Attachments and Prevents E-mail Viruses
07/15/2004 03:05 AMEmail Sentinel Pro 2.6 prevents users from receiving dangerous
e-mails, by blocking attachments, scripts, images and spamming
techniques before they reach the Inbox folder. Viruses aren't the only
reason to be concerned about HTML email. Spammers use email bugs,
scripts and images hidden in the HTML to track anyone who opens their
email. E-mail Sentinel Pro stops spammers from verifying an address.

Command line blacklisting
Command line blacklisting
09/09/2004 01:15 AMJust 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:
- A usage note is displayed if no arguments are provided.
- Multiple domains can be blacklisted at once, by providing them as
multiple command line arguments.
- Domains that are already in the blacklist are skipped, and a
message is written to standard error.
- 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.

Is the command line necessary for most
Linux users?
01/05/2004 04:50 AMEvery time I write an article about normal people using Linux with
little or no training, a few weisenhimers inevitably accuse me of
being an overly optimistic advocate by not warning readers that it
takes a least some knowledge of Bash to run and maintain a Linux
installation. The problem with this accusation is that it might have
been true in 1998, but it is not true in 2004. It is now possible to
run Linux without knowing any commands beyond point-and-click,
cut-and-paste, and drag-and-drop. Indeed, those are the only ones I
use for everyday computing myself.
