Ask HN: I've Built a DHT Torrent Sniffer and Search Engine. Should I Release?
20 by sylwester | 16 comments on Hacker News.
Recently I was researching about DHTs and developed a DHT Sniffer in Go which connects to some known DHT Routers and sniffs all the annoucements. I've quickly added ZincSearch and it is now basically a search engine which can search for hashes, name or files contained in the torrents. It is able to index around 5-10k annoucements per second, so the index grows quite fast. Now, I am thinking about releasing it as open-source for others to study, but not sure if I should, because it might be used for "evil".
