Journal KevMar's Journal: More Spam
So it does little good to attack the sender of spam. all the informatin is fake. replying to the abuse or postmaster accounts of fake domains just bounces.
But, the spammer is spamming you for a reason. they are either selling, scamming, or harvisting you email address. several repeat spammers do very little to change their messages, but it is their links that truly give them away. Links to addresses that have the same url structure or same query parameters. Little keys they use to validate your address once you click the link.
I like to explore the link patterns that I find in my mail box. if i see a url with ?email=my@address.com I like to see if the same link will show up for different email values. I might send random addresses for a week and i reaalize that every email address value gives me the same page. It took me 100,000 tries to figure that out.
I also see addresses like this:
domain1.com/bnr/03793284721
domain2.com/bnr/03793284721
domain3.com/bnr/03793284721
domain4.com/bnr/03793284721
domain5.com/bnr/03793284721
I tried this structure with random numbers and 100,000 tries latter, every page was the same. hmm,... go figure
