Hi List,
Am running a pen-test these days against mail servers that have a server
side virus scanner as well as a mail content filtering product for
inforcing the organization's mail usage policy.
I ran couple of tests including :
1.Sending viruses and worms.
2.Sending anti virus testing files from the eicar project
http://www.eicar.org/.
3.Sending renamed virus files to files with an allowed type of files
extensions.
4.Sending an archived zip files *a zip file that has been zipped for
over 4000 times* some anti viruses hang while trying to unzip this file.
5.Sending a genuine exe file renamed to an allowed type of files
extension.
6.Sending mails with wordings like *Middlesex* A University in UK.
7.Mail bombing test.
I would like to know if you have any other ideas to test server side
virus scanners and content filtering products. Also i would like to know
what is the best way to prevent mail spamming and bombing.
Thanks.
