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.
(suggestions for better tests welcome)
Normally bitcoin core does not display any network originated strings without
sanitizing or hex encoding. This wasn't done for strcommand in many places.
This could be used to play havoc with a terminal displaying the logs,
especially with printtoconsole in use.
Thanks to Evil-Knievel for reporting this issue.

Rebased-From: 28d4cff0ed
Github-Pull: #5770
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.
- 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
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.

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.

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).
- remove an unneded else in ConnectNode()
- make 0 a double and change to 0.0 in ConnectNode()
- rename strDest to pszDest in OpenNetworkConnection()
- remove an unneded call to our REF() macro in BindListenPort()
- small style cleanups and removal of unneeded new-lines
- 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).

Adds two new info query commands that take over information from
hodge-podge `getinfo`.
Also some new information is added:
- `getblockchaininfo`
- `chain`: (string) current chain (main, testnet3, regtest)
- `verificationprogress: (numeric) estimated verification progress
- `chainwork`
- `getnetworkinfo`
- `localaddresses`: (array) local addresses, from mapLocalHost (fixes#1734)
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.
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)
contrib/devtools/fix-copyright-headers.py script to be able to perform this maintenance task with ease during the rest of the year, every year. Modifications to contrib/devtools/README.md to document what fix-copyright-headers.py does.
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.
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
INIT_PROTO_VERSION is the initial version, after a succesful version/verack it is increased to a negotiated version.
MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION could be a different value to disconnect from peers older than a specified version.
The existing CNode::addrLocal member is revealed to the user,
as an address string, similar to the existing "addr" field.
Instead of showing garbage or empty string,
it simply will not appear in the output if local address not known yet.
New RPC "ping" command to request ping.
Implemented "pong" message handler.
New "pingtime" field in getpeerinfo, to provide results to user.
New "pingwait" field, to show pings still in flight, to better see newly lagging peers.
This reduces a peer's ability to attack network resources by
using a full bloom filter, but without reducing the usability
of bloom filters. It sets a default match everything filter
for peers and it generalizes a prior optimization to
cover more cases.
Added explicit include of main.h in init.cpp, changed include of init.h to include of main.h in net.cpp.
Added function registration for net.cpp in init.cpp's network initialization.
Removed protocol.cpp's dependency on main.h.
TODO: Remove main.h include in net.cpp.
