Alex Pankratov gave that 50% number on p2p-hackers in 2006. Around the
same time allmydata.com implemented UPnP in their proprietary product (the
one that preceded Tahoe) and measured the success rate among allmydata.com
customers. Unfortunately I don't have or remember the numbers. We should
ask Jim McCoy and Rob Kinninmont if they have or remember the results.
I assume that deployment and robustness of UPnP has improved since then.
;-)
Because of foolscap's nice design of using multiple connection hints in
parallel and requiring strong SSL authentication, a broken UPnP
implementation suggesting a wrong IP address and port number wouldn't do
any harm, right?
