Sugarplum is an automated spam-poisoner. Its purpose is to feed
realistic and enticing, but totally useless or hazardous data to
wandering address harvesters such as EmailSiphon, Cherry Picker,
etc. The idea is to so contaminate spammers' databases as to
require that they be discarded, or at least that all data
retrieved from your site (including actual email addresses) be
removed.
Sugarplum employs a combination of Apache's mod_rewrite URL
rewriting rules and perl code. It combines several anti-spambot
tactics, includling fictitious (but RFC822-compliant) email address
poisoning, injection with the addresses of known spammers (let them
all spam each other), deterministic output, and "teergrube"
spamtrap addressing.
Sugarplum tries to be very difficult to detect automatically,
leaving no signature characteristics in its output, and may be
grafted in at any point in a webserver's document tree, even
passing itself off as a static HTML file. It can optionally operate
deterministically, producing the same output on many requests of
the same URL, making it difficult to detect by comparison of
multiple HTTP requests.
Sugarplum is free software, distributed under terms of the GPL.
