Hello, and thank you for setting up this forum.
Caught onto this forum after reading the awesome lengthy thread over on Digg.
I am quite active in going after spammers via annoying little tools like this one:
http://www.mytempdir.com/653575
I call it the PharmacyExpressorator(tm). It's based on a series of other automated javascript tools which I and others wrote to go after mortgage spammers.
This allows users to post "orders" to the renowned Pharmacy Express series of spamvertised websites.
I know for a fact that it works because I've seen them begin banning any IP address that starts using it. Also: they used to accept all kinds of credit cards. Now they only accept Visa (though they still show a mastercard logo.)
A very small number of people have been running this up til now. In light of the Blue Security attack, I think it's time to share the love.
It takes a bit of effort - you can't just automate it completely as they use .NET sessions to track each shopping cart. But it is definitely worth it.
In brief this tool does the following:
- Loads one of several active PharmacyExpress domains (just got two new ones now.
)
- You grab the generated ID and paste it into the field provided.
- Order from dozens of randomly selected "products"
- Submit your "order", using 100% randomly generated (but very realistic) names, addresses, zipcodes
- Use a fake, randomly generated (but able to pass mod10 checks) credit card number. This is now modified to only generate fake Visa numbers as well as accurate expiry dates, etc.
The odds of this info ever matching up to any real human being, anywhere in the continental US is precisely zero.
If you like it, tell your friends. The more "orders" that can be processed, the less likely Visa will be to allow them to post orders either.
This hits spammers hard. How many of these a day do you folks get? I was up around a few dozen a day until I started running this.
Spammers obviously need to be taught a rather large lesson. Acts like spamming Blue Security members obviously calls for a greater, more organized approach. This is only one of numerous such tools I have helped to create. I'll post more as they become available again (stupid spammers shut down their sites after a few days.)
Thanx for reading,
SiL
P.S. Those who have used this tool previously have said that posting orders manually gives them a peaceful, euphoric feeling. I am not responsible for any undue medical side-effects of using this tool.
