Don't use random DHT IDs #6

@inetic

Description

@inetic

There is an extension that suggests how to derive these IDs based on the IP address

http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0042.html

Not implementing it may:

  • have us ignored by BT nodes that check for it
  • make us susceptible to the attacks discussed in the extension
