Scary Blogspam Automation Tools

Just wondering if your article is an infomercial for Botmaster.net. You certainly have given them a lot of free advertising by not only naming them, but also by coveniently providing links to their website. Does someone at WaPo own all or part of Botmaster.net?

No, I think Brian is basically proving that the product exists. Far too many other journalists write crappy articles and are nothing but schills for AV companies. I'm glad to see a reporter actually backing up what they say.

You have to know the enemy and the weapons used by the enemy before you can defend against them. I hate spammers. All of them. They are much lower on the food chain than telemarketers.

At least you can get off telemarketing lists.

Don't be naive Kevin. Professional spammers don't read the washington post for ideas on how to control your computer, spam your email or invade your blog... they are already doing it while you are reading or rather, they already done so yesterday when you had intentions to read the paper.

Guys it's just an web evolution - you build stop-spam software, we buy anti stop-spam software. As a result web makes one more step in their evolution.

Afaik, XRumer is used to spam forums, not blogs. Maybe it can do both, but if you look at the URLs in the video, they are all forums. At the bottom of the GUI, it shows the forum software that can be targeted, phpBB, YaBB, Invision Power Board, etc. I've seen a lot of forum spam that was likely done by XRumer.

That being said, I'm sure there are tools to mass spam blogs too. Here's a discussion about one, and it's been around for 2 1/2 years.

"xRumer" is not the best software for spam.

Охуеть дайте две

Низачот!

Братва вы о чем ?:)

You should also take a look at automated spam blogs, I think this is of interest as well.

I found two specific software titles, there are probably dozens more now. They scrape RSS feeds of blogs similar to your keywords, copy the posts whole, and stick them in a blog template of your choosing. Google adsense is added for a revenue stream.

Many of the automated spam tools are now not pumping stock or pr0n links, they are pumping spam blogs. A few of the automated spamming tools are also starting to pull text from blogs, in addition to other sources, in order to fool spam prevention software.

Keep up the great site. It might be helpful to spend one post pointing to a bunch of different security websites, free virus/adware scanners, or security related weblogs, so your readers can find more information.

It's just an Internet evolution. :)

xRumer not a best soft.

Не позорили бы страну со своими "преведами" и "низачОтами".

My cool soft is not desktop application like XRumer. Java it`s da reel language for server-side spam tools. I promise I`ll finish spamming when PayPal will begin to receive payment in/out Moldavia&Russia. have it in mind.

We are russian mafia.

А я лью туда, где топа нет. Вот дерьмо.

P.S. Sit, relax and enjoy.

My God.

Spam advertising is the lowest thing that mankind has invented. I'm recoiling in disgust at the thought that a couple of people here actually use that sick little program. If I ever had faith in humanity, I've lost it now.
