Hacks and Gadgets by HJL

I’ve been getting comment and trackback spam lately which links to nonexistent domains named with apparently random alphanumeric strings. Here are a few examples:

• zbnmktun.com
• youxrkab.com
• nalvynnj.com
• mmpuyrmg.com
• f4hurycdhn.com
• 6gvboi8prk.com
• puhkruw526.com

I’m not sure what the objective is, since the domains don’t appear to be registered. Perhaps the idea is to run a spam campaign and see what sticks? Or trying to throw off text statistics used by anti-spam filters?
