New Antiproxy Software 2010

• A program that a spammer uses to collect ("scrape" or "harvest") e-mail addresses from websites, usenet news groups, etc.
• To cross-post is to send a single message to multiple newsgroups.
• This is preferable to sending single copies of a message to each newsgroup for three reasons: First, by only sending a single copy, you reduce network resource consumption.
• Second, most newsreaders allow users to view and discard a crossposted message with just one reading, even if they subsequently visit other newsgroups to which the message was posted.
• Third, a followup reponse to the original article will be seen in all the relavent newsgroups, instead of just the one.
• Usenet is a huge collection of newsgroups about every and any topic you can imagine.
• Once a person posts to a newsgroup, it is transmitted to news servers all over the world for other people to see.
• Spammers often extract email addresses from newsgroups, so many people have stop using usenet or hide their email when posting.
• Massive floods of forged articles, typically intended to disrupt a newsgroup, in which gibberish articles containing reasonable-looking headers are spammed to the group, make the legitimate articles too difficult to find.
• When the user tries to leave, a new window pops up back at the web site.
• The term is from radio, but can also be applied to newsgroups.
• The "signal" in a newsgroup is regular postings which are on-topic.
• The "noise" in a newsgroup is everything else that does not help contribute to the purpose for which the newsgroup was created.
