annoying spammers with pf and spamd

Posted on February 28th, 2003 in code by skip

Found on benzedrine.cx: “I don’t like getting spam. Even though I can automatically delete spam without reading it, the spammers still successfully deliver their mails and get paid by volume. I want to hurt them. They should not be able to deliver their mails, and waste as much of their resources as possible attempting to do so…. ”

very cool stuff… (already implemented here by the way)

dynamic ghetto ids

Posted on February 28th, 2003 in code by skip

use openbsd’s pf to dynamically block those damn 2 year old codered infected boxen. found on deadly.org: “Daniel is at it again. Answering the question of how to dynamically create rulesets based on arbitrary criteria, Daniel discusses how he tracks web clients and kills them with dynamic rulesets. This would be easy to extend to a variety of detection criteria and add various levels of security via a PF host. Don’t forget that reactionary firewalls are a great way to lock yourself off the Internet, so don’t be too overzealous in your ruleset building.”

i guess i assume too much. people, in my opinion, are intelligent unless proven otherwise. this guy not only jumps right out screaming idiocy, but he performs a triple summersault bellyflop off the tower of maturity as well.

i’m on the lds email list at stanford. somehow every week at least one person sends a message to the entire list asking to be unsubscribed. so i’ve taken it upon myself to reply in the nicest possible way… straining against the urge to straight out remind the offender what an idiot he is. (appended to the end of every message sent through the list are instructions about how to unsubscribe)

sockz thoughts on sql worm

Posted on February 3rd, 2003 in rant by skip

Dont you think its kind of ODD how exactly 6 months after the advisory and patch were released that a worm should also be released? Sounds kinda like whoever did release this worm was laughing at the security in part. That or maybe they just wanted to give you all a chance to patch before showing you all up for the lazy all-talk-no-patchin bugtraq bitchez that you are.
