    etc.

    If you're reading this via Google then you can trivially report the P
    as spam by clicking "Show ", then "Report Abuse" - it defaults
    to spam (Google gets some things right!)

    Definition of spam is: "Unwanted, unsolicited email"
    And this is not a spam this is software NEWS that can be wanted and

    Definition of spam is: "Unwanted, unsolicited email"

    From Wikipedia: "Spam (electronic), unsolicited or undesired bulk electronic
    messages, such as e-mail spam."

    And this is not a spam this is software NEWS that can be wanted and
    interesting for this NEWSgroup visitors

    Since it's nothing to do with IS C, it's unsolicited and undesired. A
    Google Groups search for "EXECryptor" yields 193 hits, which makes it far
    from a one-off advertisement. It's clearly an electronic message. So I
    think it's fair enough to label it spam.

    Nonsense. The term spam applies both to e-mail and to Usenet postings
    (and blog comments, and instant messaging, and so forth). In fact, I
    think the term was applied to Usenet before it was applied to e-mail;
    remember the green card lawyers? See the extremely active
    news.admin.net-abuse.usenet newsgroup.

    Your spammed advertisement is unwanted, uninteresting, and off-topic.
    If you hadn't tried to claim that it's not spam, I probably would have
    ignored it; instead, I've reported your abuse to Google.

    Yes. The green card lawyers (on Usenet) were the thing for which the term
    "spam" was coined. And I've got the T-shirt to prove it.

    I remember reading it that fateful day, and knowing that things had changed
    irreversibly.

    Funny. The term "spam" officially has nothing to do with commercial
    intent, only with repetitive content - whether a series of articles has
    a Breidbart index over a set (and ever decreasing) value.

    I wonder: what would be the Breidbart index of articles containing
    nothing of value, just "Not portable. Can't discuss it here. Blah,
    blah, blah."

    Just about every post in this newsgroup has that as its content - generally
    not phrased as well or as succinctly, but then again, we can't all be me,
    now can we?

    intent, only with repetitive content - whether a series of articles has
    a Breidbart index over a set (and ever decreasing) value.

    Agreed (though I don't see anything in this thread that implies
    otherwise). My working definition of e-mail spam is simply
    unsolicited bulk e-mail; the content is irrelevant. Usenet spam is
    generally defined in terms of its Breidbart index, which is also
    insensitive to content.

    I wonder: what would be the Breidbart index of articles containing
    nothing of value, just "Not portable. Can't discuss it here. Blah,
    blah, blah."

    Strictly speaking, it's probably not far from the Breidbart index of
    articles containing "If you want to post a followup via
    groups.google.com ", which is why I haven't raised the issue. But
    I would argue that each of the "If you want to post a followup"
    articles is relevant in its context and is directed as a specific
    response to a particular article. It's also very commonly followed by
    an actual discussion of whatever issue is being discussed. And thanks
    to Chris F.A. Johnson, I think they can now be replaced by a pointer
    to <>. (I would normally be hesitant
    to depend on a web link in a Usenet article, but anyone who needs the
    advice is obviously using a web browser anyway.)

    The "Blah, blah, blah" followups, since only one person posts them,
    are easily addressed by killfiles. In my opinion, they're merely
    obnoxious, not spam.

    As for me instead to fink I tried EXECryptor and foud it really good.

    Lots of things look good on the surface.

    Also I tried to find its cracks, keygens. Threre is nothing.

    Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. The question I would ask of
    independent expert cryptanalysts is this: "have the EXECryptor people
    approached you, offering to pay you a reasonable sum to perform an
    independent analysis of their product, and guaranteeing to make available
    to you any information that you consider necessary for conducting that
    analysis properly?" I suspect the answer is "no".

    So I think
    it can be included in the top range of aplication protection tools. So
    this 'spam' became useful for me :)

    More fool you, if you're willing to trust an un-analysed security product.

    I've deleted the name of the product to avoid giving it any more free
    advertising.

    Commercial spam (both e-mail and Usenet) can sometimes work because
    it's so cheap to send out huge numbers of messages that you can make a
    profit even if only a tiny fraction of the people who see it respond
    to it. That tiny fraction of responders are partly responsible for
    the existence of spam.

    By responding positively, you encourage the spammer to continue
    spamming, potentially damaging a forum where most of us just want to
    discuss the C programming language. Please don't do that.

    Just to add to Keith's words, and to make it clear that this is not an
    isolated event: the spammer in question has also posted his advertisement
    in at least one cryptography hobbyist Web forum, although he has never
    participated in any of the discussions on that forum. He's just a spammer
    (and his product has all the hallmarks of snake oil). Best ignored or
    reported.

    I wrote to EXECryptor team to ask them about independent detailed test
    of their product. Their product is based on the scheme that has been
    developed by them and as this is their intellectual property they don't
    give access to EXECryptor source code nor to encryption technology
    generally described on their site Code Morphing page

    I searched by Internet and found several good reviews. Furthermore
    there's many programming people discuss it on different forums and
    their feeds about EXECryptor are good.

    Also I read a few crackers disscussions about. I made conclusion that
    EXECryptor protection is real pain for them and they cannot brake it.

    More fool you, if you're willing to trust an un-analysed security product.

    At the moment I haven't yet bought EXECryptor I've just downloaded its
    trial and I will try and test it in practice.

    I've deleted the name of the product to avoid giving it any more free
    advertising.

    Are you stingy? :))

    These guys' tool is very far from wide public products like different
    sreensavers, games etc It has narrow sepcialization. So promoting it
    by common advertising channels will not bring their target audience.
    The example is me. If I EXECryptor top advertised on an shareware site
    even on download.com I would neve pay attention to it. Further I've ad
    blocker at my PC. And I looked for such a professional protection just
    in programmer's discussions and groups.

    This is a fairly standard response from snake oil merchants. Those who take
    security seriously are very willing to engage highly-experienced
    cryptanalysts to conduct an independent white-box security analysis of
    their product.

    I searched by Internet and found several good reviews.

    Yeah, and I searched by Internet and found this:

    "Snake alert![*]
    This spam is trying to sell pure snake oil!
    - too many obviously wrong assertions;
    - use of meaningless terminology (ex. "disassembled into nondeterminate
    transformations");
    - failure to use terminology that is commonly used by most of program
    obfuscation and IP protection research papers. That among other things
    shows that they are extremely clueless about state of modern research;
    - to much promises about secret proprietary algorithms (ex. their HardKey
    algorithm was never-ever mentioned on cryptology ePrint or CiteSeer, and
    the only thread on sci.crypt that was mentioned HardKey died immediately
    after the first question about algorithm description and/or security
    proof)"

    Furthermore
    there's many programming people discuss it on different forums and
    their feeds about EXECryptor are good.

    I saw an ad for it appear on a crypto forum, where it lasted a few minutes
    before it was deleted, presumably because the people who actually used the
    forum didn't want to have it cluttered up with spam.

    Tough cookies. It doesn't give them the right to abuse Usenet or discussion
    forums hosted by, in many cases, individuals who *pay* for their bandwidth.

    But:

    It's not news about C.

    3. Advertising in google groops is spam.

    This isn't Google Groups. This is Usenet. You're making roughly the same
    mistake as people who use Internet Explorer and think that it *is* the

    Usenet spam is generally defined as a posting whose Breidbart Index
    exceeds some specified value. I actually don't know whether the
    advertisement that started this thread qualifies as spam in that
    sense. It does appear to have been sent to at least 8 different
    newsgroups.

    It may or may not be spam. It is certainly off-topic garbage.

    But:
    1. This is not Vra or p**is enlargement advert. :)) This is enough
    relevant subjet.

    No.

    2. The message text "smells" like rather a software news than an
    advetising.

    This newsgroup discusses the C programming language. It is not a
    forum for software announcements that have nothing to do with the
    language.

    3. Advertising in google groops is spam. This is rule. But all rule is
    prooved by exception. :-) And as for me, I'd consider this post as the
    'exception" :)

    First, this is not groups.google.com. This is Usenet, to which
    groups.google.com provides an interface.

    Second, exceptions don't prove rules; they disprove them. A Google
    search for "the exception proves the rule" will give you numerous
    explanations of the misconception.

    Finally, this post was not even vaguely topical for this newsgroup.
    The fact that it was an advertisement, posted by someone who has never
    posted anything here other than off-topic advertisements, makes it
    particularly offensive.

    That's true. However, as is said on comp.lang.c++ about job postings,
    the people doing this advertising were either clueless about what's
    topical or just didn't care. Neither is a particularly good trait for
    developers of critical products to display.

    Perhaps, but that's really not the point. I don't *care* whether this
    product is good, bad, or indifferent. If the people selling it
    advertise it by spamming Usenet, I won't use it.

    If you want to discuss the quality of the product, please find a

    As for me instead to fink I tried EXECryptor and foud it really good.

    Lots of things look good on the surface.

    Also I tried to find its cracks, keygens. Threre is nothing.

    Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. The question I would ask of
    independent expert cryptanalysts is this: "have the EXECryptor people
    approached you, offering to pay you a reasonable sum to perform an
    independent analysis of their product, and guaranteeing to make available
    to you any information that you consider necessary for conducting that
    analysis properly?" I suspect the answer is "no".

    So I think
    it can be included in the top range of aplication protection tools. So
    this 'spam' became useful for me :)

    More fool you, if you're willing to trust an un-analysed security product.

    I think this info source had analysed this product before write the
    article about :)

    You can no trust to EXECryptor team but as for me I trust to Software
    Developer Magazine

    (names deleted.)

    We don't care. You've been told repeatedly that this is off-topic.
    Stop talking about it here. (Richard probably shouldn't have indulged
    you by talking about the software rather than just telling you to go
    away.)

    Sure. Why not get Winnie the Pooh to review it too?

    Where security matters, it makes sense to pick security experts. The regular
    authors of magazine articles tend to be generalists who don't have time to
    become experts in the fields they're writing about. (That doesn't mean you
    don't get the occasional expert contributing to magazines, obviously.)

    I would attribute little weight to such an article if it were /my/ code on
    the line.

    There are exceptions, but SDM isn't one of them. Now, if it
    were looked at seriously in DDJ, I might pay attention. That is
    an example of a magazine where the authors are typically very
    well qualified. It may be one of the last remaining examples of
    that particular trait in existence.
