Nematocyst is an active countermeasure for the spamforo trojan. Spamforo makes the infected machines send piles of spam; nematocyst emulates an infected machine, but doesn't send any spam; the intent is to make the trojan network useless by loading it with fake slaveclients.

You should run it as a nonprivileged user; better yet, as a nonprivileged user inside a sandbox.

Nematocyst is written in perl and has been tested on Debian GNU/Linux. It requires wget to operate.

Nematocyst is copyright 2005 Deekoo L. and is free software released under the GPLv2.

What's New in This Release:
A typo in the URL generation code has been fixed.
Odd characters in the spam content are now escaped before display.
