Hello, Suppose a malicious peer enters a peergroup and starts sending a lot of "remotePublish" or "query" SRDI messages. Are the rendezvous able to ignore these messages? How can they do that? I need this info because I want to implement a sort of "blacklist" of malicious peers. Moreover, I want to define some "roles", e.g. "searcher" = the peer is not able to publish, but it can search for... I know that the allowed actions of a peer can be set locally, through the AccessService. But I think this is not enough to guarantee that a peer performs only the actions for which it is authorized (a peer can be hackered...). There is a need for monitoring and blacklisting performed by the other peers of the peergroup (maybe by peers with "admin" role). Thanks p.s. sorry for crossposting but I did not receive this mail from [email protected], thus I think it has not been correctly received by that m.l.
