Yesterday, while looking at the log file of this blog, I ask myself, where do the people who spam my blog come from ?
I made a little perl script that looks at the junk comments folder of Movable Type, finds the location of the spammer with
Geo::IP, and displays it on a google map with
HTML::GoogleMaps.
Here is the map of the
comment spam.
In fact this is not very useful because the spam is sent from PCs infected by the virus that spammers make. However, I can note that the city of Kiev in Ukraine is my bigger spammers location with the South Korea.
I also generate the map for the
trackback spam (214KB)
And maybe more useful, the map of my
non spam comments.
Here is the
script.
Maybe I should rewrite it as a MT plugin.
