Meow
zamadatix: The author has a fun website too: https://matdoes.dev/Complete with 88x31 buttons, sparkling star gifs, and a visit counter.
DeepYogurt: I guess this shows how low of a bar there is for getting something in as an ietf draft. Adds context for that ipv8 post from the other day for sure
crankoy: What is this idiotic stupid shit?
brianpane: This seems ill-advised. The protocol as documented is trivially exploitable by reflection attacks. The cat next door said one meow, and now every cat in the neighborhood is wailing in response.
teddyh: Disappointingly, this draft does not reference previous important and influential work in this field: <https://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf>.(Also available in video format: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL_-1d9OSdk>)
zdw: Dogs have the same failure mode, except also influenced by non-domesticated canines such as coyotes and wolves, so a worse attack vector.
hootz: Why?!
frantathefranta: It feels like a reply to the IPv8 draft[0] that got viral yesterday.[0]: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-thain-ipv8-00.html
cosmojg: Oh wow, yeah, this is clearly a parody of that IPv8 draft. Just look at the ASCII tables! I suppose it's a commentary on how low the bar is for submitting drafts to the IETF.
