iXhash plugin and lists - feedback wanted

Hi all,

I'm the author of the iXhash plugin, a piece of code that computes a 
variety of 'fuzzy checksums' along the lines of the NiXSpam project (run 
by the German IT magazine iX).
I also run two DNS zones 
(nospam.login-solutions.de,nospam.login-solutions.ag), containing fuzzy 
checksum data from various spam traps.

Now, I'll leave my current job where I had the opportunity to run a 
dedicated server to maintain the lists.
I wonder if it it is worth my while to actually migrate to whole stuff 
(and expand it to contain data from other sources) or to just release a 
final version of the plugin and call it quits.

I guess this list is the best place to ask those of you who use the 
plugin for feedback. I'd appreciate any comments and information an hit 
rates, FPs and such

Thanks in advance

Dirk

Well, your appreciation was, er, appreciated nevertheless ;-)

Also, I would like to hit my head against my desk for about an hour.
Messed the sorting in Mutt and failed to notice the date on the
origiginal message.

Apologies to the list :)

I'm seeing very large FP rates from the CTYME server,

today:
Spam: 66
Ham: 121 of which
Messages with negative SA scores: 78

or Friday:
Spam: 386
Ham: 409 of which
Messages with negative SA scores: 167

Most of the 'ham' messages only trigger CTYME_IXHASH and whitelisting 
rules. Practically none of them trigger other message digest, DNS or URI 
checks.

The other servers have trivial FP rates, though.

That was too high, yes. My regex wasn't correct.
The FP rate is actually 1/15000.

The single FP I found was a "mailing list membership reminder" produced
by a mailman installation.

0.1% HAM hits seems unusually high.
would you please check what kind of hams these are?

are they newsletter/bulk or empty messages with attachements, other types?

Stats for the last 12 hours:

70% hitrate on spam.
0,1% hitrate on ham.

3000 emails in corpus.

To me, this is a very valuable service and I would be very sad to see it
go away.

Wow.  That doesn't seem right at all.  Your setup had the same amount of of
FPs in one day as mine has all of this year.  I've found this plugin to be
quite accurate and invaluable!

Dirk, Your plugin rocks!  I hope you can find a way to continue to maintain

Hi Dirk, I've been using it on my home system probably ever since you made it 
available. Below are hit stats from yesterday:

Total: 279
Ham:   122
Spam:  157

iXhash.cf:
  Rule Name                     Score     Ham   Spam   %of Ham   %of Spam
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  LOGINHASH                      4.50     30     62    24.59%     39.49%
  LOGINHASH2                     2.50     30     61    24.59%     38.85%
  IXHASH                         2.50     31     66    25.41%     42.04%
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  OVERALL                                 31     66    25.41%     42.04%

Though it does hit ham, I don't remember ever seeing any FP's because of it. 
I'd say expand it, though again, this is just running on a home system with 
one user, me. Also be aware that the above count is cumulative over period of 
time (that I'm not really sure of) and not daily.

Keep up the good work

Chris

Hi Dirk,
I've been using iXhash for sometime and find it to be accurate and invaluable. I've never had problems with FPs caused by it. So I 
for one really hope you'll be able to continue with it in one way or another, and adding extra data from other sources also sounds 
great to me!

MfG,
Jeremy

Hi,

Did you continue to keep your DNS server ? and your plug-in ?
Are you interested about other DNS server (free) ?
What about a public server farm ? (but need synchronization)

Youkajouan

Robert,

I'm afraid, no. My principal problem is getting enough spam/ham (less than say a week old) to do some serious mass checks.
I hope someone around here is in a better position to do so. I'd love some stats. There are enough tools out there for that purpose, I think.

Dirk

I just started running iXhash about a week ago on a 3.2.5 SA

I haven't really had enough time to eval the net effects all the way around.

Do you have any extra tools that would help the SA community to eval iXhash
in our environments other than what we already have available out there??

Yep, do a

dig noexistantdomain.nospam.login-solutions.de

and see if you get a response. You shouldn't but OpenDNS has a history for serving you one nevertheless.

Dirk, using the sa-addon's script for these stats I'm not sure how many days 
back the count above is from. For instance the stats were drawn last night 
from this count:

Ham:   132
Spam:  158

Yesterday my message count was as below:

Spam:        19
Ham:         13

So it's possible this could be over a 10 day period, I'm not really sure. 
However, when I get home from work today I will look and see what kind of ham 
is being hit by it. Up until a few days ago I was just using a locally cached 
nameserver, however I've switched to OpenDNS since last Sunday. I'll give my 
ISP's nameserver a try and see what happens.

Chris,

from my experience there must be something wrong with your setup. From the feedback I got thus far the plugin is quite accurate where FPs are concerned. Thus the relatively high scores I set in the default config.
I'd recommend having a look at your DNS setup - maybe your provider returns false results. Using OpenDNS e.g. has caused such high FP rates in the past.
Let me know if I can help.

Dirk

AW: iXhash plugin and lists - feedback wanted

Posted by "Starckjohann, Ove" <st...@norddeutsche.de>.
hi Dirk,

the plugin is really useful...the LOGINHASH-DNS-zone's gives even "better" results than the iXHASH...
