- Description
- This paper replicates and extends Observed Trends in Spam Construction Tech-niques: A Case Study of Spam Evolution. A corpus of 169,274 spam email was col-lected over a period of five years. Each spam email was tested for construction techniques using SpamAssassin’s spamicity tests. The results of these tests were col-lected in a database. Formal definitions of Pu and Webb’s co-existence, extinction and complex trends were developed and applied to the results within the database. A comparison of the Spam Evolution Study and this paper’s results took place to de-termine the relevance of the trends. A geolocation analysis was conducted on the corpus, as an extension, to determine the major geographic sources of the corpus.
