dhtCrawler : a simple Mainline DHT Crawler

These simple scripts allow a user to crawl the Mainline (bittorrent) DHT. This is not done in any intelligent way, nor are the scripts optimized. For now, only the node IDs (Session ID + IP + Port) are queried, the info hashes are generated randomly.

This simple DHT crawler is inspired by following defcon talk :
Crawling the DHT for fun and profit (Defcon 18)

The basic modules, especially the bencode module, come from the lightDHT repo :
