Re: [Declude.JunkMail] some spam slipping through...

2003-11-10 Thread Matthew Bramble




Scot,

The dictionary randomization is obviously a better system and won't get
tagged by many of my tests.  The DYNAMIC filter would have scored this
one though, as well as some others.  It would be a good idea to look at
adding canada.com to SPAMDOMAINS if you can find the standard reverse
DNS entries for their service (please share the info if you do find it
so that I can add it too).  This type of spam will mostly use domains
appropriate for SPAMDOMAINS, which makes it a great test if you have
the entries.  I recommend configuring SPAMDOMAINS in the following
format:

    @aol.com      aol.com

I score my DYNAMIC filter at a 3, and it is over 98% positive on spam
of this type since it likely comes from broadband zombie machines. 
That would have been enough to fail this message on your system. 
Considering that you have seen the URL several times, Message Sniffer
might have it listed, and SPAMCOP has now added the IP as well.

Attached is a more current version of DYNAMIC.  This is definitely
better than what was previously shared since I excluded some
business-class providers from scoring points by way of negative
weight.  In addition to this custom filter, there are recommendations
for which DUL lists to add and the relative scoring.  That IP also
scores a hit for EASYNET-DYNA, which adds another 4 points in my
configuration.

If that message missed all of the non-DUL type of RBL's, and without
any effective body filtering or SPAMDOMAINS hits would have still
scored as follows on my system:

    4 - EASYNET-DYNA
    3 - DYNAMIC
    3 - FOREIGN
    1 - NOABUSE
    1 - NOPOSTMASTER
    =
    12 Points Total (fails at 10)

Make sure that you customize the appropriate lines in the DYNAMIC
filter for your own local domains and reverse DNS entries so it won't
add points to to that type of E-mail (will miss some forged spam, but
it is necessary).

No. Your GIBBERISH filter did not get triggered either. I am using your

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] some spam slipping through...

2003-11-10 Thread Matthew Bramble
Fritz,

Well, you did pretty well on tagging that one I would say :)  You caught 
it with a SPAMDOMAINS entry for instance, and I can't verify if Message 
Sniffer would catch this.  The only additional scoring that my server 
would have levied outside of Message Sniffer would have been with my 
DYNAMIC filter (search the archives), which looks for REVDNS strings 
that contain IP addresses in the naming.

This particular randomization method makes use of a dictionary for 
inserting the random text, and the GIBBERISH filters wouldn't catch it, 
however there is typically more than one type of obfuscation method used 
which makes these fairly easy to tag.

The broken randomization in the subject was intended to insert a line 
like the following:

   Subject: [5] Re: Yadda yadda yadda

This is done to fool some subject tagging systems, though I don't know 
how effective it is.  There is a simple test for this one technique 
though when the randomization actually works:

   SUBJECT  15   BEGINSWITH   [0]
   SUBJECT  15   BEGINSWITH   [1]
   SUBJECT  15   BEGINSWITH   [2]
   SUBJECT  15   BEGINSWITH   [3]
   SUBJECT  15   BEGINSWITH   [4]
   SUBJECT  15   BEGINSWITH   [5]
   SUBJECT  15   BEGINSWITH   [6]
   SUBJECT  15   BEGINSWITH   [7]
   SUBJECT  15   BEGINSWITH   [8]
   SUBJECT  15   BEGINSWITH   [9]
   SUBJECT  15   CONTAINS   re[0]
   SUBJECT  15   CONTAINS   re[1]
   SUBJECT  15   CONTAINS   re[2]
   SUBJECT  15   CONTAINS   re[3]
   SUBJECT  15   CONTAINS   re[4]
   SUBJECT  15   CONTAINS   re[5]
   SUBJECT  15   CONTAINS   re[6]
   SUBJECT  15   CONTAINS   re[7]
   SUBJECT  15   CONTAINS   re[8]
   SUBJECT  15   CONTAINS   re[9]
Those are at least the two variations that I have seen, but I never seem 
to see this stuff getting through with the other protections in place.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] How can I whitelist my users? Reverse DNS?

2003-11-10 Thread Matthew Bramble
Whitelisting by IP is the safest since it is the hardest to spoof.  
Whitelisting by reverse DNS would do no better than by IP because you 
have off-network users connecting directly to your mail server (seen 
with that X-Declude-Sender entry), so choose IP over reverse DNS.  The 
best solution though would be to upgrade to IMail 8 and Declude 1.76 in 
order to make use of Declude's WHITELIST AUTH functionality which will 
whitelist SMTP AUTH'ed users.  There have been enough reports about 
IMail 8 having issues (only on the 8.03 release) to scare me away from 
the rush to upgrade.

We've seen this coming from a variety of sources. I guess we can just filter
for that string in the SUBJECT? It's not failing enough tests to give it a
high enough weight.
Anyone else seeing this?
 

All the time actually, but it's all over the place, often in fake tags 
and comments in the HTML body code, or in the subject where the name 
ought to be.  I don't know that it is effective to stop this by 
filtering for the variables they use because such patterns don't last 
long in my experience.

This is the type of message though that typically has many 
characteristics that my own custom filters are tagging.  Relying 
exclusively on RBL's and built-in technical tests will let a lot of this 
stuff through, however at the same time, there are many patterns which 
are common enough to this sort of spam that you should be able to catch it.

The FOREIGN/TLD filter set that I shared yesterday for instance would 
have added at least 3 points to this message and possibly two more 
depending on the X-Declude-Sender which you cut out.  This type of spam 
also tends to randomize the From, HELO and MAILFROM addresses, and/or 
use common domains like aol.com or yahoo.com, in which case some points 
from a SPAMDOMAINS test would be effective.  The body often has 
gibberish in it, if not the subject, and the my GIBBERISH filters work 
for that, or they use obfuscation to hide URL's from filtering software 
which can also be caught without keeping track of the URL's themselves.  
This spam is also commonly sent from zombie machines resulting from 
virus infections, and they are often on residential broadband networks, 
in which case my DYNAMIC filter might add some points (but not in this 
case).  Message Sniffer also might be tracking the URL's in the body for 
another potential hit.

Maybe if you shared the entirety of the message body plus the MAILFROM, 
I and others could tell you what common used/shared filters might be 
effective.

[Declude.JunkMail] some spam slipping through...

2003-11-10 Thread Scot Desort
We've had quite a bit of spam getting through lately, all with a similarly
formatted subject line:

Notice the "%RND_UC_CHAR[2-8]" in the subject. Looks like broken spam
software that is supposed to insert RaNDom characters into the subject.
We've seen this coming from a variety of sources. I guess we can just filter
for that string in the SUBJECT? It's not failing enough tests to give it a
high enough weight.

Anyone else seeing this?

I spoke with one of our programmers regarding a simple idea I had to allow us to 
simplify white list
administration via the Web. All we have to do is upload new entries in a text file and 
have them
automatically added to my existing white list text file. But he wants to install a

at any
possible compatibility issues or gotchas?

# OBFUSCATION
# Last Update: 11/02/2003
#
# Description:
# Encoding of letters and numbers in E-mail is unnecessary, however various techniques 
are
# sometimes used by spammers to hide from filters, even mixing multiple techniques in 
URL's at
# times.  This filter will detect text and URL encoding only in combinations where 
multiple
# encoded numbers and characters are in succession or mixed with HTTP address 
components.  More
# information on URL obfuscation techniques can be found at: 
http://www.pc-help.org/obscure.htm
#
# Usage:
# OBFUSCATION filter C:\IMail\Declude\Obfuscation.txt x 7 0
#
# False Positives:
# Web designers and programmers passing inline code, ASCII text art, and legitimate 
bulk mailers
# that needlessly URL encode letters and numbers in their script arguments (only 
special
# characters are necessary).  False positives are extremely rare.


# Counterbalances:
# Negative weighting is applied for responsible bulk mailers that fail this test.
#
# Test Exclusions:
# Ticketmaster.

  Experience with Statistical Filtering [IMail 8.02]
  
  Hi;
   
  Just 
  wondering if others have experimented with the Statistical Filtering of 
  IMail.  I am simply sharing what I have seen so far since last 
  week.
   
  I started 
  testing it last week and so far it is showing good results.  Several 
  instances it was enough weight to block a spam that would have otherwise 
  gone through with our filters.
   
  I simply 
  enabled Statistical Filtering and chose Insert Header 
  option.
   
  then added 
  the following to our header filter:
   
  HEADERS  
  3  
  CONTAINS  
  X-IMAIL-SPAM-STATISTICS: 
  0.9HEADERS  
  5  
  CONTAINS  
  X-IMAIL-SPAM-STATISTICS: 1.
   
  So far 
  anything with 1 has been spam and several 0.9's are seen that all have 
  been spam.  Basically I have not seen a false positive with the 
  above.  I may increase their weights.. but need more time to 
  test.
   
  Anyone else 
  has any experience?  
   
  Regards,
  Kami

Experience with Statistical Filtering [IMail 8.02]





 





Hi;





 





Just wondering if others have experimented with the
Statistical Filtering of IMail.  I am simply sharing what I have seen so
far since last week.





 





I started testing it last week and so far it is showing
good results.  Several instances it was enough weight to block a spam that
would have otherwise gone through with our filters.





 





I simply enabled Statistical Filtering and chose Insert
Header option.





 





then added the following to our header filter:





 





HEADERS 
3 
CONTAINS 
X-IMAIL-SPAM-STATISTICS: 0.9
HEADERS 
5 
CONTAINS 
X-IMAIL-SPAM-STATISTICS: 1.





 





So far anything with 1 has been spam and several 0.9's are
seen that all have been spam.  Basically I have not seen a false positive
with the above.  I may increase their weights.. but need more time to
test.





 





Anyone else has any experience?  





 





Regards,
