View Full Version : Technically... can you spam a spamserver?

Just received a spammail from a "girl" that wanted answers to:

zpus@mailmessagecenter.info

Now I wondered, if I just keep that address on my desktop and fill it in whenever I`m seeing annoying pop ups, porn pages, sign up for newsletters.. after a week whoever owns that adress should get like 200 spammails a day which he will use (because its a spamserver) to spam back these spamservers again...

Technically, would it make any difference? Can you create so much spam that a spammer itself is actually noticing it?

wouldn't matter leff the email addresses used by spammers are usually either fake or used then the hosting provider drops them so they dont exist or are full and you can't send to them anyway.

Best way to get back at a spammer if you've got a real email address for them is to find a zombie net and get it to target them. Nothing like DDoSing a spam server.

What is a zombie net? It's a net for catching zombies, works on the same principles as a fishing net.

That looks like a butterfly net. What kind of puny fish do you catch, girly-man?

What is a zombie net?

A zombie net is a network of zombie computers controlled by a trojan/worm that has infected them, normally joining them to some random IRC channel assigned by the creator listening in for commands to do stuff. Normally zombie nets are used to DDoS targets as all the controller has to do is send them the command to unleash their payload on a certain IP once every fixed time interval, which is multiplied over the number of computers on the zombie net causing a collective DDoS. In terms of bandwidth you generally can't spot a PC in a zombie net because it on its own isn't spamming packets, but collectively it makes quite a mess for the target.
