Boostada ayaa kuu sheegi doonta waxa ay yihiin Spambots iyo sida aad ula macaamili karto. Sadar , Spambots ayaa mas'uul ka ah dhammaan wixii qashinka ah ee ku jira boostadaada! Akhri si aad u ogaato waxa ay yihiin, sida ay u shaqeeyaan iyo sida loo joojiyo spambots.

Waxaan xusuustaa in aan curyaamiyay mid ka mid ah aqoonsiga^(IDs) iimaylka sababtoo ah ma helin wax aan ahayn boostada aan la codsan. Taasi waxay ahayd bil ka hor. Weligaa ma la yaabtay sida dadkaas ay u helaan aqoonsigaaga iimaylka si ay kuugu soo diraan iimaylo spam ah? Spam guud ahaan waa iimaylo aan la rabin ama aan la damanad lahayn. Aynu aragno sida spambots-ku u ururiyaan aqoonsiga^(IDs) iimaylka .

Waa maxay Spambots

Spambots waa barnaamijyo gaar ah oo u gurguurta internetka^(Internet) ciwaannada iimaylka ee lagu dhejiyay shabakadaha xidhiidhka bulshada, guddiyada doodaha, faallooyinka, boggaga nala soo xidhiidh iyo meelo kale. Maadaama qaabka aqoonsiga iimaylka uu yahay mid gaar ah, way fududahay in la qoro barnaamijyo lagu ururinayo wax kasta oo qaabkaas ah.

Waxay ka bilaabatay spambots raadinta " mailto " ( tibaaxaha HTML ee loo isticmaalo soo bandhigida aqoonsiga^(IDs) iimaylka ee shabakada). Hal tusaale waxa uu noqon karaa <a href=”mailto: [email protected]”>contact us</a> .

Tusaalahan, xogta soo socota " mailto :" waa aqoonsiga iimaylka. Tani waxay u eegi doontaa Nala soo xidhiidh^{(Contact Us)} daawadayaasha oo marka la riixo, waxay furtaa iimaylkaaga macmiilka caadiga ah oo wata ciwaanka iimaylka ee ku jira  sanduuqa^(To) .

Iyadoo dad badani wali isticmaalaan summada "mailto", qaar kale waxay bilaabeen inay adeegsadaan kelmado halkii ay ka isticmaali lahaayeen calaamado si aanay spambotyadu u fahmin. Tusaale ahaan, abc at xyz dot com . Laakiin haddii spambots-ka loo habayn karo si ay u soo ururiyaan dhammaan xogta qaab [email protected] , markaa waxa kale oo loo habayn karaa si loo hubiyo qaabab ay ka mid yihiin " abc at xyz dot com " ama " abc[at]xyz[dot]com " .

Si kale haddii loo dhigo, spambots-ku waa barnaamijyo ku xisaabtama dhammaan noocyada qaababka loo isticmaali karo in lagu muujiyo cinwaannada emailka ee internetka^(Internet) oo lagu kaydiyo ujeedooyinka spamming.

Foomka ugu badbaadsan waa in la isticmaalo garaaf ka kooban ciwaanka iimaylkaaga. Maadaama ay tahay garaaf, spambots-yadu ma akhriyi karaan. Tusaale ahaan, waxaad si fudud ugu qortaa ciwaanka iimaylkaaga MS Paint ama Adobe Photoshop oo isticmaal garaafkaas boggaga Contact Us . Si kastaba ha ahaatee, golayaasha iyo doodaha faallooyinka had iyo jeer ma bixiyaan isticmaalka garaafyada ee saxiixa sidaas darteed qaar badan ma isticmaali karaan isticmaalka tilmaantan.

Spambots waxa lagu qeexi karaa inay yihiin “barnaamijyada otomaatiga ah ee ku shaqeeya internetka^(Internet) si ay u ururiyaan ciwaannada iimaylka qof ama hay’ad isticmaali karta ciwaannada iimaylka ee la ururiyey si ay ugu soo diraan iimaylka aan la codsan (spam).

Sida loola macaamilo Spambots

Ma jiraan habab badan oo lagula tacaalayo spambots. Qiyaasta ugu fiican ee ka dhanka ah spambots-ka waa inaadan ku dhejin cinwaankaaga iimaylka meel kasta oo internetka^(Internet) ah . Laakiin taasi waa wax aan macquul aheyn maalmahan, ilaa aadan rabin in qofna kula soo xiriiro. Meel ama meel kale, waa inaad bixisa iimaylkaga - gaar ahaan maalmahan wadaagga bulshada!

Mid ka mid ah tallaabooyinka ka dhanka ah spambots waa in la isticmaalo sawirada^{(use graphics)} sida kor lagu sharaxay. Haddii ay tahay garaaf, spambot gurguurta ayaa ka tagaya, iyaga oo u maleynaya inaysan muhiim ahayn. Laakiin mar labaad, isticmaalka garaafyada ee mareegaha u gaar ah waa sahlan tahay laakiin looxyada wada xaajoodka / qolalka sheekeysiga, golayaasha doodaha, foomamka faallooyinka iwm. kuma ogolaanayaan inaad dhejiso garaafyada. Habka garaafyada ayaa ku guuldareysta xaaladahan oo kale.

Qaab kale ayaa ah in la xado ciwaanka iimaylka^{(garble email address)} oo si sax ah loo dhiibo kaliya marka bogga mareegaha la soo bandhigo. Tusaale ahaan, abc[break][at][break]xyz[break][dot][break]com waxa loo kaydiyaa qaybo kala duwan. Kaliya marka qof soo booqdo website-ka isagoo isticmaalaya oo sii maraya captcha, ciwaanka emailka ayaa loo habeeyey si isku xigta oo la soo bandhigay.

Hal hab oo kale oo aan weli jabin waa isticmaalka jilayaasha ASCII^{(usage of ASCII characters)} halkii @ iyo calaamadaha dhibcooyinka. Tusaale ahaan, [email protected] waxa loo matali doonaa sida [email protected]. Tusaalaha, @ waxay u taagan tahay calaamadda @. Laakiin tani sidoo kale waa sahlan tahay in la jebiyo marka spambots-ka loo qorsheeyo inay aqbalaan @ calaamad ahaan. Intaa waxaa dheer, booqdayaasha bini'aadamka sidoo kale waxaa laga yaabaa inay jahawareersan yihiin oo laga yaabo inay u helaan sidii cinwaankaaga iimaylka.

Markaad ku dhejinayso cinwaannada iimaylka golayaasha iyo faallooyinka, qofku wuxuu isticmaali karaa munging^{(use munging)} . Habka ayaa ah in la geliyo qaar ka mid ah jilayaasha ciwaanka emailka oo ay dadka soo booqda ee aadanaha fahmi karaan laakiin ma aha spambots. Hal tusaale waxa uu noqon karaa abc[ Ka saar^(Remove) tanKahorSending]@xyz .com . Tusaale kale wuxuu noqon karaa "abc[at]xyz### .com ( Ka saar^(Remove) # aqoonsiga iimaylka ka hor intaadan dirin)". Soo-booqdayaashu waxay fahmi doonaan in qaybta meesha laga saarayo halka spambots-yadu ay qaadan doonaan dhammaan shayga aan wax faa'iido ah u yeelan doonin goosashada maaddaama iimayllada loo diro aqoonsiga oo dhan ay soo boodayaan. Laakiin tani sidoo kale, waa xoogaa khatar ah, maadaama dadka ku cusub goobta kombayutarka laga yaabo inay jahawareeraan oo aanay kula soo xidhiidhi karin.

Mid ka mid ah hababka aan isticmaalay waa in aan u isticmaalo aqoonsiga iimaylka gaarka ah ee wax ku bixinta internetka^{(use a separate email ID for giving away on the Internet)} ee dadweynaha iyo kuwa gaar ah guriga iyo shaqada. Kadib, waxaad ku socodsiin kartaa filtarrada aqoonsiga iimaylka dadweynaha si aad farriimaha uga hesho mareegaha iyo golayaasha qaarkood. Tani waxay qaadataa shaqo yar (abuurista sharciga iyo cusbooneysiinta mar kasta oo aad ka bixiso degel) laakiin si fiican ayey u shaqeysaa. Xeerku waxa uu noqon karaa sida: “ U^(Move) rar boostada soo socota Junk marka laga reebo haddii soo diruhu yahay;;”. Habkaas, kaliya boostada dhabta ah ayaa soo gaari doonta sanduuqaaga halka kuwa kalena ay gelayaan galka Junk . Waxa laga yaabaa inaad si joogto ah u hubiso galka Junk si aad u aragto in xeerka ama macmiilka boostada u gudbiyay iimaylo muhiim ah galka Junk . Haddii ay dhacday, waxaad ku dari kartaa soo-diraha la aaminsan yahay ama aad wax ka beddeli kartaa sharciga la xiriira.

Waxaan rajeynayaa inaad faa'iido u leedahay talooyinka haddii aad taqaano habab badan oo looga hortago Spambots inay soo qaadaan aqoonsiga emailkaaga, fadlan nala wadaag.^{(I hope you find the tips useful If you know more methods to prevent Spambots from picking up your email ID, please share with us.)}

What are Spambots? How to deal with them?

Thiѕ post will tell yоu what are Spambots аnd how уou can deal with them. In a line, Spambots are responsible for all that junk in your mail! Read on to find out what they are, how they work and how to stop spambots.

I remember disabling one of my email IDs just because it was not receiving anything but unsolicited mail. That was a month ago. Ever wondered how those people get your email ID to send you spam emails? Spam is generally, unwanted and unwarranted email(s). Let us see how spambots collect email IDs.

What are Spambots

Spambots are special programs that crawl the Internet for email addresses posted in social networking sites, discussion boards, comments, contact-us pages and elsewhere. Since the format of the email ID is unique, it is easier to write programs to collect anything in that format.

It started from spambots looking for “mailto” (HTML expressions that are used for presenting email IDs on the web). One example could be <a href=”mailto: [email protected]”>contact us</a>.

In this example, the data following “mailto:” is the email ID. This would look Contact Us to the viewers and when clicked, opens your default email client with the email address in the To box.

While many people still use the “mailto” tag, others resorted to using words instead of symbols so that spambots do not understand them. For example, abc at xyz dot com. But if spambots can be programmed to harvest all data in the form of [email protected], then they can also be programmed to check for formats such as “abc at xyz dot com” or “abc[at]xyz[dot]com“.

In other words, spambots are programs that take into account all types of formats that can be used to display email addresses on the Internet and store it for spamming purposes.

The safest form is to use a graphic that contains your email address. Since it is a graphic, the spambots cannot read it. For example, you simply type your email address on MS Paint or Adobe Photoshop and use that graphic on your Contact Us page. However, forums and comment discussions do not always provide graphic usage in the signature so not many can make use of this tip.

Spambots can be this defined as “automated programs that run (crawl) on the Internet to collect email addresses for a person or organization who can use the collected email addresses to send unsolicited (spam) email”.

How To Deal With Spambots

There are not many methods to deal with spambots. The best measure against spambots is not to post your email address anywhere on the Internet. But that is practically impossible these days, unless you do not want to be contacted by anyone. Somewhere or the other, you have to give out your email address – especially in these days of social sharing!

One of the measures against spambots is to use graphics as explained above. If it is a graphic, the spambot crawlers leave it, assuming it is not important. But again, using graphics on own websites is easy but public discussion boards/chat rooms, discussion forums, comment forms etc. do not allow you to post graphics. The graphic method fails in such cases.

Another method is to garble email address and render it properly only when the webpage is displayed. For example, the abc[break][at][break]xyz[break][dot][break]com is stored as different parts. Only when someone visits the website using and passing the captcha, the email address is arranged in a sequence and displayed.

One more method that is not yet broken is usage of ASCII characters instead of @ and dot symbols. For example, [email protected] will be represented as [email protected]. In the example, @ represents the @ sign. But this too is easy to crack once spambots are programmed to accept @ as @ sign. Plus, human visitors too may get confused and may not find it as your email address.

While posting email addresses in forums and comments, one can use munging. The method is to insert some characters in the email address that the human visitors can understand but not the spambots. One example could be abc[RemoveThisBeforeSending]@xyz.com. Another example could be “abc[at]xyz###.com (Remove # from the email ID before sending)”. The visitors will understand that the portion has to be removed while spambots will take the entire thing which won’t be of any use to harvester as emails sent to the whole ID will bounce. But this too, is a bit risky, as newbies to the computer field may get confused and may not be able to contact you.

One of the methods I have used is to use a separate email ID for giving away on the Internet in public and separate ones for home and work. Then, you can run filters on the public email ID to receive messages only from certain websites and forums. This takes a little work (creating the rule and updating it every time you give it out on a website) but works fine. The rule can be like: “Move incoming mail to Junk except if the sender is <website1>;<website2>;<forum1>”. That way, only genuine mail will reach your inbox while others go to the Junk folder. You may check the Junk folder frequently to see if the rule or the mail client transferred any important email to the Junk folder. If it did, you can add it to trusted senders or modify the related rule.
