled.

2014-10-14Headers-first synchronizationPieter Wuille
Many changes: * Do not use 'getblocks', but 'getheaders', and use it to build a headers tree. * Blocks are fetched in parallel from all available outbound peers, using a limited moving window. When one peer stalls the movement of the window, it is disconnected. * No more orphan blocks. At all. We only ever request a block for which we have verified the headers, and store it to disk immediately. This means that a disk-fill attack would require PoW. * Require protocol version 31800 for every peer (released in december 2010). * No more syncnode (we sync from everyone we can, though limited to 1 during initial *headers* sync). * Introduce some extra named constants, comments and asserts.

- ensures a consistent usage in header files - also add a blank line after the copyright header where missing - also remove orphan new-lines at the end of some files
2014-08-26Split up util.cpp/hWladimir J. van der Laan
Split up util.cpp/h into: - string utilities (hex, base32, base64): no internal dependencies, no dependency on boost (apart from foreach) - money utilities (parsesmoney, formatmoney) - time utilities (gettime*, sleep, format date): - and the rest (logging, argument parsing, config file parsing) The latter is basically the environment and OS handling, and is stripped of all utility functions, so we may want to rename it to something else than util.cpp/h for clarity (Matt suggested osinterface). Breaks dependency of sha256.cpp on all the things pulled in by util.

2014-07-17Convert closesocket 'compat wrapper' to function in netbaseWladimir J. van der Laan
Simpler alternative to #4348. The current setup with closesocket() is strange. It poses as a compatibility wrapper but adds functionality. Rename it and make it a documented utility function in netbase. Code movement only, zero effect on the functionality.

2014-07-09Introduce whitelisted peers.Pieter Wuille
This adds a -whitelist option to specify subnet ranges from which peers that connect are whitelisted. In addition, there is a -whitebind option which works like -bind, except peers connecting to it are also whitelisted (allowing a separate listen port for trusted connections). Being whitelisted has two effects (for now): * They are immune to DoS disconnection/banning. * Transactions they broadcast (which are valid) are always relayed, even if they were already in the mempool. This means that a node can function as a gateway for a local network, and that rebroadcasts from the local network will work as expected. Whitelisting replaces the magic exemption localhost had for DoS disconnection (local addresses are still never banned, though), which implied hidden service connects (from a localhost Tor node) were incorrectly immune to DoS disconnection as well. This old behaviour is removed for that reason, but can be restored using -whitelist=127.0.0.1 or -whitelist=::1 can be specified. -whitebind is safer to use in case non-trusted localhost connections are expected (like hidden services).

2014-06-11[Qt] allow setting listen via GUIPhilip Kaufmann
- add DEFAULT_LISTEN in net.h and use in the code (shared setting between core and GUI) Important: This makes it obvious, that we need to re-think the settings/options handling, as GUI settings are processed before any parameter-interaction (which is mostly important for network stuff) in AppInit2()!

... instead of after 30 minutes of no sending, for latency measurement and keep-alive. Also, disconnect if no reply arrives within 20 minutes, instead of 90 of inactivity (for peers supporting the 'pong' message).

2014-02-24Get rid of C99 PRI?64 usage in source filesWladimir J. van der Laan
Amend to d5f1e72. It turns out that BerkelyDB was including inttypes.h indirectly, so we cannot fix this with just macros. Trivial commit: apply the following script to all .cpp and .h files: # Middle sed -i 's/"PRIx64"/x/g' "$1" sed -i 's/"PRIu64"/u/g' "$1" sed -i 's/"PRId64"/d/g' "$1" # Initial sed -i 's/PRIx64"/"x/g' "$1" sed -i 's/PRIu64"/"u/g' "$1" sed -i 's/PRId64"/"d/g' "$1" # Trailing sed -i 's/"PRIx64/x"/g' "$1" sed -i 's/"PRIu64/u"/g' "$1" sed -i 's/"PRId64/d"/g' "$1" After this commit, `git grep` for PRI.64 should turn up nothing except the defines in util.h.
2014-02-22Don't use PRIx64 formatting derives from inttypes.hWladimir J. van der Laan
As the tinyformat-based formatting system (introduced in b77dfdc) is type-safe, no special format characters are needed to specify sizes. Tinyformat can support (ignore) the C99 prefixes such as "ll" but chokes on MSVC's inttypes.h defines prefixes such as "I64X". So don't include inttypes.h and define our own for compatibility. (an alternative would be to sweep the entire codebase using sed -i to get rid of the size specifiers but this has less diff impact)

2014-02-08Per-peer block download tracking and stalled download detection.Pieter Wuille
Keep track of which block is being requested (and to be requested) from each peer, and limit the number of blocks in-flight per peer. In addition, detect stalled downloads, and disconnect if they persist for too long. This means blocks are never requested twice, and should eliminate duplicate downloads during synchronization.

This was a leftover from the times in which peers.dat depended in BDB. Other functions in db.cpp still depend on BerkelyDB, to be able to compile without BDB this (small) functionality needs to be moved to another file.
