several things: 1) the site is dead now. 403 Forbidden, for some reason. 2) the guy who posted it to this list isnt/wasnt the maintainer. ie, he didnt write the about.html. 3) yes, it is illegal in most countries to participate in this. we can pretty safely assume that thats why the site is now dead. either that or the maintainer overran his own bandwidth requirements in the process of trying to exhaust those of spammers. this would certainly be ironic. 4) this attack is more than likely illegal in your area but not immoral anywhere. use TOR if you wish to participate in future attacks like this to avoid being implicated.

In any case I do like the idea of denying the Spam mongerers their web presence. I have a question from the /about.html on fightspam.nm.ru What makes you think Spammers pay their hosting bills?
