joker.com down

November 27th, 2005 No comments

Today on joker.com’s website is the following:

Our Web site as well as our system will undergo a scheduled maintenace [sic] at 11.00 UTC on November, 27th. It will take approximately two (2) hours. Your domains will be resolvable as usual.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Your Joker.com team

So, I don’t know whether anything went wrong but none of the domains I have registered with joker.com will resolve to URLs to which they are forwarded. It looks like none of Joker’s servers are performing the URL forwarding.

Mailinator:Spam Map

September 20th, 2005 No comments

Ever wondered where all that spam is coming from? Take a look at Mailinator’s Spam Map.

They have mapped the geo-lookup of the IP addresses in their received spam against google‘s maps.

Doesn’t seem to be much there at the moment, and I suppose that distributed bot nets won’t show up because they wouldn’t make it into the top list.

I was surprised to see the one in London was one of uk2.net‘s mail servers.

Postscript: Brian Pipa who wrote the code for the Spam Map contacted me about the above image, asking which browser/OS was used (Mac OS X/Safari), as the formatting was not as it should look.

I find it ironic that a company who is supposed to be protecting my PC, requires me to use an insecure piece of software to download it’s AV product.
