Comment (by yawning):

 I wasn't going to specify how it was implemented...

 {{{
                 if hmac.Equal(macCmp, macRx) {
                         // Ensure that this handshake has not been seen
 previously.
                         if filter.TestAndSet(time.Now(), macRx) {
                                 // The client either happened to generate
 exactly the same
                                 // session key and padding, or someone is
 replaying a previous
                                 // handshake.  In either case, fuck them.
                                 return nil, ErrReplayedHandshake
                         }

                         macFound = true
                         hs.epochHour = epochHour

                         // We could break out here, but in the name of
 reducing timing
                         // variation, evaluate all 3 MACs.
                 }
 }}}
