Full Version: Another parser challenge, but easier - hex IPs

I've sent this to deputies[at] but thought it's worth reporting here too.

SpamCop's not dealing with hex-obfuscated URIs (found in the current IRS phishing) as well as might be expected, e.g.:

Tracking link: http://0x7C.0xA.0x7F.0xA4/Internal.Revenue...refund-form.php
No recent reports, no history available
Cannot resolve http://0x7C.0xA.0x7F.0xA4/Internal.Revenue...refund-form.php

It's attempting to resolve something that is clearly not a domain name, because the TLD begins with a digit.

Really a report should go to the reporting address for 124.10.127.164, i.e. spam[at]anet.net.tw

Note that 2081062820 and 0x7C0A7FA4 (different ways of parsing the same IP address) are parsed correctly.

No Tracking URL provided, so all that can be said 'here' is that hte data you present is out of context. The most glaring question would be what the headers and/or MIME-Boundary definition lines define this embedded stuff to be.
