Mr. Uh Clem:
Watch out for these posts. How do I do that -- climb a tree, hide in the bushes? And what do I do if I detect one? They are part of an attack on the news.admin.net-abuse.email newsgroup by an entity known as "hipcrime". (google for it.) Who gives a rat's kneecaps? Forged posts are made to various groups with the followup-to: header set to news.admin.net-abuse.email. NANAE is being bombarded directly and indirectly by the "WTF!", "I didn't post that!", etc. responses. If you want to post a warning to a group or groups, make sure you reset the headers appropriately, or you will be aiding hipcrime in the DOS. Aren't such posts kind of their own warning? Why would I want to call further attention to them as you have done? Or do you love this sort of thing because it makes you feel like a great public servant? Are you in fact the perp, like a fireman-arsonist? Davoud -- usenet *at* davidillig dawt com |

Just another example that it is way overdue to rewrite most of the protocols in use on the internet today. POP3, SMTP, NNTP, DHCP, DNS, etc... all need to be more secure. All need to better identify the source and allow admins to control what gets onto their networks. |

Be aware of what is going on so as to post a denial/warning in your groups as noted below. They are part of an attack on the news.admin.net-abuse.email newsgroup by an entity known as "hipcrime". (google for it.) Who gives a rat's kneecaps? Good netizens. People who are interested in getting this to stop. Forged posts are made to various groups with the followup-to: header set to news.admin.net-abuse.email. NANAE is being bombarded directly and indirectly by the "WTF!", "I didn't post that!", etc. responses. If you want to post a warning to a group or groups, make sure you reset the headers appropriately, or you will be aiding hipcrime in the DOS. Aren't such posts kind of their own warning? Obviously not. The posts are a trap, they confuse people. They annoy people. They trick people into making posts such as "This was not sent by me.... I don't know how this happened... I have no idea what gives" which have been raining in on NANAE by the thousands. Tricked respondents are then further confused when their posts disappear. The volume and variety of responses implies that the splorgeries have been posted all over the place, to the detriment of all. Why would I want to call further attention to them as you have done? Posts on NANAE would be pointless and would stoke the ego of the perp. Posts in other groups serve to inoculate the groups against the attacks. People will know what is going on and the attack will lose its power. Or do you love this sort of thing because it makes you feel like a great public servant? I want to blunt the attacks. Your remark is uncalled for. Are you in fact the perp, like a fireman-arsonist? Davoud No. Are you in fact an asshole? If you need the obvious spelled out to you further, someone else will have to do it. I'm outta this thread. -- This was not sent by me.... I don't know how this happened... I have no idea what gives Clem "If you push something hard enough, it will fall over." - Fudd's first law of opposition |

NANAE is a clearinghouse for up to date information regarding the lastest sources of spam. hipcrime is trying to lower the signal to noise ratio and make NANAE less effective through the mechanisms Mr. Uh Clem wrote.
