Writeup: OEM Software spammer

————

I caught a new spammer on annelisabeth today.

During the normal tracing process, I found that this guy is an old hand at spamming. He was caught on NANAS repeatedly in 2003 for mail spamming.

Here’s a sampler of his X-mailer lines:
X-Mailer: commit pray deprivation5459
X-Mailer: The Bat! (v1.49)
X-Mailer: olefin amazon manageable6571
X-Mailer: Holdit Mailer 4.04
X-Mailer: ChinHuan MaoZun 5.09
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200

He spammed from
195.206.123.33

And the domain (cheap-computer-software.com) is at:
195.206.123.59

I’m pretty sure he’s using a spambot. That seems the new weapon of choice for many spammers.

The IP block is from telecompoint-net in Russia, and is owned (according to RIPE) by Konstantin Melnikov.
