Anti - spammers are like gazelles . They ’re graceful , charming , and beautiful . Spammers , however , are like gazelle gut worms — they’re gross , make frightful diarrhoea , and eventually belt down the host . A perfect exemplar of this is Blue Frog . Blue Frog , and their avail Blue Security , originally offered folks a way to spam spammer . First , customers would post junk e-mail to the Blue Frog service which would reply to the spammer with a postulation to get rid of the victim from their list . If that did n’t work out , the system would fill up out any webforms it find on the spammer ’s website with requests to remove the dupe . It seemed to work jolly well .
Unfortunately , the spammers DDOSed Blue Security until it died . Because spammer are bastard - eating scum , they had hundreds of zombie auto at their fingertips and slammed Blue Frog into paste . Oh well . Could n’t someone crop out a SETI@Home sorting of thing that does this exact same thing ? Torrent the download and check that there is no one point of attack ?
