Spamware dissected


Spamware dissected 12/10/2003 10:17 PM
This is an amazing technical dissection of a piece of spamware that was implanted on a savvy user's webserver, a hunk of code that cleverly turned the machine into a piece of a distributed spamming cluster.
After the identification, the client sends the report command, and sends a list of exactly 1000 items, each item composed by the e-mail identification number (as shown above), and two other arguments, the first one is an error code that determines if the e-mail has been sent (for instance, 6 means 'Timeout connecting to host', 11 that the e-mail has been sent, 9 means 'Timeout reading from socket', ...) and it will be clearly shown in the next paragraphs, and the third one that I haven't identified yet, but it could be a flag to know if the e-mail address has been treated. It seems that it is the report for telling which e-mail address is valid. Just to be sure, I executed the daemon with its configuration file slightly modified, changing the /dev/null to real files to watch its logs. As seen in the daemon's configuration file, there are three different logs: logfile, speedlog and out. The last one (out) is always empty, but the other two contain interesting things: As seen in the daemon's configuration file, there are three different logs: logfile, speedlog and out.

Canada's DMCA dissected


Canada's DMCA dissected 06/22/2005 01:49 AM
Cory Doctorow: On the heels of the introduction of Canada's Bill C-60, a Made-in-Canada version of the DMCA, Michael Geist has posted several long, thoughtful blog posts about the bill's effects on different interests: search engines, ISPs, and P2P users:
While Bill C-60 therefore contains extensive provisions to cover uploading, downloading on peer-to-peer systems remains largely untouched (with the exception described above). Many experts believe that peer-to-peer downloading is covered by the private copying levy, though CRIA disputes that interpretation.

Knudsen's Dairy cookbook dissected


Knudsen's Dairy cookbook dissected 04/28/2004 04:00 PM
James Lileks is in rare form today as he dissects the recipes to be had in a vintage Knudsen's Dairy cookbook.
Chicken Curry Salad. The recipe says “toss lightly,” but I suppose that depends on how much you eat and how bad the cramps get. The item in the middle is the Holiday Salad, although which holiday is best celebrated with tumor-studded Bruise Cake I’m not entirely certain. The item on the bottom is – well, steel yourself.

Corned Beef Salad Loaf.

I kid you not.

Meat Jell-O.

Google Email? Would You Trade Off Ads
For Better Email Search?


Google Email? Would You Trade Off Ads
For Better Email Search?
01/17/2004 10:47 PM
The big discussion that I've been having with a few different people over the last few weeks is whether or not Google would get into the email business - and, if so, how? To me, it seems like an obvious extension of their technology and business model - but not everyone agrees. However, the rumors are getting louder and louder that Google is developing an email product. The question is whether they'll be offering an entire "Google Email" system, or if they're just working on a version of their AdSense offering that would work within email (generating contextual ads based on the content of the email). Some people I've spoken to about it thought that people would freak out if they thought Google was reading their email to do its contextualization magic - which could be true. The question is how many people will freak out - and will plenty of others be more than willing to welcome the Google contextualization engine into their inbox, in exchange for the ability to actually "Google your email"? Many people always seem to want the ability to better search through their own email. I could see a certain willingness from many people to let Google place ads in their email in exchange for the ability to better search through all the email. If Google could figure out a good anti-spam solution, as well, it could be a real hit.

For years, SMTP server software was used to send and receive e-mail communications. These older servers, usually freeware, have created many delivery challenges. Most of the time, marketers, CEO’s and even CMO’s are completely unaware of these issues. The owners of ActivSoftware, in central New York, introduced a worldwide challenge to prove their software system (http://www.activsoftware.com/xms) is one of a kind in the email industry.

Email Postage Company Says People Want
Email Postage Stamps
04/21/2004 12:54 PM
Is it really any surprise that an email postage company has done a survey saying that p eople want email postage stamps as a way of cutting back spam. In the past, every survey that has asked people about email postage has generally come out the opposite way. However, when you ask the question in a leading way, such as: "Is it a good idea to shift the cost of e-mail from the ISPs to those who send mass e-mail?" who's actually going to say no? Of course, people want to "shift the cost," but that's not the same as saying they want to deal with email postage stamps.
