Support for BEP52 (BitTorrent v2)

Open an0nfunc opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Support the 'new' (originally proposed in 2008) BitTorrent v2 as described in BEP 52 [1].

libtorrent just gained support for it, see [2].

SHA-1 chosen-prefix attacks are now in the USD 10k-100k range. This presents a very real threat, for example against bittorrent-distributed software that might be used by dissidents or whistleblowers.

BitTorrent v2 should be high priority now.
