New www.medsXX.net spam

Hello People,

It's a new spam we have been getting for a few hours. It's very short,
with random subject and body. The constant element is domain address
like "(www	 meds35	 net)" or "(www  meds88  net)".

Below are a few samples:

Have a nice day,

P.

Hi Phil,

It's funny, isn't? :)

Sorry, if it was hurting for your pure British English ;) Simply my
typing was faster than my thinking :D

Have a nice weekend!

It doesn't, either is fine. It's just that in British English they're
both pronounced as misspelt.   Misspelled is only an Americanism if
it's pronounced the way it's spelled.

In this country, at least, "misspelled" belongs in that list of misspelt words.

Oh, don't we all love American English?  *grin*

These are easy to trap.

I added a match rule for that type of munged web address to my rule that
lists pill shop names (pharmacy, apothecary,...) and used a meta to
combine that with another rule that lists deliberately misspelled words
that can occur in Subject or body.

Hi John,

I could see only lowercase URIs, but I rather prefer case-insensitive
rules. Simply I don't want to get a lot of spam, because the spammer
read that thread and changed only one letter :)

Yes, I can see the parentheses in all the spam messages I received. But
spammers can remove them soon, of course.

Yes, I noticed it when I was testing my own rule:

[1438] dbg: rules: ran body rule LOCAL_BODY_WWW_MEDSXX_NET ======> got
hit: "(www meds88 net)"

Note I said "body rules". I did test the sample message against that rule 
before posting it. Are you using that RE in a rawbody rule?

If you want to see for yourself, put a rule like this into your test 
framework:

    body     ALL_BODY /.+/
    tflags   ALL_BODY multiple

...and run a test message with lots of whitespace through it. You'll see 
exactly what body rules are trying to match against.

> (first www has a space AND a tab after it).

*that* I did not specifically test against, 'ang on...

...yep, the RE I posted matches on "(www [tab] meds88   net)" when used in 
a body rule.

Actually, I don't know where you get that idea from; as far as I can 
tell, the SA rules are matching the original message text, not text with 
runs of spaces collapsed; so that regex doesn't work for the vast 
majority of those medsXX spams for me.  I had to modify it to this:

/\(\s*w{2,4}\s+meds\d{1,4}\s+(?:net|com|org)\s*\)/m

Which matches something like '(www 	meds30 	org)'... whereas your 
suggested one doesn't (first www has a space AND a tab after it).

D'oh, /me checks pastebins from first message...

Also, body rules match cleaned-up text with runs of spaces collapsed, so
you don't need to use + or {1,...}

Try this:

   /\(\s?w{2,4}\smeds\d{1,4}\s(?:net|com|org)\s?\)/

That depends. If the URIs are always lowercasein the spams, making the
RE case-insensitive doesn't help and may hurt.

> BTW, probably \s+ will be better than \s{0,4}. Similarly with w{2,4} and

No, it's not. In SA, unbounded matches are hazardous and should be
avoided. {0,20} is safer than * and {1,20} is safer than +.

This is not a general rule, it only applies where the text being scanned
is from an untrusted (and possibly actively hostile) source.

Another improvement: add word boundaries at the beginning and end:

  /\bw{2,4}\s{0,10}meds\d{1,4}\s{0,10}(?:net|com|org)\b/

If the parentheses in the original example are actually in the message,
including them will help to. Are they actually in the message?

I've just noticed "missing" 'i' switch for your rule regexp. Is it a bug
or a feature? :)

BTW, probably \s+ will be better than \s{0,4}. Similarly with w{2,4} and
\d{1,4}.

Hello Dan,

My rule is similar to yours, but it's simpler. Probably it's good idea
to check .com and .org domains too, so I'll improve my rule. I've also
set higher score.

This is what I'm using to catch them.  It's caught 675 since yesterday afternoon.

body	AE_MEDS35		/w{2,4}\s{0,4}meds\d{1,4}\s{0,4}(?:net|com|org)/
describe AE_MEDS35		obfuscated domain seen in spam
score	AE_MEDS35		3.00

I might have to increase the size of the \s from 4....
