Hi George,

I've been wondering about this myself - I think the main steps would be:

* mechanism to trawl URLs - e.g. crawl everything that you get in your spam
The main problem is how can i made a list of url to crawl?Most of the
spam url i have are sending to sites that do not have malware. I've
seen some spyware hided on porn websites and also a lot of spyware on
warez web site. But there is a public blacklist of sites that keeping
spyware? Can i find a way to find that kind of links automatically?

There was a talk on this topic at 22c3 in Berlin last December by
Krisztian Piller and Sebastian Wolfgarten.

They have/had the same problem you are raising, gaining a list of
urls to crawl. One of their idea was to set up a wiki with urls where
malware was found. But I have no idea how far they have come with
setting up a wiki like this.

They are also saying, that they have contacted Microsoft several times
asking if Microsoft would share their list of urls. But looks like the
HoneyMonkey project by Microsoft is not interested in sharing this list.
(If there is one)

Besides, the guys at stopbadware.org (Google & Co) would have their own
list of urls. Example:
http://www.google.com/interstitial?url=http://www.purecheats.com/index.php/top50sitesz

Are also they reluctant to share their findings?
