Stopping Spam Patented (Again)

Stopping Spam Patented (Again) 06/02/2004 10:10 AM
Earlier this year, we noted that Postini had receive d a patent for the incredibly obvious concept of anti-spam filtering. Well, it looks like they may be in for some competition, because Network Associates/McAfee has now been awarded a patent for an idea that (sarcasm alert) no one could have possibly come up with prior to December 2002 when they applied for it: us ing a combination of methods such as "filters, paragraph hashing, and Bayes rules" to stop spam. What this really means is that there are now going to be anti-spam patent battles which will slow down the process of stopping spam, and do no one any good, other than a few lawyers who will get rich. Why can't these companies just compete in the marketplace? Still, it would be great if, at some point, AT&T finally made it clear why they patented spamming itself last year.

I doubt this is all that surprising, but a new report suggests that anti-spam companies will bring in noticeably more revenue than the spammers themselves. Of course, creating anti-spam products actually takes some work, whereas spam is the job of lazy people who have no longterm vision, but just want money as quickly and as easily as possible. Still, when you look at the amount of money spent on both sides, it's fairly stunning just how much money moves due to spam.

Spam? 01/17/2004 10:47 PM
Normally, if you're trying to solve a difficult problem, you have a few different plans. If something doesn't work, you need to be ready to move onto plan B. I've been asking since the CAN SPAM bill was passed, how is the government planning to measure how successful (or not) it's been - and what's plan B? Now that it's becoming increasingly clear that CAN SPAM hasn't been even remotely successful - and has basically done nothing to slow down the rise of spam, I want to know again, what is the government's plan B? They were so proud of themselves for passing CAN SPAM, yet they included no money for enforcement, no way to measure how successful it was, and no plan B. In other words, yet another law that makes for a good press release, and a good sound bite at election time, but does nothing to solve a problem.

Heart-stopping sandwich of the year

Heart-stopping sandwich of the year 08/23/2004 06:36 AM
Cory Doctorow: Maxim Magazine has selected its sandwich of the year: the Fat Darrell (invented by Darrell Butler during his sophomore year at Rutgers University) contains chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks and french fries. Maxim lauds it for its "drunken ingenuity."

"So, I'm standing there eating it, and all of a sudden the guy standing behind me says, 'That thing that guy's eating looks pretty good, can you make me one of those?' And, it was like a movie scene, the next 10 people order the same thing. So, I'm like, 'Whoa!' like I think I might be onto something. And the guy is like, 'Hey, man, this is cool.'"

That guy who assembled the sandwich was Abdul Eid, working in an R.U. Hungry food truck, parked in a campus lot in New Brunswick, catering to beer-soaked undergraduates with the late-night munchies.

Eid now runs R.U. Hungry Grill & Pizza, a store he was able to open in part due to the success of the $4.75 Fat Darrell, the flagship of R.U.'s "Fat" line.

Stopping Computer Viruses Before They

Stopping Computer Viruses Before They
Reach You 11/12/2003 01:33 PM
Roland Piquepaille writes "The Washington University in St. Louis (WUSL) announced that one of its computer science teams has developed a new technology to stop computer viruses and worms before they reach your system. John Lockwood and his team didn't use software. Instead, they created an open platform that augments a network with reprogrammable hardware, called the Field-programmable Port Extender (FPX). "The FPX can scan each and every byte of every data packet transmitted through a network at a rate of 2.4 billion bits per second. In other words, the FPX could scan every word in the entire works of Shakespeare in about 1/60th of a second," said Lockwood. Real products based on the technology should appear soon. More excerpts and references are contained in my blog which also includes a photograph of an FPX module." I'm a little confused as to what the big deal is about this. It's basically doing two things: put antivirus protection at the network level instead of the end client, which isn't a new idea at all and using an FPGA hardware solution instead of software (which they seem to be saying is faster). Am I missing something, or is this not that big of a deal?

"It's good policy and good business." NYC's Employees Retirement System (5 funds managing $78.6 billion in holdings) is targeting Fortune 500 companies to adopt policies that specifically bar discrimination based on sexual orientation. One of them, CSX Corp., didn't even wait for their shareholder meeting, but immediately amended their policy in response. These funds recently had great success after a decade-long battle with Cracker Barrel Restaurants--infamous for firing gay and lesbian employees because they don't “demonstrate normal heterosexual values." Here's wishing an especially happy holiday to employees of those companies that have stopped discriminating and hopes for many more to join in.

The 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.

California Spam Law: Won't Stop Spam,
Will Make It Harder To Do Business

California Spam Law: Won't Stop Spam,
Will Make It Harder To Do Business 11/03/2003 11:40 PM
I get inundated with more and more spam every day, and it's frustrating as anything. I want it to stop. However, if politicians insist on passing bad legislation in their attempts to stop spam, that's not going to do any good. I've already complained about the new California legislation and it looks like I'm not alone. A guy who runs a consulting firm and writes for Business Week points out why California's anti-spam law won't do a thing about spam, but will make life more difficult for legitimate small businesses. He describes a situation where he did a very targeted mailing for a company. It's probably up to your definition of spam as to whether or not you consider his mailing spam. I tend to draw the line on whether or not the mailing was "bulk" - which it sounds like his was. I believe that if the email is truly targeted and personalized about a potential business relationship, then it's hard to call it spam. The California law disagrees. In fact, the sponsor of the bill claims that any email contact between two companies is not legitimate if it hasn't been initiated under some other form. That's simply ridiculous. As I've said before, plenty of "commercial" websites contact Techdirt every day about the possibility of partnerships or links. Under California's anti-spam law, I could charge them with spam. I recently heard from a major technology magazine, asking if I would add them to my Quicklinks box. Should I sue them for spam? According to the law, I could.

Spammer Complies With CAN-SPAM, Claims

Spammer Complies With CAN-SPAM, Claims
ISPs Should Not Filter His Spam 05/20/2004 07:05 PM
Ronnie Scelson is one of the shortlist of spammers who just seems to love publicity. While many spammers like to hide away, Scelson's always willing to talk. He testified before the Senate Commerce Committee today, claiming that he is now compl ying with CAN-SPAM, but threatened to ignore the law if not enough of his spam messages were getting through filters. He actually has the audacity to complain that now that CAN-SPAM is in effect, ISPs should be required to let his mail through. Maybe the filters are a little to thick around his head and the message isn't getting through to him: the reason his spam is filtered is because people don't want it.

CAN SPAM Designed To Make Congressmen
Look Good - Not Stop Spam

CAN SPAM Designed To Make Congressmen
Look Good - Not Stop Spam 01/07/2004 06:36 PM
We all know now that the CAN SPAM law is a disaster and is unlikely to do anything useful in the battle against spam. It's also becoming clear that the entire point of the bill was never to stop spam, but to make a few folks in Congress look good (which seems to be the entire point of most politics these days). First, Business Week spends some time comparing the mostly effective federal "Do Not Call" list with CAN SPAM. The DNC list was planned out carefully by the FTC and the FCC, and, while it upset many telemarketers, it was designed in a way to be effective. There was also enough time, and enough publicity given to the list that people knew about it and had the opportunity to sign up for it - while marketers had the ability to prepare on their end as well. With CAN SPAM, however, it was rushed through Congress with little thought towards whether or not it would actually do anything and without any money to actually deal with any of these cases. Meanwhile, the NY Times reports that the sponsors of the bill asked the FTC to sue a spammer the very first week the bill was in effect in order to make a big "splash" so they could pat themselves on the back - even as the spam levels continued to increase. FTC Chair Timothy Muris (who has spoken out against this spam law) apparently laughed them off and pointed out it was impossible to do such a thing. First of all, in order to violate the law, the spammers have to ignore an opt-out request. Then, the FTC would have to track down who the actual spammer was - with no additional funds, because the law didn't provide for them.

Why Blacklisting Spammers Is A Bad Idea

Why Blacklisting Spammers Is A Bad Idea 11/10/2003 11:34 PM

Command line blacklisting

Command line blacklisting 09/09/2004 01:15 AM

Just over a year ago, I started blacklisting domain names from links featured in comment spam. My idea then was that these blacklists could become a shared resource: people would publish their own blacklist and subscribe to those of people they trust, thus making it much harder for spammers to operate. While the sheer volume of spam domains meant that the technique was much less useful than I originally anticipated, I've continued to maintain my blacklist ever since as a preventative measure against repeat spammers.

I have a confession to make: all of my blog administration (with the exception of adding entries and blogmarks) is performed using phpMyAdmin. The trouble with writing your own software is that it's very easy to skimp on the backend tools, since you're the only person who will ever see them. Incidentally, this is the main reason I plan to switch to WordPress just as soon as I find the inspiration to write the necessary import scripts. Comments are deleted in phpMyAdmin, and domains are blacklisted by manually editing the blacklist.txt file via FTP.

This has been really bugging me, especially since I have so little other use for FTP that my only installed client is an unregistered version of Transmit (closes after ten minutes, won't save passwords along with account details). I've been muddling along with that for longer than I care to admit, but today I decided to take 10 minutes out to solve the problem once and for all. I could have put together a web interface for adding new domains but I wasn't really in the mood, so I decided to put time spent reading The Art of Unix Programming to good use and knock out a simple command line application.

The result (minus my login details) can be found here. Sample usage: ./blacklist.py www.domain.org www.domain2.com. It follows the Unix ideal of being the simplest-thing-that-could-possibly-work, and ended up taking longer to write than I expected thanks mainly to the craziness of Python's ftplib . I've seen complaints about this before, and it thoroughly deserves its bad reputation.

Here's one example: retrlines is the method used to retrieve ascii text from the server. Bizzarely, it doesn't actually return the text receieved; instead, it expects you to provide it with a callback function that will be fed each line in turn, minus the newline. Sounds like a job for Stri ngIO, but StringIO objects don'y have a writeline method (required to add the newline back on). I ended up writing my own extension of the StringIO2 class and adding a writeline method just to preserve the newlines returned from the server!

Strange APIs aside, I'm pretty pleased with the final result. It follows a bunch of Unix design patterns (and skips others such as those related to configuration, but I'm not overly bothered about those) including the following:

1. A usage note is displayed if no arguments are provided.
2. Multiple domains can be blacklisted at once, by providing them as multiple command line arguments.
3. Domains that are already in the blacklist are skipped, and a message is written to standard error.
4. If the script suceeds, it doesn't say anything at all.

It also uses the common Python idiom of wrapping the principle logic in a function and then calling that from a block that runs only if the file is executed directly (the __name__ == '__main__' idiom) so that other Python code can import the module and reuse its functionality if required.

There's plenty of room for improvement: being able to pipe a list of domains in via standard input would be nice, and hard coding the (unencrypted) username and password is sloppy (as is expecting the blacklist.txt file to live in the FTP home directory). Even better, with SSH access the whole thing could be replaced with an infinitely more secure one-liner: echo www.domain-to-ban.org | ssh username@server "cat - >> blacklist.txt". I'm happy though: an irritating task has become much less irritating and I have some example code to fall back on next time I need to get mucky with ftplib.

Linspire Looking for More Lawsuits

Linspire Looking for More Lawsuits 04/20/2004 10:11 AM

Linspire's lawyers (formerly Lindows) apparently need work after their losing battle with Microsoft. Now they're testing Apple's resolve by announcing LPhoto and LSongs .

Apple may be smaller than Microsoft, but it doesn't take too much research to find that they take their intellectual property very seriously.
