Reducing spam to 20% of its original value with a SMTP tar pit simulator
نویسنده
چکیده
Unsolicited commercial email (UCE, spam), scam and phishing emails make up for more than 90% of all emails sent world-wide. Most antispam methods known rely on filtering emails. Meanwhile, browsers also check URLs against blacklists to avoid fraud. However, all those methods are reactive, ergo they are only able to deal with known attack patterns. Some methods are computing intensive, thus require very powerful CPUs and lots of memory. They also require regular updates and lots of maintenance. An ideal solution would neither consume computing power nor require maintenance.

Dynamically blocking access to web pages for spammers' harvesters
Almost all current anti spam measures are reactive, filtering being the most common. But to react means always to be one step behind. Reaction requires to predict the next action of the attacker. So the focus on fighting spam should rather be on prevention. Current proposals focus on fixing SMTP's lack of authentication, but introduce two new major problems: First, all current attempts break ex...

As all the traffic between the public Internet and the customer’s desktop must be interconnected through ISP’s access network, this work thus makes use of the transportation traffic log gathered from backbone router to develop SMTP flooding detection system (SFDS), so that the most spam could be detected and stopped at the original fan-out network. The system has been deployed over a TANet (Tai...
متن کاملInvestigation of Bishop’s and Janbu’s Models Capabilities on Slope Stability Problems with Special Consideration to Open-Pit Mining Operations
One of the most effective parameters in economics of open-pit mines is the pit slope angle, so that the slope angle more than the optimum value increases the probability of a large failure in the pit wall and the slope angle less than the optimum value leads to increasing stripping ratio and reducing net present value of mine. Therefore, in this paper, considering the limit equilibrium methods ...
