Yep. That's one way to attack the network.
- computer 13y agoMy CPU-limited nodes lost several MB/s in bandwidth, which I now suspect is caused by this. Note that the handshake is the CPU-limited part, so a CPU-limited node benefits (in terms of MB/s) from having few clients which use high bandwidth, the opposite of these bots.
