A sample of some of the spam I recieve, formatted by me but otherwise untouched. Though Gmail kindly dumps all of this into a spam folder for me, once in a while prompted by sheer boredom, I go through some of my spam.
Looking at the sheer volumes of spam that's going around, it's pretty obvious that most of it is being generated automatically rather than being manually typed out as was the case with 'traditional' spam. What fascinates me is how they manage to generate the stuff. They are obvoiusly using some algorithm to generate the text so as to make it look like it is meaningful.
One such possible way of doing that, which I came across was using second order hidden markov models (and they were talking about it in the context of protein structure prediction). If this is the kind of shit being used, it makes me wonder why spammers don't get real jobs!
Anywho, my semester exams have started (I had my first one today). Statistics is over and done with (hence the hidden markov models) and now only about a dozen left before they let me go home. Til' then.
Ps. Confusion, do a google image search for "Falcon tubes" you'll see what the alleged 'condom' actually was, I'm feeling too lazy to put a picture up right now.
