Dave the Resurrector

Dave the Resurrector

Dave the Resurrector was a so-called "resurrector bot" that responded to any attempts at canceling a message on the usenet newsgroup news.admin.net-abuse by re-posting the message.[1][2] It was written by Chris Lewis.[2]

The bot is notable as once of the very first escalations in the SPAM arms race.
