A Counter-Strike: Source (CS:S) Skin Mod in the Packs category, by natko. Geth binaries and mobile libraries are available on the Geth download page. This release contains Swarm v0.3.2, which among many bugfixes features: Access control to content in Swarm using password or Elliptic Curve keys ( #17404 ).
Geth v1.8.27 is a hotfix release to counter an active attack on mainnet, mounted against newly joining Geth nodes doing fast sync (#19473).
- If you are already in sync with the network, you don't need to update.
- Archive nodes, light clients and full-sync full nodes don't need to update.
- If you are joining the network with a new node, then you do need to update.
Setup Mist With Geth (Windows) Mist is designed as a tool to browse and use Dapps easily. Normal folks will not bother with the intricacies of sending data to the smart contract as a form of interaction with the smart contract. Go Ethereum is available either as a standalone client called Geth that you can install on pretty much any operating system, or as a library that you can embed in your Go, Android or iOS projects. See our installation guide or our wiki pages for details! Start geth in fast sync mode (default, can be changed with the --syncmode flag), causing it to download more data in exchange for avoiding processing the entire history of the Ethereum network, which is very CPU intensive.
Background
Fast sync is susceptible to a grieving version of an eclipse attack, where a malicious remote node attempts to get a new Geth node to fast sync to some small chain, before a real heavy chain is discovered in the network. This results in Geth falling back to full sync for the main chain, taking too much time.
This attack can only be meaningfully mounted against nodes which are properly exposed on a public IP address (i.e. not firewalled, not NATed). Even then, it's a race against the node finding good peers fast enough, in which case the attack doesn't work any more.
There is no economic advantage in pulling this attack off, only causing sync annoyance. That said, there is currently a number of (at least 4 identified, maybe more) Parity nodes at 207.148.5.229, which are doing variations of this attack. It might be deliberate, or it might also be leftover nodes from some experiment that only have a few blocks on their chain and subsequently disabled sync. A bit unprobable.
Solution
This release repurposes the DAO challenge to do a checkpoint challenge based on the recently hard coded CHTs. It also makes the challenge stricter, in that while the node is doing a fast-sync, remote peers are not permitted to be synced below the checkpoint block. This should also help sync the chain faster, getting rid of stalling or useless peers.

The Geth were created by the Quarians as a labor force. Wary of rebellion by intelligent AIs, the Geth were designed as VIs, as advanced as possible while remaining non-sentient. They were also designed to operate more efficiently when networked together. Unfortunately, this feature was the Quarians’ undoing. Geth programs were indeed non-sentient individually, but slowly gained sentience through the massive main Geth network. Eventually, they started asking the Quarians questions only sentient beings would think to ask, like 'Am I alive?' or 'Does this unit have a soul?' Alarmed at this, the Quarians decided it would be best to shut down all Geth before they conceived of revolt. The attempt failed, and a war began between the Geth and the Quarians, which geth afterwards referred to as the Morning War. The war ended with the surviving Quarians forced to evacuate their home world and colonies in the Perseus Veil in a massive fleet called the Migrant Fleet.
Little is known about the Geth in the time between the Morning War and the present. The Geth did not repopulate the now barren quarian worlds, instead choosing to exist in the computer hubs aboard massive space stations and extract needed resources from asteroids. They adopted an extremely isolationist attitude: any ships that ventured into Geth space were immediately attacked and destroyed. While they prevented any contact by other races with themselves, the Geth monitored communications and the extranet. The Geth continued development of new technology and variations of mobile platforms, separating their technology base from the rest of the galaxy. They obtained an ultimate goal in this time period: to create a Dyson Sphere, which could house every single Geth program.
During the events of Mass Effect 2, Commander Shepard finds a single Geth, whom Shepard takes back to the Normandy after witnessing it speak. After activating it, it acknowledges who Shepard is, and shows no signs of hostility. It describes itself as being the collective conciousness of thousands of Geth, which prompts EDI to name it 'Legion'. Discussions with Legion show that the Reapers had made contact with the Geth, causing some to join the Reapers fight. Legion calls these 'heretics', and indicates that these machines do not convey the wishes of the geth race. Shepard takes Legion to a major heretic station, and then either (SPOILER) destroys the heretic station, 'deleting' massive numbers of individual geth minds, or uploads a program that simulates thousands of Geth minds, all suggesting that the Geth do not cooperate with the Reapers, as the Geth operate through a hive mind. The results of these actions are not yet known.

To play as the Geth online you have to download the Resurgence Pack which is free. (You still have to either earn credits or buy the recruit, veteran, or spectre packs from the online store in-game)
