SpamPage

Spammers beware!

All spam found on the chongqed.org wiki will end up on this page. All URLs and keywords will be redirected to a page on http://spammers.chongqed.org. This is basicly a list of really dumb spammers. If you're going to spam a wiki, why spam a wiki who's sole purpose is to fight spammers?

So far, these are the spammers that were this dumb that weren't blocked automatically:

note: This seems to be a very ineffective way to find spammable wikis. Strange.

Note: Method is the likely way the spammer attacked the wiki, it is always hard to tell a bot from a human, but by looking at the damage, attack speed, spammer stupidity, referrer, and user agent we can make an educated guess.

Anybody know those UA strings?

I'd be interested to know what exactly 'Maxthon', 'TencentTraveler?', and '.NET CLR' are. Anybody know this? And why the Alexa Toolbar when you do your searching with Google? – Manni - 2004-11-19 18:35

Maxthon is an Internet Explorer addon that gives IE many of the benifits of using Opera or Mozilla. Tabbed browsing, mouse gestures, skinning, plugins, privacy protection, and supposedly it uses less resources than normal IE. It used to be called MyIE2.

Alexa Toolbar is similar to the Google or Yahoo toolbars which I assume you have also not seen since you stay away from IE. There are clone Firefox extentions that give most of the features. They just give you quick access to whatever the service provides, other than their searches they have stuff like Yahoo's email, Google's PageRank, Alexa's site popularity, and most useful popup blocking. There is also a Netscape toolbar for IE I think.

I had never heard of TencentTraveler? until these referrers. I have no idea what it is, but you can download it from here apparently but I am not going to try it. It looks like its only available in Chinese. From bablefish it appears to be pretty similar to the other toolbars.

.NET CLR was also new to me, but a quick Google found me a bit of useful info. It is .NET's Common Language Runtime. Apparently it allows support for third party and legacy programming languages in .NET if you have a CLR complaint compiler for the other langage.

I just realized using IE now with VisualStudio.Net installed I get a similar browser string.

  Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Joe - 2005-03-13 23:15 UTC

Someone (adsl-149-251-217.msy.bellsouth.net) changed my text above about TencentTraveler? to this:

TenCentTraveler? is Mozilla Firefox in Chinese. It is a popular browser in China and can be found here: here bablefish

I don't think that is true, I can find nothing connecting it to Mozilla and the browser string it appears in is clearly IE. See Mozilla China.

Spammer Relations

I knew I had seen a spammer from the CHINA RAILWAY TELECOMMUNICATIONS CENTER before when the chunmeng.com spammer arrived. I just realized it was Spammer #2, googlebaidu. Their IPs are so close I wonder if they know each other or are somehow related. Their UAs, styles, and URL spammed for make it seem they are not the same spammer. Is the Railway just a good place for spammer to spam from? --Joe - 2004-11-24 16:38 UTC

At least the Chinese Railways have quite a big address space: 61.232.0.0 - 61.237.255.255. So they probably also have a huge number of open proxies (although Chinese spammers don't seem to need open proxies). Another possibility, of course, is that the railway folks also act as an ISP and have leased some numbers to spammers. – Manni - 2004-11-25 12:04


Does anyone else notice anything wrong with this UA:
  Mozilla/6.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)

IE 6 normally identifies itself as Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; …). After a bit or research I still can't figure out if its fake or just really rare from a beta or something.

This is interesting: http://www.projecthoneypot.org/harvester_useragents.php
