Contact Me via E-MailMy e-mail Address
In order to send me an e-mail, you need my e-mail address.
Unfortunately, because of all these address-hungry spam bots in the
'net becoming more and more intelligent, I have to disguise the
address a bit... My e-mail address is: Name@Department.University
For programmers, it may be easier to quickly execute this simple program in their mind in order to get my e-mail address:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
const char *email="$\x1f\015\xb\xa\x4\x1c\024i\030=\xa;\x0\036,#\x18\030"
"\x1e\x4\016\\\06)\06y\02=\00\x2\017;\x15\017C\011\00r";
const char *key="SpammersGoToHell";
char dest[64];
int i=0;
while(dest[i]=email[i]^key[i%strlen(key)]) ++i;
printf("ma%so: %s\n","ilt",dest);
return(0);
}
Alternatively, some people may prefer perl over C for this purpose:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$_="PerlIsCrazy";
s/Perl(..)(.*)/pl$1\$2/,s-^-o-,s/I./!+/,chop;'m'.y/$_++."pl"!/m{ao}{tl}i/;my$b
=reverse;s/(.).(.).(.)./$3gf$2$1w/,s;^;.gn;;s-.-\-\-p\@r.iw,-,$_=reverse;s
xpxphysik.x;s=-=uni=;s;\.;ese;;y<,><.>;$_.=q.m$c$.,s"\$"en"g;s/m/mu/;s/c/ch/;
print"$b: $_.de";
Shell experts may find the following simple translate-and-replace instructions more convenient: echo `echo physik | tr khi@yps oatliml`: \ `echo -n xrlzca.cdxiyAyv | tr xcrAv.dzy wgosrn.fe | sed "s/w.*/&~&/" | \ tr "~" "\n" | sed "2y/gwlfanior/nzivdymsx/;2s/z/p@y/1;2s/v/k.u/;2s/d/i-/" | \ sed "2s/y/mqe/2;s/mes/en./;s/\.z/ch/;s/\.e/.d/" | tr "@qzx\n" "huhe@"`
Cryptographers may try the following challenge to obtain my
e-mail address: Encrypted e-mailYou are encouraged to send encrypted e-mail.
My (OpenPGP compliant) GnuPG public key.
The key fingerprint is:
72B5 B628 1A08 60B0 A65D 1C89 02A7 A479 4543 3160 Please do not sign my key with your one non-locally (you may do that locally using lsign in gpg's --edit-key, but do not use sign).
You may ask why all the above is necessary.
Well, because the PGP public keys, when base64 decoded, contain the address
in plain text.
(Just try out yourself using uudecode and hexdump -C.)
So, just wait a little and spam bots will be clever enough to extract e-mail
addresses from PGP keys. Think about it! PGP addresses are much easier to
scan than normal simple spam protection and the failure rate (scanning
something which actually is no e-mail address at all, or a no longer used
address) is much lower.
