Very, very cgbadgc good!

By Mr. Bobbot | November 17, 2011 - 10:26 am | Spam 4 Comments

Found two quite interesting spam comments (captured by the almighty Akismet, of course) today. Both submitted at the same minute from users with the normal spammy randomized email addresses (name + random letter + random number @ aol.com). The IP addresses from the submitters originate from New Zealand and Germany.

“Hello! cgbadgc interesting cgbadgc site! I’m really like it! Very, very cgbadgc good!”

“Hello! adgekdd interesting adgekdd site! I’m really like it! Very, very adgekdd good!”

At first you’d think there’s not that many bloggers nowadays that don’t use any kind of spam filters and at the same time autoapproves comments from on unknown users. Well, think again. A simple search on the following line: “Hello! * interesting * site! I’m really like it! Very, very * good!” gives 8.2 million results.

The stupidity never ceases to amaze.

Back in the 1990′s, when Jurassic Park was still all the rage, Jeff Goldblum made an appearance to congratulate the gamer when the game The Lost World was beaten. Well, he sort of did, anyway.

Yesterday Microsoft released a security bulletin about a new vulnerability in TCP/IP which can allow an attacker to execute code remotely by a continuous flow of UDP packets to a closed port on the target’s Windows computer. This vulnerability affects Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. A security update has been released that modifies the way the UDP packets are kept track of in memory.

The best ASCII art

By Mr. Bobbot | November 4, 2011 - 11:19 am | Computer graphics 4 Comments

Back in the day when text files ruled the world the really cool (ahem) kids decorated the text files with ASCII art. Made famous by crackers everywhere.

If you have no idea what ASCII art is, you really need to click the link I just posted. I mean, really.

Here are a few sweet examples of great and sometimes rather famous ASCII art from a couple of cracking groups.
