How Tridge reverse engineered BitKeeperHow Tridge reverse engineered BitKeeperPosted Apr 21, 2005 13:50 UTC (Thu) by hppnq (guest, #14462)In reply to: How Tridge reverse engineered BitKeeper by njhurst Parent article: How Tridge reverse engineered BitKeeper Of course not. Telnet to port 80 at your favourite site and GET /whatever_url_seems_right and then draw the conclusion that, because you get HTML, the webserver simply spits out (static) HTML. That would be a stupid conclusion for most sites/webpages. So, what interests me, is why would Tridge want to share this with us?!

Perhaps because he's tired of being accused of doing something wrong? In particular, "How could Tridge possibly investigate the Bitkeeper protocol w/o violating the BK license?" Well, here's how you do it.

Andrew, during his talk, said (paraphrased) "People keep believeing I'm a reverse engineering wizard. I'm not. Let me show you the process for BitKeeper"
All the commands Tridge subsequently ran, were shouted out by the audience. The talk was recorded but I am not sure if/where it is available though.
