These include reliable packet dissection, implementing a dissection framework, and using a framework to help design sniffers. My relevant code is in Perl, but is simple enough for the average geek to follow along. If that isn't simple enough for you, learn Perl. Or consult your regional perldoc."

Submission + - How Does One Combat Spam?

An anonymous reader writes: Hey Slashdot crowd, I was curious if anyone has any suggestions on offensively dealing with spam. For a couple years I've been fairly lucky — I haven't really been smacked with spam, maybe one spam e-mail a day or so — but recently I've been getting up to 50 junk e-mails per day on most of my addresses. I don't want to change my e-mail address nor my personal domain because of these idiots, so that's out of the question. My e-mail client does a decent job of cleaning it up and putting it in the Junk mail folder, but are there any offensive measures you guys take against a spammer?

Is there any organization or some sort of united front where I may send my junk e-mail to so it can be analyzed or dealt with? Really, anything at all that can be done so I feel like I'm making a difference instead of just bending over and taking it?
