Re: Loads of fake peers advertised on bitcoin network

All my nodes' peers databases are now over 700k records
...
Does bitcoin core have a limit of peers upon witch it won't accept new addresses into the database?

Yes, the limit is (1024+256)*64 = 81920 addresses (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/7e1ba37b5daceda222b138cbf61bbdeda87d21fd/src/addrman.h#L159-L162). How come you have 700k+ records?

How can you tell whether an address is "completely random" or an address of a legit node that is down?
