Researchers hunt comment spammers
Published: 2006-07-13



Microsoft researchers released details on Thursday about the software giant's Search Defender project, a tool created to discover the major sources of comment spam on the Internet.

The research project aims to remove the advantages that spammers gain through more efficient comment spamming techniques, looking for large networks that feed to central domains and asking Web hosters and search engines to shut down the doorway sites to those domains.

"Comment spamming is getting worse and worse, causing a lot of clutter," Yi-Min Wang, manager of Microsoft's Cybersecurity and Systems Management Research Group, said in an interview with SecurityFocus. "In this particular report, we basically describe an automatic method to find (the spammers) and we need the communities to help actually fight them."

I wonder if these tools have a dark side as well.

It is a pain to be reading a really interesting thread and run into a block of Spam.

But they've already solved that with sign up pages. Just type in the little squiggly code and they'll know you are human...well, somewhat human.
