Spam Assignment Description

Assignment 3 - Manually send a spam email
Use telnet to manually send a spam (faked) email to a special-created gmail account: "cis3360@labs.cs.ucf.edu". From this experiment, you will understand why there are so many sources of untrusted email as well as how simple it is for attachers to generate and send spam or phishing emails to unsuspecting users.

Please follow the powerpoint supplement to send this faked email. In order to make the assignment email arrive to Gmail properly, you must follow these specifications:

1. The sender email address must be "fake@", you can use any domain name in the sender email address EXCEPT domains belonging to UCF (i.e., do not use cs.ucf.edu, eecs.ucf.edu, knights.ucf.edu, or longwood.eecs.ucf.edu).
2. The email must have a subject line as "CIS3360: firstname lastname". Put your name in the subject line so we know who to give credit to for the assignment.
3. The email must have a "from" and a "to" field. These two fields are displayed when you read an email. You can put whatever text you want in these fields.
4. Put at least two lines of text in the email message.

Note: You can type in 'use rcpt to:' to include your own email address for verification in the second "rcpt to". EECS email servers support relay on campus, so you can use this server to send email to any email address when you on the campus network. This can be accomplished after setting up your campus VPN or if you telnet from EECS eustis.eecs.ucf.edu machine.

If you have never logged into eustis.eecs.ucf.edu before, then your username is your NID and the default password is: the first initial of your lastname in uppercase and the last 5 digits of your PID. Please send an email to help@eecs.ucf.edu if you have any issues logging into this server. If you have accessed this server in the past, then please use your old password.

Submission:

• Send the spam email and submit a brief report in Word showing your use of telnet in this assignment before the deadline listed above. You MUST add screenshot images in your report showing the steps when you create this spam message. Simple text showing the interaction is not sufficient.

As always, grades will be available in Webcourses2@UCF.
