Nope, looks like they're used for blog spam now too. At least it looks that way from my MT logs, as I look at all the stuff that MT-Blacklist has blocked. (Mmmmm, MT-blacklist goodness. Regardless of whatever happens with MT 3.x's license, code, or fortune cookies, there's no way in hell I'm switching from the MT2.661 setup I have now if there's no blacklist equivalent for it) Dunno whether they're generic web proxies, or blog-spam-specific things. Since the wave hit more than a week ago it's tough to tell for sure, since dynamic IP addresses for dialup machines and whatnot'll...

Zombie Network Pricing

Zombie Network Pricing 09/08/2004 08:51 AM

Going price for network of zombie PCs: $2,000-$3,000: Here's a look into the economics of spam hackers.

One indication of the going rate for zombie PCs comes from a June 11 posting on SpecialHam.com, an electronic forum for spammers. The asking price for use of a network of 20,000 zombie PCs: $2,000 to $3,000. Such networks typically are used to broadcast spam and phishing scams and to spread e-mail viruses designed mainly to create yet more zombies.

How to Survive a Zombie Attack

How to Survive a Zombie Attack 04/19/2005 03:40 AM
I finally saw Dawn of the Dead (2004), and I just have to wonder, did these people even think about how they would survive a zombie attack? Since we've had a rash of zombie movies lately - 28 Day, Shaun of the Dead - I think someone needs to publish a zombie survival guide to help these people out. And that someone is me, because I for one don't welcome our new zombie overlords.

Zombie Networks for Rent 07/07/2004 04:31 PM

Home PCs rented out in sabotage racket: This is just hideous. Now they have "zombie brokers" that will rent you a zombie network they've created.

Vast networks of home computers are being rented out without their owners' knowledge to spammers, fraudsters and digital saboteurs, security experts say.

The terminals have been infected by a computer virus, turning them into "zombies" — slaves to the commands of a malicious and unseen controller.

For more information on what they're doing with these machines, see this post.

Zombie SMTP 1.0 (Default branch)

Zombie SMTP 1.0 (Default branch) 03/19/2005 03:22 AM
Zombie SMTP is a tool written to help interrupt spammers' activity. It pretends to be an SMTP server but all it really does is hold onto a connection for 20 mins if the source IP address of the connection is registered in one or more of the pre-defined RBLs. The purpose of this is to simply waste spammers' time if they try to connect to Zombie SMTP to relay their spam. Any connection from a machine not listed in the RBLs is automatically disconnected, this is to prevent authentic servers from tying up their resources who for some reason try to connect to this SMTP server.

Comcast Admits Their Zombie Problem

Comcast Admits Their Zombie Problem 05/24/2004 02:27 PM
People have been talking about the problems of zombie machines spewing spam for a while. One of the biggest issues is how to get the broadband providers to do something about it, and to help stop the flow of spam from the computers of users who have no idea they're sending out spam. One of the biggest targets in this discussion is Comcast - who, by their sheer size in the market, appears to have the most subscribers with compromised machines. In fact, last week, they admitted that they were, technically, "the biggest spammer on the internet." They say that Comcast users send out 800 million messages a day - and 700 million of them are spam from zombie machines. Many have complained that Comcast hasn't taken the situation seriously, but that seems to have changed lately. Over the last few months they've been a lot more proactive in letting subscribers know that their machines have been taken over - but it still takes a while, and end-users who end up getting cut off are often not savvy enough to understand what's happening or how to fix it. One potential solution is to block port 25 - something that many other ISPs do - but Comcast has rejected that plan, knowing that the complaint and support costs would be overwhelming. Instead, it sounds like they've come up with a fairly creative method of dealing with the problem. They're going to monitor overall usage, and if they become aware of a problem, they will remotely adjust only that user's modem to block port 25. While this may still cause an occasional headache for some users, the overall impact should be much lower, and the non-tech-savvy zombie-fied customer will have the problem they didn't know about solved without them knowing about it as well.
