This functionality has been requested for various reasons: - security (DoS): reject messages can reveal internal state that can be used to target certain resources such as the mempool more easily. - bandwidth: a typical node sends lots of reject messages; this counts against upstream bandwidth. Also the reject messages tend to be larger than the message that was rejected. On the other hand, reject messages can be useful while developing client software (I found them indispensable while creating bitcoin-submittx), as well as for our own test cases, so whatever the default becomes on the long run, IMO the functionality should be retained as option. But that's a discussion for later, for now it's simply a node operator decision. Also adds a RPC test that checks the functionality.

9ad6746ccd Use static_cast instead of C-style casts for non-fundamental types (practicalswift) Pull request description: A C-style cast is equivalent to try casting in the following order: 1. `const_cast(...)` 2. `static_cast(...)` 3. `const_cast(static_cast(...))` 4. `reinterpret_cast(...)` 5. `const_cast(reinterpret_cast(...))` By using `static_cast<T>(...)` explicitly we avoid the possibility of an unintentional and dangerous `reinterpret_cast`. Furthermore `static_cast<T>(...)` allows for easier grepping of casts. For a more thorough discussion, see ["ES.49: If you must use a cast, use a named cast"](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#es49-if-you-must-use-a-cast-use-a-named-cast) in the C++ Core Guidelines (Stroustrup & Sutter).

2018-01-24net: Move misbehaving logging to net logging categoryWladimir J. van der Laan
This moves the error messages for misbehavior (when available) into the line that reports the misbehavior, as well as moves the logging to the `net` category. This is a continuation of #11583 and avoids serious-looking errors due to misbehaving peers. To do this, Misbehaving() gains an optional `message` argument. E.g. change: 2018-01-18 16:02:27 Misbehaving: x.x.x.x:62174 peer=164603 (80 -> 100) BAN THRESHOLD EXCEEDED 2018-01-18 16:02:27 ERROR: non-continuous headers sequence to 2018-01-18 16:02:27 Misbehaving: x.x.x.x:62174 peer=164603 (80 -> 100) BAN THRESHOLD EXCEEDED: non-continuous headers sequence

fbf327b Minimal code changes to allow msvc compilation. (Aaron Clauson) Pull request description: These changes are required to allow the Bitcoin source to build with Microsoft's C++ compiler (#11562 is also required). I looked around for a better place for the typedef of ssize_t which is in random.h. The best candidate looks like src/compat.h but I figured including that header in random.h is a bigger change than the typedef. Note that the same typedef is in at least two other places including the OpenSSL and Berkeley DB headers so some of the Bitcoin code already picks it up.

We should generally avoid writing to debug.log unconditionally for inbound peers which misbehave (the peer being about to be banned being an exception, since they cannot do this twice). To avoid removing logs for outbound peers, a new log is added to notify users when a new outbound peer is connected which mimics the version print.

If our tip hasn't updated in a while, that may be because our peers are not relaying blocks to us that we would consider valid. Allow connection to an additional outbound peer in that circumstance. Also, periodically check to see if we are exceeding our target number of outbound peers, and disconnect the one which has least recently announced a new block to us (choosing the newest such peer in the case of tie).

block (more effeciently) f3d4adf Make p2p-acceptablock not an extended test (Matt Corallo) 00dcda6 [qa] test that invalid blocks on an invalid chain get a disconnect (Matt Corallo) 015a525 Reject headers building on invalid chains by tracking invalidity (Matt Corallo) 932f118 Accept unrequested blocks with work equal to our tip (Matt Corallo) 3d9c70c Stop always storing blocks from whitelisted peers (Matt Corallo) 3b4ac43 Rewrite p2p-acceptblock in preparation for slight behavior changes (Matt Corallo) Pull request description: @sdaftuar pointed out that the version in #11487 was somewhat DoS-able as someone could feed you a valid chain that forked off the the last checkpoint block and force you to do lots of work just walking backwards across blocks for each new block they gave you. We came up with a few proposals but settled on the one implemented here as likely the simplest without obvious DoS issues. It uses our existing on-load mapBlockIndex walk to make sure everything that descends from an invalid block is marked as such, and then simply caches blocks which we attempted to connect but which were found to be invalid. To avoid DoS issues during IBD, this will need to depend on #11458. Includes tests from #11487.

2017-10-31Stop always storing blocks from whitelisted peersMatt Corallo
There is no reason to wish to store blocks on disk always just because a peer is whitelisted. This appears to be a historical quirk to avoid breaking things when the accept limits were added.
2017-10-30Do not send (potentially) invalid headers in response to getheadersMatt Corallo
Nowhere else in the protocol do we send headers which are for blocks we have not fully validated except in response to getheaders messages with a null locator. On my public node I have not seen any such request (whether for an invalid block or not) in at least two years of debug.log output, indicating that this should have minimal impact.
