Two examples of a recent spate of spams that have hit the mailbox. Was away at LinuxAsia 2004 and came to find over 1200 mails tagged as 'SPAM'. Now that was some bandwidth being wasted.

Subject: Ethical Hacking - a security health-check for your website
Date: Saturday, February 28, 2004 7:10 sandhya
Dear Sir/Madam,
We often get personal health-checks done, but tend to ignore testing the
security health of our critical web sites. The number and sophistication of
Internet attacks has increased so tremendously that no one is safe today.
Hackers from all over the world are simply scanning a wide range of IP
addresses looking for common vulnerabilities. Your website's IP address
could be the next one.
Also, a firewall or an IDS will fail to protect you from the high-end web
application attacks. For your website to run effectively, you must keep TCP
ports 80 and 443 open. Hackers will use advanced techniques such as SQL
Injection, Cross-site Scripting, Information Disclosure, Directory
Traversal, Web Server Vulnerabilites, CGI Vulnerabilities and others to
compromise your server through these very ports.
Ethical Hacking provides you with the hacker's perspective of your website's
security. At the same time, this service does not entail any damage,
disruption or loss of information of your website.
Coming to NII provides you with the highly technical skills that have been
used by the following clients to get their sites ethically hacked by our
team:
1. State Bank of India
2. Reserve Bank of India
3. India's largest matrimonial portal
4. India's leading gift portal
5. City of West Covina, California
6. Playwin Lottery Systems
7. Uniotel, South America's largest telecom company
Our team has also trained people from the following organizations on the
Tools and Techniques for Ethical Hacking:
1. Kotak Securities
2. IDEA Cellular
3. Patni Computer Systems
4. Valiant Technologies
5. Global E-secure
6. HSBC
7. E-serve International (A Citigroup company)
8. Mindcraft Software
