本文总结和分析了通过一个5000多个成员的蜜罐系统收集的电子邮件收割机的活动数据，该系统根据访问者的IP地址和特定的蜘蛛时间发出唯一的地址。这个项目被称为蜜罐项目，它提供了收集和邮件处理的地理来源、不同类型垃圾邮件发送者的发送模式以及列表管理行为的数据。除了为试图阻止垃圾邮件收集的网站管理员提供指导外，该项目的数据还表明，反垃圾邮件收集法规提供了一种新的、可能成功的起诉垃圾邮件的途径，并为可能有助于这些努力的现行反垃圾邮件法律的潜在修订提供了信息。
This paper summarizes and analyses data compiled on the activities of email harvesters gathered through a 5,000+ member honey pot system that issues unique addresses based on a visitor’s IP address and specific spidering time. The project, known as Project Honey Pot, has provided data about the geographical source of harvesting and mail processing, the sending patterns of different types of spammers as well as list management behavior. In addition to providing guidance for website administrators trying to forestall harvesting, the Project data also suggest that anti-harvesting regulations offer a new, potentially successful prosecutorial avenues against spam as well as inform potential amendments to current anti-spam laws that may help those efforts.
