Securityfocus: Fighting Spammers With Honeypots
This paper evaluates the usefulness of using honeypots to fight spammers.
Search: Fighting Spammers With Honeypots: Part 1 2003-11-26 Abstract Like most advertising flyers found in postal mailboxes, millions of emails -- now classically referred to as spam -- fill email inboxes around the world everyday
Spam can be considered as the most annoying cyber-pollution that targets all of us with tons of unsolicited emails
Those emails usually contain advertisements and spammers are paid to spread as many of them as possible
Though spam should generally not be considered a real cyber attack, it may be difficult to distinguish between virus-contaminated emails, phishing scams and bothersome ads (those containing tricky JavaScript or specific forged HTML used to track them)
Moreover, spammers slow the servers receiving legitimate emails and may cause availability problems
While spammers earn money by embarrassing people, employees and netsurfers lose time by receiving unsolicited emails -- in some cases, hundreds per day
This paper will evaluate the usefulness of using honeypots to fight spammers
The first part of the article will explain some background information on spam

CNET.com: Start-up wants your help to fight spam
Ordinary Web surfers could play a major role in stemming the rising tide of junk
e-mail crippling the Net, if a new anti-spam company hits its mark.
| Password: or Remember me | Search: Start-up wants your help to fight spam By Staff Writer Published: June 19, 2002, 12:00 AM PDT Ordinary Web surfers could play a major role in stemming the rising tide of junk e-mail crippling the Net, if a new anti-spam company hits its mark
Reader Resources After operating in stealth mode for nearly two-and-a-half years, San Mateo, Calif.-based on Wednesday is taking the wraps off a new spam-fighting tool, called SpamNet, which aims to use the power of the people to weed out unsolicited commercial e-mail
Then there is the Internet itself, whose enormous strengths of openness, flexibility and redundancy have proven insurmountable foes for legions of companies that previously have marched off to vanquish the hordes of spam
Many, such as SpamCop and SpamKiller, already include tools to allow e-mail recipients to report spam to their Internet service providers, a form of democracy in action that has not proven terribly effective
Technology pundits say most existing anti-spam solutions haven't been able to keep up with the rising flood of junk and the sophistication of marketers sending it

ECM--Email Countermeasures How and Why of obfuscating your address Why I like many internet users got tired of receiving e-mail from spammers, mass-mailers, or whatever you choose to call this retched hive of scum and villiany
How do spammers get my email address? Harvesting Webpages that is the purpose of the javascripts on my page is to hide your address from these simple little 'bots or spiders that look for anything in the form of foo@example.com or in a mailto: URL Harvesting Newsgroups similar to webpages automatic programs that look for anything in the form of foo@example.com Social Engineering greeting cards sites that collect your name from a friend of yours and then keep it or sell it to spammers Guessing if there is a foo at example.com maybe there is another foo at whitehouse.gov The next step is to verify the address usually in one of two ways, either SMTP verify a mail command that will check to see if the recipient is actually ok with the mail server or perhaps a blank or innocuous message from no one you know to see if your address 'bounces.'

OJR : Bloggers Declare War on Comment Spam, but Can They Win?
"Here's a look at the battle so far."
Bloggers Declare War on Comment Spam, but Can They Win? Spammers find a way to game Google search results by posting links in comments sections of popular blogs
Posted: 2004-09-16 Blogger Jeremy Zawodny 'Guerrilla Tactics Against Blog Comment Spammers.' Blogdex honcho Cameron Marlow the 'Comment Spam Arms Race.' And blogger/consultant Adam Kalsey, 'We now intend to fight back.' Just what the heck is 'comment spam' and how did it get so many prominent bloggers up in arms? Basically, spammers have been using blogs to help boost their standings in Google searches by posting massive numbers of comments that include links to their pornography sites, scams and get-rich-quick sites
If your site is linked by a top-ranked site or blog, then Google will often raise your site's ranking -- at least that's the thinking of spammers
In fall of 2003, spammers flooded blog comments, using automated schemes to infiltrate comments on high-ranked blogs such as Dan Gillmor's , David Weinberger's and Rafat Ali's , among others
And Six Apart's latest service and Movable Type software include multiple ways to stem comment spam, including Jay Allen's and the registration system
NewsFactor: Fighting Internet Abuse: Things You Can Do
Brief introduction to basic techniques for tracing, reporting, and protecting
against internet abuse.
The same goes for spam
While there are organizations -- like -- that promote methods to fight spam, users are, by and large, left to their own devices, short of filing a lawsuit against a spammer
Certain states have passed laws that let you for each piece of spam received, if your mail server happens to reside in that state
But legislation likely will never prevent spammers from finding and exploiting open mail relays
Many believe there is nothing to be done about spam or minor cracking attempts other than to pass additional legislation making punishment more severe for spammers and script kiddies
Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail By far, my favorite user-level tools for fighting spam -- in contrast to fighting spam at the server level -- are , a Web-based spam reporting system, and, an add-in for Microsoft Outlook that also runs as a standalone application for Netscape Messenger and Eudora
Reporting a spammer to the originating ISP by the traditional method is slow
Once you've done the research, you then forward the spam to the appropriate abuse departments
While the manual process sometimes works fine, a minute is too much time to spend regularly reporting spam
