Mruset setInventoryKnown was reduced to a remarkably small 1000
entries as a side effect of sendbuffer size reductions in 2012.
This removes setInventoryKnown filtering from merkleBlock responses
because false positives there are especially unattractive and
also because I'm not sure if there aren't race conditions around
the relay pool that would cause some transactions there to
be suppressed. (Also, ProcessGetData was accessing
setInventoryKnown without taking the required lock.)
The setAskFor duplicate elimination was too eager and removed entries
when we still had no getdata response, allowing the peer to keep
INVing and not responding.
mapAlreadyAskedFor does not keep track of which peer has a request queued for a
particular tx. As a result, a peer can blind a node to a tx indefinitely by
sending many invs for the same tx, and then never replying to getdatas for it.
Each inv received will be placed 2 minutes farther back in mapAlreadyAskedFor,
so a short message containing 10 invs would render that tx unavailable for 20
minutes.
This is fixed by disallowing a peer from having more than one entry for a
particular inv in mapAlreadyAskedFor at a time.
- Force AUTHCOOKIE size to be 32 bytes: This provides protection against
an attack where a process pretends to be Tor and uses the cookie
authentication method to nab arbitrary files such as the
wallet
- torcontrol logging
- fix cookie auth
- add HASHEDPASSWORD auth, fix fd leak when fwrite() fails
- better error reporting when cookie file is not ok
- better init/shutdown flow
- stop advertizing service when disconnected from tor control port
- COOKIE->SAFECOOKIE auth
Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket
API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically.
https://stem.torproject.org/api/control.html#stem.control.Controller.create_ephemeral_hidden_service
This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available),
bitcoin automatically creates a hidden service to listen on, without user
manual configuration. This will positively affect the number of available
.onion nodes.
- When the node is started, connect to Tor through control socket
- Send `ADD_ONION` command
- First time:
- Make it create a hidden service key
- Save the key in the data directory for later usage
- Make it redirect port 8333 to the local port 8333 (or whatever port we're listening on).
- Keep control socket connection open for as long node is running. The hidden service will
(by default) automatically go away when the connection is closed.
* -maxuploadtarget can be set in MiB
* if <limit> - ( time-left-in-24h-cycle / 600 * MAX_BLOCK_SIZE ) has reach, stop serve blocks older than one week and filtered blocks
* no action if limit has reached, no guarantee that the target will not be surpassed
* add outbound limit informations to rpc getnettotals
Nagle appears to be a significant contributor to latency now that the static
sleeps are gone. Most of our messages are relatively large compared to
IP + TCP so I do not expect this to create enormous overhead.
This may also reduce traffic burstyness somewhat.
- to match the peers.dat handling also supply a debug.log entry for how
many entries were loaded from banlist.dat and how long it took
- add a GUI init message for loading the banlist (same as with peers.dat)
- move the same message for peers.dat upwards in the code, to be able to
reuse the timing variable nStart and also just log, if our read from
peers.dat didn't fail
- only start working on/with banlist data, if reading in the banlist from
disk didn't fail
- as CNode::setBannedIsDirty is false (default) when reading fails, we
don't need to explicitly set it to false to prevent writing
banlist.dat in that case either
`nMinPingUsecTime` was left uninitialized in CNode.
The correct initialization for a minimum-until-now is int64_t's max value, so initialize it to that.

While CBloomFilter is usually used with an explicitly set nTweak,
CRollingBloomFilter is only used internally. Requiring every caller to
set nTweak is error-prone and redundant; better to have the class handle
that for you with a high-quality randomness source.
Additionally when clearing the filter it makes sense to change nTweak as
well to recover from a bad setting, e.g. due to insufficient randomness
at initialization, so the clear() method is replaced by a reset() method
that sets a new, random, nTweak value.

This sets aside a number of connection slots for whitelisted peers,
useful for ensuring your local users and miners can always get in,
even if your limit on inbound connections has already been reached.
Use a probabilistic bloom filter to keep track of which addresses
we think we have given our peers, instead of a list.
This uses much less memory, at the cost of sometimes failing to
relay an address to a peer-- worst case if the bloom filter happens
to be as full as it gets, 1-in-1,000.
Measured memory usage of a full mruset setAddrKnown: 650Kbytes
Constant memory usage of CRollingBloomFilter addrKnown: 37Kbytes.
This will also help heap fragmentation, because the 37K of storage
is allocated when a CNode is created (when a connection to a peer
is established) and then there is no per-item-remembered memory
allocation.
I plan on testing by restarting a full node with an empty peers.dat,
running a while with -debug=addrman and -debug=net, and making sure
that the 'addr' message traffic out is reasonable.

Normally bitcoin core does not display any network originated strings without

This avoids connecting to them again too soon in ThreadOpenConnections.
Make an exception for connection failures to the proxy as these
shouldn't affect the status of specific nodes.
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.
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.
Avoids that SOCKS5 negotiation will hold up the shutdown process.
- Sockets can stay in non-blocking mode, no need to switch it on/off
anymore
- Adds a timeout (20 seconds) on SOCK5 negotiation. This should be
enough for even Tor to get a connection to a hidden service, and
avoids blocking the opencon thread indefinitely on a hanging proxy.
Fixes#2954.
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.

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).
- add a small wrapper in util around RAND_bytes() and replace with

bitcoin-config.h moved, but the old file is likely to still exist when
reconfiguring or switching branches. This would've caused files to not rebuild

... 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).
NodeSyncScore() should find the node which we recv data most recently, so put a negative sign to pnode->nLastRecv is indeed wrong.

- `localaddresses`: (array) local addresses, from mapLocalHost (fixes#1734)
The year is 2014. All supported operating systems have IPv6 support,
most certainly at build time (this doesn't mean that IPv6 is configured,
of course).
If noone is exercising the functionality to disable it, that means it
doesn't get tested, and IMO it's better to get rid of it.
(it's also not used consistently in RPC/boost and Net code...)
When we are over our outbound limit ThreadSocketHandler would try to
keep the connection if the peer was addnoded.
This didn't actually work for two reasons: It didn't actually run
the accept code due to mistaken code flow, and because we have a
limited number of outbound semaphores it couldn't actually use the
connection.
Instead it leaked the socket, which might have caused issue #4034.
This patch just takes out the non-functioning white-listing for now.
When bitcoind can't bind, bitcoin server (or Bitcoin Core Daemon) is probably already running. Add the missing word "server". Bitcoin itself is definitely running ;-)

The new class is accessed via the Params() method and holds
most things that vary between main, test and regtest networks.
The regtest mode has two purposes, one is to run the
bitcoind/bitcoinj comparison tool which compares two separate
implementations of the Bitcoin protocol looking for divergence.
The other is that when run, you get a local node which can mine
a single block instantly, which is highly convenient for testing
apps during development as there's no need to wait 10 minutes for
a block on the testnet.

Instead of killing a connection when the receive buffer overflows,
just temporarily halt receiving before that happens. Also, no
matter what, always allow at least one full message in the receive
buffer (otherwise blocks larger than the configured buffer size
would pause indefinitely).
This introduces the concept of the 'sync node', which is the one we
asked for missing blocks. In case the sync node goes away, a new one
will be selected.
For now, the heuristic is very simple, but it can easily be extended
later to add better policies.
It seems there were two mechanisms for assessing whether a CNode
was still in use: a refcount and a release timestamp. The latter
seems to have been there for a long time, as a safety mechanism.
However, this timer also keeps CNode objects alive for far longer
than necessary after disconnects, potentially opening up a DoS
window.
This commit removes the timestamp-based mechanism, and replaces
it with an assert(nRefCount >= 0), to verify that the refcounting
is indeed correctly working.
Two reasons for this change:
1. Need to always use boost::thread's sleep, even on Windows, so the
sleeps can be interrupted (prior code used Windows' built-in Sleep).
2. I always forgot what units the old Sleep took.
Create a boost::thread_group object at the qt/bitcoind main-loop level
that will hold pointers to all the main-loop threads.
This will replace the vnThreadsRunning[] array.
For testing, ported the BitcoinMiner threads to use its
own boost::thread_group.
This will result in re-requesting invs if we are under heavy inv
load, however as long as we get no more than 16,000 invs in two
minutes, this should have no effect on runtime behavior.
* Change CNode::vRecvMsg to be a deque instead of a vector (less copying)
* Make sure to acquire cs_vRecvMsg in CNode::CloseSocketDisconnect (as it
may be called without that lock).
1) "optimistic write": Push each message to kernel socket buffer immediately.
2) If there is write data at select time, that implies send() blocked
during optimistic write. Drain write queue, before receiving
any more messages.
This avoids needlessly queueing received data, if the remote peer
is not themselves receiving data.
Result: write buffer (and thus memory usage) is kept small, DoS
potential is slightly lower, and TCP flow control signalling is
properly utilized.
The kernel will queue data into the socket buffer, then signal the
remote peer to stop sending data, until we resume reading again.
Replaces CNode::vRecv buffer with a vector of CNetMessage's. This simplifies
ProcessMessages() and eliminates several redundant data copies.
Overview:
* socket thread now parses incoming message datastream into
header/data components, as encapsulated by CNetMessage
* socket thread adds each CNetMessage to a vector inside CNode
* message thread (ProcessMessages) iterates through CNode's CNetMessage vector
Message parsing is made more strict:
* Socket is disconnected, if message larger than MAX_SIZE
or if CMessageHeader deserialization fails (latter is impossible?).
Previously, code would simply eat garbage data all day long.
* Socket is disconnected, if we fail to find pchMessageStart.
We do not search through garbage, to find pchMessageStart. Each
message must begin precisely after the last message ends.
ProcessMessages() always processes a complete message, and is more efficient:
* buffer is always precisely sized, using CDataStream::resize(),
rather than progressively sized in 64k chunks. More efficient
for large messages like "block".
* whole-buffer memory copy eliminated (vRecv -> vMsg)
* other buffer-shifting memory copies eliminated (vRecv.insert, vRecv.erase)
Note that the default value for fRelayTxes is false, meaning we
now no longer relay tx inv messages before receiving the remote
peer's version message.
Client (SPV) mode never got implemented entirely, and whatever part was already
working, is likely not been tested (or even executed at all) for the past two
years. This removes it entirely.
If we want an SPV implementation, I think we should first get the block chain
data structures to be encapsulated in a class implementing a standard interface,
and then writing an alternate implementation with SPV semantics.
- "ThreadIRCSeed started" was not displayed, even if the thread ran

Because new nodes pull from the first connected node the load
balancing of the first connection is more important than it should
be. This change puts Pieter's seed first, because its probably
the best maintained right now.
Bitcoin will not make an outbound connection to a network group
(/16 for IPv4) that it is already connected to. This means that
if an attacker wants good odds of capturing all a nodes outbound
connections he must have hosts on a a large number of distinct
groups.
Previously both inbound and outbound connections were used to
feed this exclusion. The use of inbound connections, which can be
controlled by the attacker, actually has the potential of making
sibyl attacks _easier_: An attacker can start up hosts in groups
which house many honest nodes and make outbound connections to
the victim to exclude big swaths of honest nodes. Because the
attacker chooses to make the outbound connection he can always
beat out honest nodes for the consumption of inbound slots.
At _best_ the old behavior increases attacker costs by a single
group (e.g. one distinct group to use to fill up all your inbound
slots), but at worst it allows the attacker to select whole
networks you won't connect to.
This commit makes the nodes use only outbound links to exclude
network groups for outbound connections. Fancier things could
be done, like weaker exclusion for inbound groups... but
simplicity is good and I don't believe more complexity is
currently needed.
- Signals now go directly from the core to WalletModel/ClientModel.
- WalletModel subscribes to signals on CWallet: Prepares for multi-wallet support, by no longer assuming an implicit global wallet.
- Gets rid of noui.cpp, the few lines that were left are merged into init.cpp
- Rename wxXXX message flags to MF_XXX, to make them UI indifferent.
- ThreadSafeMessageBox no longer returns the value `4` which was never used, converted to void.
Gets rid of `MainFrameRepaint` in favor of specific update functions that tell the UI exactly what changed.
This improves the efficiency of various handlers. Also fixes problems with mined transactions not showing up until restart.
The following notifications were added:
- `NotifyBlocksChanged`: Block chain changed
- `NotifyKeyStoreStatusChanged`: Wallet status (encrypted, locked) changed.
- `NotifyAddressBookChanged`: Address book entry changed.
- `NotifyTransactionChanged`: Wallet transaction added, removed or updated.
- `NotifyNumConnectionsChanged`: Number of connections changed.
- `NotifyAlertChanged`: New, updated or cancelled alert. As this finally makes it possible for the UI to know when a new alert arrived, it can be shown as OS notification.
These notifications could also be useful for RPC clients. However, currently, they are ignored in bitcoind (in noui.cpp).
Also brings back polling with timer for numBlocks in ClientModel. This value updates so frequently during initial download that the number of signals clogs the UI thread and causes heavy CPU usage. And after initial block download, the value changes so rarely that a delay of half a second until the UI updates is unnoticable.
Introduce a boolean variable for each "network" (ipv4, ipv6, tor, i2p),
and track whether we are likely to able to connect to it. Addresses in
"addr" messages outside of our network get limited relaying and are not
stored in addrman.
This will make bitcoin relay valid routable IPv6 addresses, and when
USE_IPV6 is enabled, listen on IPv6 interfaces and attempt connections
to IPv6 addresses.
Change internal HTTP JSON-RPC server from single-threaded to
thread-per-connection model. The IP filter list is applied prior to starting

A mutex covers the entire RPC operation, because not all RPC operations are

-externalip=<ip> can be used to explicitly set the public IP address

IP discovery system.
Keep a global counter for nOutbound, protected with its own waitable
critical section, and wait when all outbound slots are filled, rather
than polling.
This removes the (on average) 1 second delay between a lost connection
and a new connection attempt, and may speed up shutdowns.
not process any already received messages.
The primary reason to do this is if a node spams hundreds of messages
and we ban them, we don't want to continue processing the rest of it.
Design goals:
* Only keep a limited number of addresses around, so that addr.dat does not grow without bound.
* Keep the address tables in-memory, and occasionally write the table to addr.dat.
* Make sure no (localized) attacker can fill the entire table with his nodes/addresses.
See comments in addrman.h for more detailed information.
* do not let vnThreadsRunning[1] go negative
* do not perform locking operations while vnThreadsRunning[1] is decreased

interal IP with its external IP in version messages, causing
incorrect checksums when version messages begin being checksummed
on February 14, 2012.
This also avoids flushing setAddrKnown until 24 hours has passed,
and avoids contacting the external IP services when not listening.
Advertising non-listening nodes is just addr message spam.
It doesn't help the network, in fact it hurts the network,
and it also hurts user's privacy.
Advertising far out of sync nodes doesn't help the network—
they can't even forward (most) transactions and wastes nodes
outbound slots.
This turns on most gcc warnings, and removes some unused variables and other code that triggers warnings.
Exceptions are:
-Wno-sign-compare : triggered by lots of comparisons of signed integer to foo.size(), which is unsigned.
-Wno-char-subscripts : triggered by the convert-to-hex functions (I may fix this in a future commit).
This introduces CNetAddr and CService, respectively wrapping an
(IPv6) IP address and an IP+port combination. This functionality used
to be part of CAddress, which also contains network flags and
connection attempt information. These extra fields are however not
always necessary.
These classes, along with logic for creating connections and doing
name lookups, are moved to netbase.{h,cpp}, which does not depend on
headers.h.
Furthermore, CNetAddr is mostly IPv6-ready, though IPv6
functionality is not yet enabled for the application itself.
Made three critical blocks for cs_mapAddresses smaller, and moved
writing to the database out of them. This should also improve the
concurrency of the code.
Replaced all occurrences of #if* __WXMSW__ with WIN32,
and all occurrences of __WXMAC_OSX__ with MAC_OSX, and made
sure those are defined appropriately in the makefile and bitcoin-qt.pro.
Explicitly make these global variables less-global to reduce the maximum
scope of this global state.
In my experience global variables tend to be a major source of bugs. As
such the less accessible they are the less likely they are to be the
source of a bug.

Don't check for a negative parameter count, because not only will it
never happen, it doesn't make any sense either.
Invalid sockets (as returned by socket(2)) are always exactly -1 (not
just negative as negative file descriptors are technically not
prohibited by POSIX) on POSIX systems. Since we store them in SOCKET
(unsigned int), however, that really is ~0U (or MAX_UINT) which happens
to be what INVALID_SOCKET is already defined to, so an additional check
for being negative is not only unnecessary (unsigned integers aren't
*ever* negative) its redundant as well (the INVALID_SOCKET comparison is
enough).

Introduce SendBufferSize() and ReceiveBufferSize(), and limit
the blocks sent as response to the "getblocks" message to
half of the active send buffer size.
* A new class CKeyStore manages private keys, and script.cpp depends on access to CKeyStore.
* A new class CWallet extends CKeyStore, and contains all former wallet-specific globals; CWallet depends on script.cpp, not the other way around.
* Wallet-specific functions in CTransaction/CTxIn/CTxOut (GetDebit, GetCredit, GetChange, IsMine, IsFromMe), are moved to CWallet, taking their former 'this' argument as an explicit parameter
* CWalletTx objects know which CWallet they belong to, for convenience, so they have their own direct (and caching) GetDebit/... functions.
* Some code was moved from CWalletDB to CWallet, such as handling of reserve keys.
* Main.cpp keeps a set of all 'registered' wallets, which should be informed about updates to the block chain, and does not have any notion about any 'main' wallet. Function in main.cpp that require a wallet (such as GenerateCoins), take an explicit CWallet* argument.
* The actual CWallet instance used by the application is defined in init.cpp as "CWallet* pwalletMain". rpc.cpp and ui.cpp use this variable.
* Functions in main.cpp and db.cpp that are not used by other modules are marked static.
* The code for handling the 'submitorder' message is removed, as it not really compatible with the idea that a node is independent from the wallet(s) connected to it, and obsolete anyway.
Use non-blocking connects, and a select() call to wait a predefined
time (5s by default, but configurable with -timeout) for either
success or failure. This allows much more connections to be tried
per time unit.
Based on a patch by phantomcircuit.
