Just got a trackback spam on annelisabeth.

This one’s interesting, in that it appears to be a blog. It looked valid on the face of it.

When you open the page, you get a Server Error message.

But since I opened it in a text-browser, I saw a bunch of table junk beneath it and got suspicious enough to scroll to the bottom. Turns out there are lots of porn links…

I’m still unsure who this spammer is, but keep an eye out for trackbacks that lead to pages with server error. That could be clever concealed spam!

I also noticed that the IP number the spam was entered from is that of the server hosting the site. But even the front of the site has a Server Error message. But even though the page insists there’s a 500 error, the status code is actually 200…
