very good report! I am so sick and tired of hearing about this garbage scam and seeing everyone using it. Even on sites like freelanceer, scriptlance so many scammers pushing it on there and they get away with it!

It is absolutely ridiculous we run many phpbb forums and they attempt to hit us so much but there is a simple fix for your phpbb forum just add an extra captcha an always changing question for guests or new registers! just always keep changing or adding new questions if needed. make them pretty easy questions. the stupid bots can never know what your question will be. when you ask math questions be sure to change numbers up with number form , and written form. get creative with your question captchas. then the image captcha you can modify it to beat it as well.

I realize that backlink software is mentioned. I just received an email pertaining to BacklinkBrigand com; This is new computer software with seemingly excellent attributes: It posts to more than twenty-three distinct platforms and it’s possible to teach new targets on top of that. Could anyone express his own review of this application? Many thanks

Askland – Great post. I was looking for some xrumer and ran into your article. Great info!

But I have a quick question. What if a competitor wants to use this against me. Would that cause damage to my site?

LOL at the Computer Misuse Act – how is it illegal to use a software for an automatic blog posting, forum posting, blog creating and article marketig? So, if I manually copy and paste the following comment on 100 blogs (or forums): “it is a very nice blog I will come back to read more” will I be send to jail as well? How is that illegal?

Apparently Xrumer can also bypass captcha’s, so until the forum developers figure a way to release a proper anti-spam feature to combat these spamming programs, this problem will still exist in years to come.

and ensure they have common Russian email addresses blocked
I’m Russian admin of some forums. And in my practice most of xrumer’s spam-users come with gmail addresses rather than Russian free mailboxes.
And as I know it’s typical for spammers to use gmail. And latest xrumer’s version is able to pass automatically through gmail and hotmail captcha, so there will be zillions of gmail and hotmail new spam accounts.

If you read the article again, you’ll notice what I called a “scam” was their original marketing ploy to get links to their site. This from the article:

Their first auto-submitted post does not contain a link, it simply says something along the lines of: “I am looking for Xrumer auto-submit software, does anyone know where I can find the official website?”

Xrumer may be a spamming tool, but it’s not a scam. There is nothing illegal about it.
