Lab assignment 2: Manually send a spam email
(Assigned on
Sept. 8th, Due Sept. 15th midnight)
In this simple assignment, you will need to use telnet to manually send a spam (faked) email to Dr. Cliff Zou at czou@eecs.ucf.edu. From this experiment, you will understand why there are so many untrusted email around and how easy for attackers to send out spam or phishing email.
Please follow the in-class illustration to send this faked email. In order to make these assignment email not be treated as the other spam email, you must follow the following specifications:
1. The sender email must be "fake@", you can use any domain name in the sender email address (but do not use cs.ucf.edu, longwood.cs.ucf.edu, or eecs.ucf.edu).
2. The email must have a subject line as "CNT4704: firstname lastname". Put your name in the subject line so that you can be credited.
3. Put in some words in the content. Must be at least two lines.
You can type in two "rcpt to:" to include your own real email
address for
verification to check whether your email has sent out successfully or
not.
What to Submit:
1. You need to send this spam email to me by Sept. 15th
midnight.
2. You
need to submit an assignment report via webCourse. In this
report, you MUST include the image of screen copy of your
command shell window. The screen copy should clear show what you typed
and what
the
server responded.
In some case I may not be able to receive your spam email, but
I will still give you full credit if your report shows that you have
used telnet correctly in manual email sending.
