I logged into my blog today and found the usual players in the blog spam market, filling up my Akismet quarentine area. For the past couple of days now, it seems like the same guys have been hanging out on my blog. If they really wanted to make some money, they should post legitamate comments with one website link, or just contact me directly and make some money doing different things … but that’s another story.

So anyway, I’ve gotten so sick and tired of these same folks posting on my blog that I decided to investigate. Low and behold, it appeared that the spammers are no longer cracking into unix/linux machines much, but are instead brute-forcing their ways into Windows machines. Why someone would want to run a Windows box as a dedicated server is beyond me.

I decided to investigate the Windows Server brute-forcing methedology for myself. And thankfully one of the first hits I got was this helpful video about tsgrinder, tscrack, and rdesktop. In the video they don’t show where to get the first two programs, roboclient or probets. You can find more information and the downloads on the Hammer of God website (downloads).

Well hope things work out for the best. ;-P
