-Hardening request packets are sent as crypto request packets (see crypto docs.)
-NOTE: currently only get nodes requests are tested in the code which is why
-there is only one test (more will be added soon.)
-
-All hardening requests must contain exactly 768 bytes of data. (The data sent
-must be padded with zeros if it is smaller than that.)
-
-1. Get the information (IP_port, client_id) of the node we want to test.
-2. Find a couple random nodes that is not that node (one for each test.)
-3. Send crypto request packets to each of these random nodes with the data being:
-
-[byte with value: 02 (get nodes test request)][struct Node_format (the node to
-test.)][client_id(32 bytes) the id to query the node with.][padding]
-
-4. The random node receives a packet.
--The packet is a get nodes test request:
- send a get_node request to that node with the id to query in the request.
- when a send_node response is received, send the following response to the
- person who sent us the get nodes test request packet:
- [byte with value: 03 (get nodes test response)][client_id(32 bytes):
- the id of the tested node][The list of nodes it responded with in IPv6
- Node format (struct Node_Format)]
- PROTIP: (get node requests and response contain an encrypted part that you
- can use to store information so that you don't
- have to store in your memory where/if to send back the response from the
- send node)
-
-5. Receive the test responses.
--If the test(s) pass (the nodes behave in a satisfactory manner), make these
-nodes have priority over those who don't pass the test(s).
