Spamscatter: Characterizing Internet Scam Hosting Infrastructure
Overview Unsolicited bulk e-mail, or SPAM, is a means to an end. For virtually all such messages, the intent is to attract the recipient into entering a commercial transaction - typically via a linked Web site. While the prodigious infrastructure used to pump out billions of such solicitations is essential, the engine driving this process is ultimately the "Point-of-sale" - the various money-making "Scams" that extract value from Internet users. In the hopes of better understanding the business pressures exerted on spammers, this paper focuses squarely on the Internet infrastructure used to host and support such scams.
