Recent hacks.
May 17th, 2006
Dear blog owners, I’ve got some new software you should try:
- Updated: The powerful TrackBack Validator plugin for WordPress has been revved to version 0.7. This plugin kills almost all existing TrackBack, dead. [I say “almost” because I (coincidentally) received word today of a spammer who sets up real blogs to try to spam people. I think of this as a victory for our plugin: It has forced spammers to, you know, behave like real bloggers. Who’s to say a TrackBack from this guy is spam and not a legitimate link to your blog?]
- New: Illuminati is a new Internet measurement project from the CoralCDN (“Coral cache”) guys. They’re gathering much-needed statistics (like these awesome graphs) about the edges of the Internet (that’s you!), including NAT and proxy statistics, and they need help from website operators everywhere. Visit the site to learn how to contribute, or (if you’re a WordPress blogger) install my Illuminati plugin for WordPress.
