# Bitcoin Handshake
A PoC implementation of the Bitcoin handshake, performed between two nodes.
To simplify connecting to nodes, the implementation takes a [DNS seed](https://btcinformation.org/en/glossary/dns-seed) and gets a list of nodes to connect to and perform the handshake, as shown in the diagram below.

btc-handshake->>Node: version
Node->>btc-handshake: version
btc-handshake->>Node: verack
Node->>btc-handshake: verack
Node-->>btc-handshake: (other messages)
```
## Description
The code is split into two parts, the library containing the data structures relating to the
protocol, and a CLI tool to actually perform the handshake.
## Usage
```
Usage: btc-handshake [OPTIONS]
Arguments:
Bitcoin DNS seed domain
Options:
-p, --port Target's TCP port [default: 8333]
-t, --timeout Handshake timeout, in seconds [default: 5]
-n, --network Target network [default: mainnet] [possible values: mainnet, testnet, testnet3, signet]
-h, --help Print help
```
### Example

```
As we can see, some clients will skip the `verack` by sending an empty buffer (marked by `server skipped verack message`),
other clients will ignore the `verack` and start sending other messagess straight away.
### DNS Seeds
Here you can find a list of seeds the official Bitcoin node will attempt to resolve.
You can find the list on [bitcoin/bitcoin](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/1ac627c485a43e50a9a49baddce186ee3ad4daad/src/kernel/chainparams.cpp#L129-L142).
