Hi!
I'm looking for a hub that if a non-registered user tries to connect to,
the hub will "play dead" and look broken, or better yet, appear as if
it DOES NOT EXIST!
do you know anything like that?
Thank you!
Looking for a Stealth Hub!

This isn't feasible from a protocol point of view. It is possible to accomplish something similar - denying access to the hub's port except for the IPs (or IP ranges, if they're dynamic) that your users are on. A firewall should be able to accomplish that for you. You'll have to manually administer the lists, but it's the closest thing to what you're looking for.

thanks!
i can't use IP because it is not static and the range covers people i don't want knowing about the hub....
until i find a better solution, i use PtokaX and give a desription that may be thought of as bad address... to the untrained eye
it looks like this:

it looks like this:
i wish i could at least change the <PtokaX> to something like <Failure>...[17:34] *** Connecting to hub.cometo.org...
[17:34] *** Connected
[17:34] <PtokaX> Unable to connect! address may be incorrect.
[17:34] *** Connection closed
