I've looked at some of the handshakes. Apparently, they always hang up
after the first handshake response which seems to indicate they don't
like some of the parameters. Maybe they just hang up due to the
missing "X-Auth-Challenge" in the response. These handshakes look more
or less like normal Gnutella handshakes. According to my information
though Foxy isn't based on Gnutella but G2, the handshake doesn't indicate
this. I've seen a search result from Foxy exactly once so far. So Foxy
doesn't really seem to be using Gnutella.

The easiest option would be banning them by their identification. The
last thing Gnutella needs is another abusive parasite.

Their IP addresses might end up in the cache due the Listen-IP header
in the first handshake request. This should certainly be avoided.
