note down the senders IP address..

use a sotware which lets u specify custom sender header so ur IP address will be hidden from the spammer, set the software on a pc 24/7 connected to internet and leave the software runing foreve sending the spammers unlimited messages via net send

i actually did that with someone now i think of him sitting and clicking the ok button on millions messages sent to him

To spam is to be a spammer it won’t stop them, in the long run they are making cash by doing it getting you to do something, purchase bitz and yes all the rest. Spammers are getting something out of it or they would not do it. Sending loads of mail spamming them will give them a bit of inconvenience but that is about it.

I wish that sending loads of mail to them back was a solution but unless all that get spam do it, it will not make a difference.

400 msg per second , the spammer would be crying

Same thing but with a different flavor Spam is Spam whether it is in letter format, Phone, E-mail or net send.

Sorry but I don’t believe in kill for a kill kind of thing nothing personal.

May be think about it this way. If you know how to spam in this way, You also know how to stop it.

Go to the START menu, Select Run and type in services.msc and click OK.

Now a new window will appear with lots of "services" on the right hand side...

Scroll down and find the Messenger service, select it, right click it and choose properties

Under Startup Type select Manual. (or Disabled)

Then click the Stop button.

Then click the Apply button.

Then click the OK button.

sometimes, it is nice to be the bad guy in the game... or we are supposed to be always the victims.

It only takes one mistake and the good guys get punished instead.

i think i was punished before.....

was it you the boss

When I was working for an ISP, we'd frequently get complaints that someone was bombing their email, messenger, or whatever. We'd shut the offender down, and put them on the webhost/isp blacklist.

Next day, we'd get a call from them explaining that they were just trying to get back at some spammer and didn't realize that the spammer was smarter than they were when it came to spoofing the source.

Didn't matter why they were spamming, the AUP for most ISP's says "you will not spam". It doesn't say "you will not spam except if someone spammed you first".

Thats to say that the means justifies the ends.

People should not spam full stop, it just creates problems for everyone involved. Email has been hit hard and its almost impossible to have a Hotmail account that is not loaded with spam email. Now we could be doing something on our computers and all of the sudden we are hit with spam net send messages ( I know you can Disable Them). Where does it stop?

People need to stop spamming 'all together'. Thats my 2cents

Spam will never stop and can never stop. And it SHOULD NOT stop. What one person calls spam another calls email. BCE is a different story, but even then, the lines are blurry. If you send email from a company account, then that email is necessarily commercial, and if you send more than 1 email, is it then bulk?

I should be able to send a single email to somebody and have it delivered properly. This doesn't happen. Sending email is VERY difficult these days mostly in part to ISPs and the like all jumping on the "can spam" bandwagon. This is great if they can target those people or those "emails" properly, but they don't. The baby gets thrown out with the bath water.

It's the people who hijack othe computers for sending email that need to be punished, and punished severely. That is outright theft. Nail them for that, and NOT spam. Spam violations are minor. Send them to jail for theft - that's a better answer.

But 'retailating' against them is futile. You can't do it effectively because a single computer on a piddly little DSL or cable connection will make zero difference to them.

God spam is frustrating...

by punishing the spammers aren't you becoming the thing that you hated?

If law can not punish spammers, and you will not punish spammers, so who will?

God. He will strike down the infidel spammers and roast them in a fury of IRC flames!

i still hope to see a headline on a news paper someday like this

"al-queeda spammer nabbed"

More than likely it will. I have a story on that about a kid that net send to all on the network including the headmaster and got banned from school (It was not me and I am not telling you what was posted).

No, I am innocent until proven guilty  I just hacked the computer teachers PC and played his games on it. He rewarded me with detention and getting me to show him how I did it.

Disable mssenger ion services at Install.  Then anyone who attempts to penetrate my fiewall more than three times and is not a random ping will find themselfs Under DDOS attack, SQL INjections, SUB7 Trojans, and lets not forget one of my favorites,  http://www.areyoufearless.com - www.areyoufearless.com software.  I dont play.  And yes it is fun the knock a server off line, especailly a big one.    I wake up at night dreaming of knocking the MWP server off line, and then leaving my trademark signiture behind.  HA HA!  Damm Yuppies!    I dont find any enjoyment being anonamous.  I want you to know it was me, it I go that far. 

this happened more than year and half ago..

a guy had a crush on girl. the girl came to know abt it through rumors and didnt like him, told him to f**k off and convicted him of harasssing her

later in the lab the same guy was playing with windows remote desktop when he accidently connected to the PC being used by that same girl working hard on her assestment, when she unexpectedly got knocked out due to remote desktop losing all her work....u can imagine her reaction

since she thought he did it on purpose our IT teacher banned the entry of that guy into computer lab execpt ONLY for his lesson.. he is not to come into lab during free time for what ever reason.. hehe

ohh and this guy was a dumbass hacker-wanna-be and always messed the lab computers so i even put logon hours restriction on his user account.. he could only login during his lesson timings and kicked out when logon hour expires
