RE: Korean server security?

Looks like someone actually hacked their main server, and not the one that was the target. Anyone that signed up for the contest got an email something like the following: >Regards, > > > We should all respect the fact that Korea Digital Works is very brave for releasing >their products to the public like this, and openly inviting all hackers, to find any possible exploits. > One has to keep in mind that no matter how many preventions you take, there will always >potentially be a way to hack the system.

Theres more, but didn't want to pollute the list with to much off topic ASC. -Joe

BGP route update propagation questions
by David G. Andersen 17 Apr '02

17 Apr '02

I'm trying to get a better feel for the dynamics of some "maybe-necessary" BGP routing traffic, and had a few questions: Under what circumstances will BGP send an update (of any sort) to a peer when there is an internal failure that does _not_ result in the complete isolation of a prefix? For example: __ AS1-rtr1 ---*-- AS2-rtr1 --\ / | -- AS3 10/8 -X- AS1-rtr2 ---*-- AS2-rtr2 --/ ^ |--link goes down at X In this case, AS1 is announcing 10/8 to its peer, AS2. An internal link within AS1 goes down. Are there any circumstances under which AS2 will announce some kind of change to AS3? My thoughts: * AS1 might announce a MED change to AS2, and AS2 might propagate that to AS3 in some unknown way (manually?) * AS2 would see the path to AS1 change, and would change its announced MED accordingly * For some reason, AS1 might announce a withdraw on 10/8, and then re-announce it. Is this possible, and under what circumstances would this happen? * Other things? I feel like the answers might depend on networks using ibgp with route reflectors vs. full mesh, or using a different interior routing protocol. In a related situation, let's say AS1 did a 'clear ip bgp' on AS1-rtr2, which was the preferred link for AS2 to get to 10/8. Would AS2 propagate any internal BGP announcements to AS3? (Same kinds of reasons as above, but this time AS1-rtr2 actually stopped announcing anything to AS2) I'm not certain of the right framework in which to think about the answers to these questions, alas. Clues from the operational side would be very welcome indeed. -Dave -- work: dga(a)lcs.mit.edu me: dga(a)pobox.com MIT Laboratory for Computer Science http://www.angio.net/

Verisign/NSI host reports
by Kevin Day 17 Apr '02

17 Apr '02

Does anyone know how to get meaningful host reports (they call them Domain Status Reports now) from verisign? It used to be that you could enter either a contact handle or a host handle, and get every domain that's attached to them. But now they have changed things so that as soon as a domain is moved into their "account" sytem (where you have a username/pass to do changes, instead of the old contact handle way), those domains no longer appear in any reports. I really need to get a list of all the domains that are pointing to my nameserver for to make delete a host record, but without knowing which domains to change, this is getting difficult. It took several calls to Verisign/NSI to even get anyone who knew what these reports are, when I finally did, the rep's exact words were "the domain status report system is pretty buggy". -- Kevin
