Forwarded from: Doctor Spook <dr.spook@private> Title: Spam Kings: The Real Story behind the High-Rolling Hucksters... Author: Brian McWilliams Pages: 256 Publisher: O'Reilly; 1 edition (September, 2004) Reviewer: Dr. Spook ISBN: 0-596-00732-9 Buy From Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596007329/c4iorg This is the book for that gloomy afternoon. It is "The real story behind the high-rolling hucksters pushing PRON, PILL, and @*#?% Enlargements" (I wonder how many ISN readers will not see this review due to spam filtering). Fascinating read on the world of SPAM, both the purveyors of such, and the crusaders against it. We meet Davis Wolfgang Hawke (formerly known as Andrew Britt Greenbaum), and watch his rise from Jewish Nazi (now there's a dichotomy) to millionaire spammer. We learn of the fight by front line warriors, and their constant uphill battle to save us from the onslaught. This book is well-researched, and reads like the very best of detective fiction. Rush right out and buy a copy. Buy two, and give one to your Aunt Mabel as a gift. -=- Dr. Spook is a security researcher, currently employed in the defense industry, who prefers anonymity. The good doctor has associates in most TLAs, and in some security groups as well. When not absorbed with the latest debacles from a wide array of software and hardware vendors, Dr. Spook is amused by the interesting puzzles left in the works of such notables as Elias Ashmole and John Dee. _________________________________________ Bellua Cyber Security Asia 2005 - http://www.bellua.com/bcs2005
