Do We Want Spam Software That Fights
Back?
11/04/2003 01:20 PMIt's no secret that spammers are increasingly using dirty tricks to
continue the spread of spam - while also doing their best to annoy
anti-spam activists. They've been launching denial of service attacks
on just about all anti-spam sites, and recently tricked a registrar
into taking away SpamCop's domain name. Some in the anti-spam world
are sinking lower themselves and looking at ways to
fight
back by issuing automatic denial of service attacks against links
in spam messages. There are a number of obvious problems with such a
plan. First of all, it's illegal. More importantly, though, many
anti-spam offerings have been shown to be a little too quick on the
trigger, leading to many legitimate messages getting tagged as spam -
and folks being hosted on the same servers often found their own email
blocked. What happens when a denial of service attack hits one of
those servers? Even worse, the spammers will begin to look on this as
a tool to do denial of service attacks on their own. They no longer
need to infect machines with trojans. Just spam the website they want
attacked and the anti-spam tools will do the work for them.

DNA Sequencing Technique Fights Spam

08/22/2004 03:16 PMWhat's impressive is that an algorithm named Chung-Kwei (after a
feng-shui talisman that protects the home against evil spirits) can
catch nearly 97 per cent of spam. What's even more surprising is it
wasn't developed for fighting unsolicited email -- it was created to
analyze DNA and amino acid sequences for recurring patterns, which
often indicate genetic structures that have an important role.
Chung-Kwei is based on the Teiresias algorithm, developed by the
bioinformatics research group at IBM's Thomas J Watson Research Center
in New York, US. Instead of chains of characters representing DNA
sequences, the research group fed the algorithm 65,000 examples of
known spam. Each email was treated as a long, DNA-like chain of
characters. Teiresias identified six million recurring patterns in
this collection, such as "Viagra".
IBM intends to include Chung-Kwei in its commercial product, SpamGuru.
Justin Mason, who developed SpamAssassin, one of the most popular
open-source anti-spam filters, says that Chung-Kwei looks
promising.
"I think there is still a lot of work to be done. But what is
exciting is not the particular algorithm, but the fact that IBM has
shown there is the entire field of bioinformatics techniques to
explore in the fight against spam."

Microsoft Fights For Browser Plug-Ins
06/09/2004 08:46 AMMicrosoft fired another shot in its defense of the patent infringement
suit brought by Eolas Technologies, asking the U.S. District Court to
overturn a Federal Court ruling. Microsoft has lost twice in the suit,
once in a jury trial and once on appeal. Now, it's asked the U.S.
District court to overturn the $521 million judgment and injunction
against distribution of its Internet Explorer browser. Eolas, a
spin-off from the University of California, sued Microsoft in
February, 1999 for patent infringement related to the way the Internet
Explorer browser handles media and plug-ins within Web pages.

for open source software. Microsoft's code was put there under the
terms of the Common Public License, which allows modification,
addition, redistribution - in short, it allows most of the rights and

02/19/2004 08:34 AMMicrosoft is taking steps to stop its leaked Windows source code
spreading widely on the internet. It is using the messaging systems in
file-swapping networks to alert people sharing the code that what they
are doing is illegal.
The software giant said it had written to "some" of the people it had
identified as sharing the source code. Anyone searching for the source
code on file-sharing systems will see a pop-up message alerting them
to the fact that downloading the code is illegal.

Can
Spam Save the World? Mark
Cuban, broadcast.com billionaire,
owner of
the Dallas Mavericks, and Donald Trump wannabe (
though he
says he's not) is set to host a new "reality"
show called
The
Benefactor. The winner gets $1 million bucks.
This guy, who
bought the terribly optimistic cubansmillion.com domain, claims he has
a "well thought-out"
4-step
plan to use the money to save the world.
It sounds to me like it was conceived by the
underwear
gnomes. He fails to explain just how sending 50 million spam
emails a day "generates 250 million dollars annually for
charitable causes . ($5 in annual earnings per member
enrolled.)"
I'd be interested in hearing what others with experience in email
marketing think. A viable idea or just crackpot self-promotion?
