unfortunate that open-source Gnutella servents have a critical vulnerability - they cannot implement secure security features.

Of course ssh, SSL, PGP and all good commonly used secure protocols or hashs are available as open source.

So why security by obscurity? Instead of working on a better protocol, Bearshare tries (again) to get an advantage from proprietray extensions. Needless to say what's good for Bearshare isn't automatically good for Gnutella.
