Are Botnets Beating Us in the War on Spam?
(Page 1 of 5 )

They’re calling it Spam 2.0: a huge wave of unsolicited bulk email whose senders use sophisticated techniques to get around spam filters. Some spam fighters look at the botnet-generated flood and say we’re losing the war on spam. Why are we getting so much more spam now, and is there a way to stem the tide?

The numbers are almost indisputable. According to Postini, an online message management company, spam volume has risen 73 percent in the last three months. For the year, the quantity of spam is up 143 percent. Other studies have noted that spam accounts for as many as nine out of every ten emails sent.

The story gets worse though. Spammers are embedding their text-based messages in images, which spam filters can’t read well enough to block. This is called “image spam,” and you can read more about its increase in recent months in another article on this site. Images take up several times as much space as text, so the rise in image spam means that more bandwidth is being consumed by spam, overloading networks and aggravating users.

Announcing a new module for PHP-Nuke: GCalendar 1.0.0!

GCalendar is an event calendar, similar to NuCalendar, but features more sophisticated repeating events. Events may repeat daily, weekly, monthly (by day or date), and yearly. Events can be submitted by users with optional admin approval. GCalendar uses CSS so site admins can tailor the look of the module to their themes. GCalendar comes with a sample upcoming events block.

GCalendar has been tested on PHP-Nuke 7.9 (patched) and RavenNuke 2.02.02!

Head on over to the GCalendar SourceForge Page to download it.

news; UploadIt 3 Released!

primefx writes "UploadIt 3 integrates with your users accounts, allowing your member to manage there uploaded files. Administrators can delete the files they wish. Set the number of files users can upload to help save server space.
The default is 5. Files are automatically renamed to prevent users uploading hacking scripts with names like file.php.zip

The last 2 versions did not do this. It automatically creates folders for each user and copies a blank index file in that folder to prevent illegal directory browsing. There is a default upload size of 5MB per file.

And for security reasons only .ZIP files have been allowed. Paging is built in so the default page will only show 10 items per page. Fields on upload form include Title, Description, and File. Download Here from www.YourCodes.com and www.YourBeats.com"
