How To Take Down A Competitor’s Site The Asshole Way
First create a free account on www.spamcop.net.
Spamcop.net is a large anti-email spam service that I hear is secretly
owned by Spamhaus (another free antispam service). It allows very bored
antispam vigilantes (”spamcops”) to anonymously report email spam. From
there they track down the host and server provider, tear out all the
contact info so they can’t trace it back to you, and send them a report
claiming you’ve been sending email spam. The fortunate and unfortunate
thing about spamcop.net is they are very reputable despite having no
method of verifying any of the reports are real. Hosts/server providers
take their reports very seriously and often times after 3-4 reports in a
short period will disconnect the targets server’s IP and a few more
after that cancel their server keeping all their files. It really is a
guilty until proven innocent scenario. The only way to win if someone is
reporting fake spam against you is to really be a spammer and just shut
down and move to a new host. If you’re a legit webmaster you’re pretty
much fucked to say the least because they’ll just keep telling you to
stop doing what you’re not doing and if they’re really patient they’ll
ask you to prove you’re no longer doing what you were never doing. LOL
DMCA Notices Don’t Have Shit On Spam Reports
Once you create your account and login go to the Report Spam tab…
*disclaimer*
I’M NOT ACTUALLY SAYING TO DO THIS. I’M SAYING IF YOU WERE TO DO IT
THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD DO BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING. I AM AN
ENLIGHTENER TO WHAT ALREADY HAPPENS EVERY DAY. I DON’T WANT TO BE SUED
BY THESE ASSHOLES. LOL
*/disclaimer*
Copy and paste a few
random spam emails currently in your inbox. Swap out the domains and ips
(they even give you neat tools for this!) and send away.
If you do
this every day for a week or two their server will eventually go
offline. For them it becomes an uphill battle to keep from getting shut
down.
This definitely isn’t a cool thing to do and isn’t in the
spirit of competition nor is it affective against large sites like
Wikipedia or Yahoo(DANG!). Likewise I wouldn’t recommend doing it, but
unfortunately the tactic exists and is in play already. The problem is
with reputation. Spamhaus and Spamcop.net has a reputation as never
being abused, but that’s only because no one ever bothers to check to
see if it is abuse giving them a near perfect record. True recent story:
I can’t say if my server really did send out spam or not originally
because I just had no way of knowing, but I got this spam complaint. It
was nearly worthless just had one of my domains as the links in the
spammail and my server IP. I couldn’t find the problem so I told the
server provider. That wasn’t acceptable with them so I made something
up, saying umm yeah it was a sendmail hack or something. I fixed it. I
fortunately could tell from some hidden code in the email that got
skipped by the censors who the spam complaint came from. I thought it
was over with but unfortunately I got complaints from him every day for
about a week and a half. I fended them off till they eventually shut off
my IPs with no warning and wouldn’t even give me access to the server
to fix the problem. Haha oddly enough they said they wouldn’t turn it
back on until I did fix the problem..idk. Anyways I said screw it and
let the server stay down for two weeks. I come back and the guy is still
sending spam complaints. Each one is dated for the current date.
Basically he was spinning these emails and claiming my server was
spamming him for two weeks without the server even being on. By the time
I could even point this out it was too late, the servers and everything
on them was pretty much dead.
THIS IS THE REALITY! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.
