mail.nanog.org broken v6 reverse DNS
by Chris Adams 14 Sep '23

14 Sep '23

While wondering at high spam scores for NANOG mail, I noticed that it's in part because of broken reverse DNS for mail.nanog.org's IPv6 address. The address is 2001:1838:2001:8::20, with reverse delegated to ns1.scservers.com and ns2.scservers.com... but those hostnames don't resolve. The auth servers for scservers.com return SERVFAIL. -- Chris Adams <cma(a)cmadams.net>

Traffic being directed at random infrastructure with pornhub.com host header (?)

Has anyone else recently seen a spike of port 80 traffic being sent at seemingly random IP addresses that include the Pornhub host header? 0: 000C3170 A440000F 35F95000 08004500 ..1p$@..5yP...E<mailto:..1p$@..5yP...E>. 16: 004D0997 4000F006 F8D59DF5 7C90CFB6 .M..@.p.xU.u|.O6<mailto:.M..@.p.xU.u|.O6> 32: 9E010050 00500000 67D50000 000B5002 ...P.P..gU....P. 48: FFFF6559 00004745 54202F20 48545450 ..eY..GET / HTTP 64: 2F312E31 0D0A486F 73743A20 706F726E /1.1..Host: porn 80: 6875622E 636F6D0D 0A0D0A00 hub.com.....

Spam from ARIN to POC addresses
by packetcat 13 Sep '23

13 Sep '23

At 14:01 and 14.46 EST I received two identical emails from meetings(a)arin-events.net with the subject “Join us for ARIN 52 in October”. One was sent to the NOC POC address and one to the abuse POC address for my ASN. As far as I am aware, I never signed up for whatever that mailing list is and if I did I wouldn’t subscribe to it on those addresses. Furthermore, I am not seeing an unsubscribe button on either email. That makes both messages spam. Considering I’ve never received messages like those from ARIN on those addresses, I’ll give ARIN the benefit of the doubt and say someone accidentally imported the wrong list of emails into their MSP. I hope this is not the start of a new pattern of behaviour because that would not be…good to put it mildly. -- packetcat https://bastetrix.com

Root zone operational announcement: introducing ZONEMD for the root zone
by Wessels, Duane 12 Sep '23

12 Sep '23

I am pleased to announce that Message Digests for DNS Zones, also known as ZONEMD, will be added to the root zone later this year. This feature, specified in RFC 8976, adds cryptographic data protections to the zone as a whole, allowing the recipient to verify the authenticity of the zone’s contents. ZONEMD will be added to the root zone using a phased approach. On September 13, 2023, a ZONEMD record will make its first appearance in the root zone. At this time the Hash Algorithm field will be set to a private use algorithm number, making the ZONEMD record deliberately unverifiable. On December 6, 2023, the ZONEMD record will be published with the SHA-384 Hash Algorithm, thereby making it verifiable. We expect no operational impacts for end users. ZONEMD does not affect root zone queries and responses. The root server operators have agreed to not alter their zone ingestion processes for at least a year after ZONEMD is first introduced. Anyone that downloads the root zone file from www.internic.net or rs.internic.net should be aware that it will include the new ZONEMD resource record in its native presentation format starting on September 6th. Please feel free to follow up with any questions or concerns.

EDU zone operational announcement: DNSSEC algorithm rollover
by Wessels, Duane 12 Sep '23

12 Sep '23

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Verisign is pleased to announce that an algorithm 13 (ECDSA) DS record has been published for the EDU zone, and the algorithm 8 record has been removed. Over the next few days, the algorithm 8 DNSKEY records will be removed from the EDU zone, followed by the removal of algorithm 8 signatures. We continue to expect no operational impacts for end users, but please feel free to reach out to us with concerns or any observations of anomalous behavior related to this algorithm rollover.

If anyone else on NANOG has a contact there, I would appreciate some help getting in contact to resolve an issue that the regular support channel is unable to do. Thanks! Justin Krejci

Captive portal for suspended accounts
by Steve Saner 11 Sep '23

11 Sep '23

We are a combination fiber and fixed wireless ISP with around 20k subscribers. Management is wanting to develop something along the lines of a captive portal for suspended accounts such that those customers are forced to a portal that allows them to make payment and get reactivated. This is a common thing for a cafe wifi hotspot or something, but has anyone here attempted to do it at this kind of scale who would be willing to share their experiences? If someone has successfully done this, I would love to pick your brain a bit to understand how you accomplished it. Thanks much. -- *Steve Saner* | Senior Network Engineer ideatek INTERNET FREEDOM™ FOR ALL 316-640-8715 ext. 4005 | 111 Old Mill St., Buhler KS,67522 | <http://ideatek.com/>ideatek.com This email transmission and any documents, files or previous email messages attached to it may contain confidential information.
