Makes sense. That explains why news.admin.net-abuse.email would a target. Why do they attack alt.test or gnu.gnusenet.test?
I wonder what program they're useing to generate the nonsense text?
Thanks for responding to my post-:)
I went to one of the Threads you recommended........

If this is in fact code it's pretty complex for non-english speaking foreigners. The al Qaeda were pretty anal about keeping notebooks. Notebooks with observations on how long dogs took to die when exposed to cyanide gas; notebooks with chemical formulas; notebooks with inventories of weapons and who had checked them out; etc., etc. Were there any notebooks recovered that covered standard code words for their operatives to use?
Some clean farmers inside the rural store were talking near the thin monolith. Don't even try to change the butchers hatefully, hate them cruelly. Nowadays, it cares a spoon too lost without her upper house. He will fill blank enigmas on the glad quiet summer, whilst Abu stupidly believes them too. These days, go kill a tailor! I was tasting to talk you some of my sick dusts. All lazy dirty onions will loudly sow the shopkeepers.
Farmers=?; store=?; monolith=?; butchers=?; spoon=?; upper house=?; enigmas=?; tailor=?; dusts=?; onions=?; shopkeepers=? There has to be a decoder for all this uninteligible crap.
I always dismissed it as the work of some kook named Thomas Boschloo who lives in the Netherlands and apparently has some kind of grudge against the group. But now I see the words 'Moustapha' and 'Boschloo' often appear together in these posts. It was a big mistake to educate ragheads at our universities, and it is an even BIGGER one that we're still doing it. We're teaching them how to kill us for crying out loud.
Even if they are not forged, usually these mean little. Many spammers have software that probes for open relays or formmail scripts that can be hijacked.
I have a couple of attempts on my site every day.
Herndon, VA is where Network solutions and AOL live. France is spam-friendly (Wannadoo.fr is one of the worst spam spigots on earth; Their abuse department is useless.) Canada has long been a troublesome source, even before spam mail, they ran telemarketing boiler room operations there.
The FBI has had a look-see. What they've done with the information is beyond my reach.
USA TODAY.com (AP): Sidon, Lebanon. "AMERICAN MISSIONARY KILLED IN SOUTH LEBANON" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "...The clinic provides medical care and help to local people and Palestinian refugees in camp nearby. "Bonnie died because she loved the people of Sidon," he told reporters outside the center. "May God forgive them," Dagher said of the attackers. Muslim clerics have criticized the Unity Center in the past, accusing it of preaching Christianity and trying to indoctrinate Sidon's youth...") (ARTICLE NOTE: The victim is identified as Bonnie Penner, age 31, wife of Gary Whitherall.) (112102)
FOX NEWS.com: "TWO GIs SHOT BY KUWAITI POLICEMAN" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "KUWAIT CITY - Two U.S. Army soldiers were shot and seriously wounded on Thursday, when a Kuwaiti policeman opened fire after a highway traffic stop, the Kuwaiti government said. The Kuwaiti Interior Ministry said the policeman, identified as a junior officer, fled to Saudi Arabia shortly after the shooting.") (112102)
Hipcrime was the writer.program that was later perverted into a weapon, something like AOHELL, if anyone remembers that..Heh heh.
BUt nanae gets hit a lot with such things. Last time the poster was using some unsecured relay in India. This latest I have not seen , because I stopped downloading headers when I saw the message count. My newsserver will filter them all out overnight.
Why even MY posting name is in some of the datafiles, and shows up once every blue moon in these. To the 14-year-old self abuser, putting something fearful like Arabic or terrorist sounding names in such a file would be irresistable.
It's not too much to expect that a simple warning be placed in advance of posting such a graphic photo, or a hot link to the pic as D. Squat suggested.
I'm not suggesting censorship, however, a pic such as that does NOT need to be simply tossed in a thread without any consideration to any of the members of this forum.
These are just a sampling, there are hundreds more.
The IP in Herndon, VA is owned by RoadRunner (another moderately large ISP). France and Canada also have large, vocal, populations of Muslims as well as spammers. I often trace Palestinian hackers back to ISPs in Israel.
Right now, it appears to be a mystery. I think more research is needed.
In these posts, they often use PGP to verify their signature, so the receiver of the message knows exactly where the nonsense text came from -- check a few of them out.
Don't know why they don't just encrypt the whole message (but maybe it is encrypted).
