We got hit by Trackback Spam
07/02/2004 07:42 PMWell as soon as you lock one door they came in the back. This
morning I woke up to over 100 spam trackbacks that where very nasty.
Some of you may have seen them in our trackback tracker on the main
page. I really love to give credit to those sites that quote us but I
cannot risk having them on the main page. They are getting smarter as
they are spoofing IP's so it's not like I can put in a IP block. So
those of you using Movable Type Version 3 the backdoor is wide open.

Trackback spam
01/23/2004 02:25 PMThis is odd...just before I fell asleep last night, I thought, "I
wonder why no one has spammed Trackback yet. It's just so wide open,
hanging out there like a breaking ball that didn't break." And then,
magically, I'm surfing around this morning and ran across this report
of Trackback spamming as well as a TB throttling patch for MT to help
minimize the damage. If I believed in Star...

Comment and Trackback Spam
03/14/2005 05:05 PM Comment spam has increased to the point where I've reluctantly had to

I'm spending too much time cleaning it up as well as trackback spam. I
am also disabling trackbacks. This is a shame as it undermines the
connectivity that...

Movable Type Comment and Trackback Spam
Tools
04/11/2005 05:50 AMI have two tools I currently use to battle trackback and comment
spam on this site, they get about 85% of it but still some nasty stuff
slips through. In the next couple of says I am going to install a
third tool on this site to try and fight back even more.
It's ridiculous three tools to fight trackback and comment spam. If
I had any management decisions to make at SixApart this would have
been a high priority. They need to quit making strategic partners and
fix their tools so I don't have to spend my VALUABLE time cleaning all
this disgusting stuff up.
At least some third part developers get it. It's too bad that
SixApart keeps sticking their heads in the sand.[MT-DSBL]

Trackback Spam (Services_Trackback)
Tobias Schlitt's Blog: Thoughts on
Trackback Spam (Services_Trackback)
06/24/2005 03:03 PMTobias Schlitt has posted
this new
item over on his blog today with a bit more information on the
PEAR
Services_Trackback library and his effort to create *the* method
to keep comment spam away.
A few weeks ago I announced the release of
Services_Trackba
ck 0.5.0, which has a new module system for integrating spam
protections into your trackback mechanisms. While the most easy filter
(the bad word list) worked quite well for
the first time frame, but as usual it did not take long for the
spammers to work around that with using entitie encoding. Of course to
get around that from the anti spam point of view is very simple, too,
with simply reconverting that stuff before running the bad word check.
But that's not really the sense, because the spam fraction will not
need long to come around this, too.
So, basically what I'm currently thinking about is, how to build a (to
some degree) reliable spam protection.
He goes on,
discussing some of the other options for blocking spam (blacklists,
greylists, vertification of the sender) that the package
doesn't support yet. He's also looking for
opinions as to other methods to include in the library for the
future as well...

Finance Spam Passing Drug Spam While
Porn Spam Is Washed Up
05/24/2004 05:37 PMThe latest study on spam trends appears to show that
financial spam is outpacing pharmaceutical spam
- though, honestly, so much of both is coming out that it's really
hard to imagine that this matters at all. Meanwhile, it seems that
porn spam is increasingly less interesting to spammers as the numbers
have been on a noticeable decline for quite some time. No matter
what, though, it appears that CAN-SPAM has done absolutely nothing to
slow down the amount of spam sent.

03/13/2003 06:17 PMToday I looked at my list of contacts in AIM and knew Jerry Kindall was the l33t
applescript developer of the bunch. I showed him my previous
post, went off to grab a burrito for lunch only to find a working
script in my inbox upon return. I just tried it out and it's working
as I speak, with output identical to the winamp pings. The full
instructions and applescript are included:

Trackback in, valid out (mostly)
Trackback in, valid out (mostly)
06/28/2004 09:41 PMJacques Distler: You gonna turn off Trackbacks (which don't declare a
charset, and could be sent in any charset imaginable, but very
frequently are Windows-1252)? Unless you have a way to guess the
charset
and re-encode the result to UTF-8, they will invalidate your pages as
quick as you can sneeze. It turns out that by design it is rather hard
for a string of bytes to accidentally be valid utf-8, unless that
string
is pure US-ASCII, in which case it doesn't much matter which encoding
you presume. ...

Jacques Distler: The anonymous nature of the internet makes
the problem of “identity” a hard one. In physics, when
we encounter an intractably-hard problem, our most frequent dodge
is to redefine the problem to one which admits a solution, and hope
that the result is a “good-enough” stand-in for the
original problem. In that spirit, I (re)defined the problem as
reliably associating comments posted with the websites of the
commenters.
Just a suggestion: a lesser, but very much related and much more
tractable, problem is trackbacks. The reason why it is more
tractable is that the trackbacks are issued by software which could
reasonably be expected to have direct access to your weblog's
private keys. This could make signing totally automatic -
simply check a box once, and your template could be updated and all
future trackbacks would be automatically signed.
The signatures could be passed as a new CGI parameter or as a
HTTP header. Neither would likely affect any existing
software that wasn't expecting this information.
Once trackback signing is widely enough adopted, people may feel
comfortable turning off the ability to accept unsigned
trackbacks. And then much of the infrastructure will be in
place to tackle the harder, and more important problem, of comment
signing.
The key nut to crack there is to make it easy and painless to
sign a comment.
