Malicious Chrome Extension Performs Hidden Affiliate Hijacking
A Chrome extension claiming to hide Amazon ads was found secretly hijacking affiliate links, replacing creators’ tags with its own without user consent.
The Mail Queue Dispatcher is a simple Windows service that watches a mailqueue folder, looks up sender information, and transmits an email for each message it finds in the folder.
If there is a problem, the message will be moved to the configured badmail folder.
To get the program, just run go get github.com/jw4/mqd
To install: go install github.com/jw4/mqd/cmd/smtp-dispatcher
This will install the binary in your GOPATH, but to install the windows
service, I recommend copying the executable into its own folder and then
creating or generating the .smtp-dispatcher.settings file, and
modifying it to match your settings first. Then to install the service
run ./smtp-dispatcher.exe install, and ./smtp-dispatcher.exe start
to start monitoring the mailqueue folder and sending emails.
To generate the windows binary with the icon and resource info you can
use go generate github.com/jw4/mqd/cmd/smtp-dispatcher after
installing the fine tool by Joseph Spurrier:
go get github.com/josephspurrier/goversioninfo/cmd/goversioninfo
This should generate a .syso file which go build will use to
incorporate the resource info into the binary when you finish up with:
go build github.com/jw4/mqd/cmd/smtp-dispatcher
