ZEROSPAM at the MIT SPAMCONFERENCE
02 April 2008
ZEROSPAM was represented by Louis Munro at the 2008 MIT Spamconference held March 27-28 in Cambridge Massachussetts. The conference is a chance for international experts and technicians dealing in research and operations on email security to discuss issues related to the field electronic communications security.
The ZEROSPAM team was especially interested by talks given by the Comcast team on ISP botfighting. Michael O'Reirdan (distinguished engineer) presented how Comcast implemented a new distributed and mutilayered filtering infrastructure similar in concept to ZEROSPAM's and made up of a series of network based tests, heuristics and contents analysis and anti-virus software. Tobias Eggendorfer also presented the state of his research on advanced filtering using simulated smtp tarpits. Useful discussions also centered around the use of the DNS system and MX records to fight non-rfc compliance by spammers.
ZEROSPAM wishes to thank the volunteers who made Spamconference possible.
