Of course ssh, SSL, PGP and all good commonly used secure protocols or hashs are available as open source.
So why security by obscurity? Instead of working on a better protocol, Bearshare tries (again) to get an advantage from proprietray extensions. Needless to say what's good for Bearshare isn't automatically good for Gnutella.
