Configuring CRM114 with Postfix

"CRM114 is a system to examine incoming e-mail, system log streams, data files or other data streams, and to sort, filter, or alter the incoming files or data streams according to the user's wildest desires. Criteria for categorization of data can be by satisfaction of regexes, by sparse binary polynomial matching with a Bayesian Chain Rule evaluator, or by other means. Accuracy of the SBPH/BCR classifier has been seen in excess of 99 per cent, for 1/4 megabyte of learning text. In other words, CRM114 learns, and it learns fast."

spamhole

"Many spammers constantly search for open SMTP relays, or mail servers that will allow anyone to send e-mail through them. Using these servers, they send mass amounts of unsolicited bulk mail (SPAM). Most diligent mail admins on the Internet these days do not run open relays, however there are many out there that still do. Many viruses and trojans are beginning to appear that turn an unsuspecting cablemodem or DSL user's computer into an open relay without the user's knowledge. The most common way for spammers to find these open relays is for the virus or trojan to report it's existance directly to them, or by methodically scanning netowrks looking for them. This project hopes to make the latter method a waste of time and effort.

"To accomplish our goal, we take the chaff approach. By creating as many false 'open relays' on the Internet as possible, we hope to make the detection and use of a real open relay as much of a chore as we can, as well as waste as much time and effort as we can of any spammers that find and use our spamholes as if they were real open relays."

Web Application Worms: Myth or Reality?

"This paper discusses the possibility of automated, self-propagating attacks on custom Web application code. It will show that such attacks are not only feasible but that their theoretical success rate is far greater than worms targeting commercial infrastructure. It is the intent of this paper to raise awareness of the threat posed by automated attacks on vulnerabilities that exist in every organization’s Web infrastructure. Threats of this type that cannot be avoided by counting on current IPS technologies and the law of large numbers." By Imperva.
