BlankAre there any end users who are using the VAMSOFT IMAGE SPAM AGENT tht would like to comment on it's effectiveness / processor utilization? ----- Original Message ----- From: David Barker To: declude.junkmail@declude.com Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 12:08 PM Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Image spam
Declude and Image based spam - 4 methods 1. COMMTOUCH Commtouch Recurrent Pattern Detection contains an intrinsic mechanism to exact-match recurrent patterns across similar but not-identical messages. However in the case of images, the minute the spammer makes even the smallest changes to an image, the image-encoded data appears completely different. Commtouch identified this trend in the earliest days of image-based spam, and made the necessary enhancements to its detection engine in order to defend against this new threat with a sophisticated protection shield. Commtouch invested significant resources into developing a method for decoding the images and then sampling them using the proven RPD approach. The result is a significantly improved spam detection rate, while maintaining the same low false-positive rate. 2. CLAMWIN Using ClamAV as a virus scanner with Declude you can download the MSRBL-Images.hdb file which has additional signatures (MD5 sigs) which contains signatures created from images contained within spam emails. http://www.msrbl.com/site/msrblimagesdownload 3. FILTER-CID Identifies emails which contains images increasing the weight suffeciently on spam messages to reach the spam threshold. #EXCEPTIONS BODY END NOTCONTAINS cid: BODY END NOTCONTAINS Content-Type: image/ #IMAGES BODY 3 CONTAINS src=3D"cid: BODY 3 CONTAINS src="cid: BODY 3 CONTAINS src='cid: BODY 3 CONTAINS img src="cid: BODY 3 CONTAINS img src=3Dcid: BODY 3 CONTAINS /cid: #IMAGE TYPES BODY 2 CONTAINS Content-Type: image/gif; BODY 2 CONTAINS Content-Type: image/jpeg; 4.
