Technology

So thanks to the good people at Project Honeypot, we now have a new tool to deal with S*P*A*M harvesters at a legal as well as technical level. Basically, the way it works is that I've set up an account there, they gave me a custom script, which I've installed at here: http://www.taupehat.com/pwnt/austereinboard.php which I am placing all over this thread and my site (also hidden throughout the source code) to attract the stupid bots. The bots swipe the email address (which is unique to every page hit), which is often hidden in the sourcecode of the page, do what those hosers do so much, and thus break the EULA implied in the page itself.

Looks like a lot of good clean fun, harming only a bunch of criminal nitwits who deserve nothing better than to be wrapped in barbed wire and fired into the sun. Personally, I'm sick of the barrage of "C1AL15" and "Cheap meds - our doc's are waiting on your to call!" (SIC) junk that floods my inbox, and would be happy to get some of their money for wasting my time. If you have a website, you should check it out, too =]
