Encoded Spam

 [1/2] from: al::bri::xtra::co::nz at: 28-Sep-2002 23:49


If anyone wants to see this encoded spam I've got, email me directly at [Al--Bri--xtra--co--nz] and I'll send you a copy as an attachment. Here's what part of it looks like as plain text: ------=_NextPart_000_00D4_38A53D6B.E4607E15 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT0NCklu dmVzdG1lbnQgaW4gdGVjaG5vbG9neSB0aGF0IHdpbGwgbWFrZSB5b3UgbW9u ZXkuDQo9PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09 Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://valley.150m.com/

Hi Andrew, That's just base64 encoded email as opposed to encrypted email. Your email client readily decodes this, and one also has to decode it prior to examing it with one's various filters. I would be interested in seeing some email that has a virus. I've deleted all those sent to me, and now I'm interested in seeing what has to be done to detect them. If you've got any, can you send them to rebol @ compkarori dot com and not to my usual email in case it gets through unnoticed! --Graham
