Administration Screen Shots

Administration Screen Shots Login The administration process starts with the login process. Authentication and authorization use a clear text process which should be protected by using an SSL enhanced web server (https protocol). The session key is embeded in a cookie with an configurable timeout (default 15 minutes) with no activity.
Password Administration SpamCannibal has a user friendly password adminstration front end. New administrative users can be added and removed by any other admin or optionally this feature can be disabled in the configuration file. Password updates are straightforward and use the familiar OLD, double NEW format.
Manually Adding a Spam Source Enter the IP address of the spam source and either paste in the spam record from and email (headers and salient portions of the message) or type in descriptive text that may be useful for the lookup client or to reference other records in the same netblock that are spam sources. A button is provided to add a single spam source or an entire CIDR/24 netblock. Typical message content is shown below in the example for the administrative E-mail interface
Manually Add BlackList Item The administration tools also provide a means to add entries that appear to be from a remote DNSBL. While this may not be frequently used, it does allow entry of a new or modified record to be made if needed. There are numerous fields, all of which are self explanatory and which are described in detail in the configuration file, sc_BlackList.conf
View a Database Each database used by SpamCannibal is viewable. The view screen displays 255 records per screen and can be scrolled by screen or by record number. The primary display comes up showning the number of records in each database. Clicking the database name produces the first page of the database showing the IP address entries for each record. Clicking the IP address switches to the Lookup IP screen for that particular record.
Administrative Lookup (data found) The administrative IP LOOKUP display provides information similar to the public web LOOKUP display. There are two added features, the addition of single host and CIDR/24 delete buttons and a display of other records in the same CIDR/24 block so the record(s) can be easily removed from the databases.
Administrative Lookup (NO data found) When a record is looked up in the SpamCannibal database but not found, the administrative Lookup IP display show an add to tarpit button which when clicked take you immediately to the Add Spam window.
Add Spam via E-mail Spam can be added to the SpamCannibal database by email from your desktop. Optionally, to protect the interface from malicious data entry, it can (and should) be encrypted using PGP. Follow these simple steps: Pop a new message window and address it to your SPAM mail client. Messages addressed to this client will be caught and processed by the sc_mailfilter.pl script. Expand the mail message to show the headers Copy and paste the headers and salient portions of the message into the new message window. Encrypt the message Click send. It's DONE!
