If SOMEONE is attacking these keywords, it may be banning porny keywords in Chinese.
Who is doing these? The gunverment???
Either it is the government, but what I think is more likely is that it's the Chinese companys behind xunlei, vagaa, flashget etc... I have understood that they or at least some of them are censoring searches. Like porn for instance.
So how are they going to deal with the real eMule clients which are uncensored? One way I can think of is that they are attacking the quality of service for those not using the Chinese companys clients. For instance What would the gain be if you use the vanilla eMule client or one of its mods if you can't find what you are seaching or other peers cant find files you are sharing because they are prohibited to being published.
Anyway, I believe there are effective counterattacks and as far as I can see with just a little extra overhead.

The attackers are also using some IPs in the range (approximately) 58.17.146.xx - 58.17.154.xx.
I've seen 111.*, 180.* and (?)231.* IPs - all Chinese (don't remember very well all the numbers; no logs right now).
Well, I've seen invalid IPs, bogon IPs and IPs from different part of the worlds.
The question is are they real nodes or just random IPs.
As far as I can tell now there are nodes using protocol version 8 with approx 32-36 bits in common with the targeted ID. They seem to be all Chinese. When asked they either don't respond which happens if the serched ID is not equal or close enough to the attacked ID or they respond with more nodes of the same kind in the same IP ranges. At the end they repsond with Kad nodes claimed to be using protocol version 6 which all seem to be dead contacts. Question is if the protocol version 6 contacts are real or if they are all just made up... Why version 6?
