This paper studies the network-level behavior of spammers, including: IP address ranges that send the most spam, common spamming modes (e.g., BGP route hijacking, bots), how persi...
The topological properties of a network directly impact the flow of information through a system. In evolving populations, the topology of inter-individual interactions affects th...
