    implement something like SpamCannibal. i implemented something like it on my server and its cool to see them getting tarpitted for hours.

    SpamCannibal is a very satisfying way of ripping the rug from from infected hosts.

    A bit controversial, mind you, but I'd like to see it incorporated in some projects like IPCop, for example.

    In effect, that's what I'm doing with SpamCannibal.

    SpamCannibal is basically a proactive tarpit, the ethics of which I'm sure we will debate, but I can't help thinking that if this approach was at least an option for sysadmins being snowed under with crap (I've tried to get the IPCop maintainers, and others interested) then the world would be a better place for it.

    Greylisting is cool, but it *does* increase bandwidth use. Since we're recommending alternative systems, I think you should also look at tarpitting, and the excellent Spamcannibal in particular.

    Spamcannibal uses black lists (any RBLs you want). Once it identifies a spammer it attempts to choke them to death by preventing packets from leaving their machine on port 25.

    Running Spamcannibal means that you are contributing to a network that prevents spam from getting to you AND others.

    Of course, it relies upon the RBLs to be correct, but I'm sure there's no such thing as a perfect solution for the problem of spam.

  7. OT: Spam Cannibal by gilgongo · · Score: 1 · on SpamAssassin Gets a Promotion

    As it seems now obligatory to mention anti-spam systems whenever a /. story mentions spam, I thought I'd add the following:

    Please have a look at Spam Cannibal

    It's an interesting concept that if correctly deployed (big "if") by even a relatively few admins around the world, could really make a difference to the amount of spam on the net. It can also protect hosts against DoS attacks of various kinds.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not astroturfing this (much...). It has flaws - there are those who think blacklisting is a bad idea, and I can see their point of view on that - but I just think Spam Cannibal needs more visibility as an approach.

    You might also have a look at Spam Cannibal.

    It's in the same sort of area - and interesting proactive approach to spam, and potentially worms as well.
