... from about 13-14 years ago. Most of the site is probably lost in the hell of technology. Don't expect too much, if anything at all.

But perhaps a closer look at some spammers, botnetters, DDOS-ers etc could be interesting.
We have had a quick look at a couple of them. Maybe we'll jolt some stuff down some day.

For various reasons, here is a reconstruction of one of the postings from the old days, at that time the link was http://www.spam-court.com/?q=node/39. Now up here: https://spam-court.com/39.php

We wondered a bit about Skynet when we followed bulkerforum.biz from around 2006 until the shutdown caused by attacks attacks in 2007. But this was one of the many things we never got around to have a ral close look at. Today we had a hit in the log from 88.201.206.0, which turns out ot be Skynet.

St.Petersburg was btw. reckoned as the "capitol" or hub for a somehat loose organisation called "The Russian Business Network" (RBN) back then. See wikipedia.org for more if interested.

And one may wonder why spam-court.com is interesting for Skynet or a user of Skynet today. We know that Ctypto, one of the admins/moderators of the forum, used Skynets botmailer back then, a kind of reseller. And that the user "oldawg1" on bulkerforum was interested in the botmailer, probably for some kind of porn.
Bots are also nice to have if you want to perform an attack on a website. But we still wonder about the fresh hit in the logs of todays ruins of spam-court.com...

We also had a quick look at a few of the other guys from on the forum back then.
Some signs of similar activity. Others have what on the surface looks like "respectable" jobs today.
What do they think about their criminal activity back then?
