NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[ImmortAlex]

BCNext decided to make it more interesting to do a review, so the code will contain 3 security flaws - serious, critical and fatal ones.

This is great idea!
A lot of open source software with critical functionality stay untested and unreviewed just because everyone idly consider "open source means no backdoors, no big flaws". Just remember famous OpenSSL random bug!...

Yeah, this guy is full of great ideas.
But others have to implement them.

Version 0.3.18 - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67242472/nxt.zip

Enabled hallmark protection for outbound requests
Added code for migration to non-standard ports for peer communication
Added code for migration to other blockchain file format (check "blockchainStoragePath" in web.xml, u can use absolute paths)
Added http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getUnconfirmedTransactionIds

If u announce address of ur host via "myAddress" u must set it to the "host" value returned by http://otherserver.com:7874/nxt?requestType=getMyInfo . In one of the next versions nodes will begin checking that it matches the address returned by http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/ServletRequest.html#getRemoteHost()

More info about the hallmark protection

Now marked hosts will attract more traffic. There r 2 types of outbound requests - Send (for getting unknown unconfirmed transactions, for blockchain downloading) and SendToAll (for pushing blocks and transactions). Send picks one of the connected peers depending on their weight (weighted random hit is made), peers with weight = 0 r considered as having weight = 1. SendToAll sends data to peers according to their weights in descending order.


NB: Those who update to 0.3.18, please, keep 0.3.17 somewhere just in case. Blockchain is dumped to "blockchain.nrs" file when client is closed by pressing CTRL+C.
