Subtle Rantings

Found out about this interesting little tool the other day. It’s called Spam Mimic and basically it encrypts your text to make it appear as spam. Here’s the description of the service from the web site:

There are terrific tools (like PGP and GPG) for encrypting your mail. If somebody along the way looks at the mail they can’t understand it. But they do know you are sending encrypted mail to your pal.

The answer: encode your message into something innocent looking.

Your messages will be safe and nobody will know they’re encrypted!

There is tons of spam flying around the Internet. Most people can’t delete it fast enough. It’s virtually invisible. This site gives you access to a program that will encrypt a short message into spam. Basically, the sentences it outputs vary depending on the message you are encoding. Real spam is so stupidly written it’s sometimes hard to tell the machine written spam from the genuine article.

I don’t know how useful this would be since I’m guessing most spam filters would catch this and delete it, but nonetheless, neat idea.
