that's an obvious lie. Vinnie, we are not all unskilled users. Your encryption sheme is proprietray and undocumented, no other GDF member does use it. Commonly known as security through obscurity.

So when you hear someone say "security through obscurity" in the context of BearShare, this is clear sign that they don't know what they are talking about.
you need a little bit more then insulting or badmouthing open source software. Please read the thread on Zeropaid (link above). It explains why so called secure channels can not work, why it's a pure marketing gag.

I know Vinnie tries to give himself an übercoder attitude. He likes to talk about multithreading, completition ports and encryption. All sounds great for unskilled users but after a closer look it's marketing most times. The so called secure channels provide no security in real world, they split Gnutella.

LOL Vinnie, I'm sure any server without internet connection can get a great NSCA firewall certification. Oh wait I have a even better idea, switch off the server, it's totally secure then and can not be attacked.
