In partial answer to my own question, it looks like gnutella is some
sort of file exchange system, distributed, and designed to search for
other gnutella sites. I'm guessing someone is trying to search for
security flaws in it, and probably the original version is for mp3 or
other copyright material exchange. Does anyone else know anything about
it?
