Medical Emergency Help

This is off the wall, but I'd appreciate any suggestions. The most urgent thing -- does anyone know a 24 hour number, pager, or anyone personally at uniserve.com in vancouver? Their upstream provider does not. I have a email/chat room friend that has apparently taken a drug overdose attempting suicide. I only have her email address; a finger gives back her husband's name which is not a listed phone. THe only way I can think of is to reach someone at Uniserve who has access to the billing records for the account. Thanks for any help. Howard Berkowitz voice (703)998-5819/5017

Policies affecting the Internet as a whole - Hitting where it hurts
by Chris A. Icide 06 Jan '97

06 Jan '97

There is a certain individual at a certain ISP in the .ro domain. I have yet to determine if this user is the owner of said ISP or if they are but a user. As it may be, this person has been responsible for many hacking attempts, including the destruction of several UNIX systems (rm -rf* after gaining root) in other ISP's. The person is also suspected to have been an initiator of Severl damaging SYN attacks, although the only solid proof is of the UNIX hacking. Anyway, to get to the point, I along with several others have been in contact with the ISP, which is aware of the individual's activity and refuses to deal with those activities since "there are no laws affecting his use of our system in this manner, and we have no recourse." So, my question to you folks is, would something like the intentional black holing of the source network for this user (he apparently sources all attacks from one swamp Class C address) be an appropriate incentive to the ISP to deal with the problem? If so, where would be a good place to announce such measures, their goal, evidence, etc? I can see how such a thing could easily get out of hand if it's not taken seriously. Chris A.

Sprint Mailbombing Update 3PM EST
by Barry Shein 06 Jan '97

06 Jan '97

3PM EST and that mailbombing from a Sprint customer continues full-blast, well into its third full day, and Sprint continues to refuse to do anything about it. Go ahead, tell me again how this is nothing but a spam whine -- three days, thousands and thousands of messages, all being bounced back, non-stop, and Sprint refuses to lift a finger or acknowledge that this is an operational problem. Sprint should not be allowed to operate on the internet, they're destroying it, they're completely irresponsible. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs(a)world.std.com | http://www.std.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD The World | Public Access Internet | Since 1989

It Continues...Sprint Is played the fool...
by Barry Shein 04 Jan '97

Sorry if some of you are losing patience with this, I'm truly sorry, but this is amazingly evil. I get email from someone in Sprint Security, a new person, I'll be decent enough to leave his name out, around 10:30PM EST. The gist of it is that they've spoken with this guy who has been sending these thousands of msgs, and he's a reasonable fellow, and I'm inflating all this and perhaps even partly to blame, some wild and ridiculous story about how my refusing his mail with a 550 error is making his software do this, ridiculous if you know how mail actually works, that's like getting a User Unknown error, you just throw it on the floor, he runs sendmail 8.7 under Unix, telnet to his SMTP port at iq-internet.com. AT ABOUT 1AM EST THE MAIL LOOPING STARTS AGAIN, AFTER A FEW HOURS HIATUS. HE STARTED IT UP AGAIN! Unbelievable, I'm sorry, but this sort of behavior is going to destroy these networks, and I mean behavior on the part of people like Sprint. Bad people will happen, I know that, we all know that, but the people at Sprint have absolutely no excuse for their behavior other than sheer gullibility or abrogation of any shred responsibility. Is there anyone here, who Sprint will believe, who can tell them that they are dealing with a known evil person who is feeding them complete bull? Obviously they don't believe me and will give this execrable person more than every benefit of the doubt as he disrupts the network for his own vicious purposes, this is going into the third full day of this. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs(a)world.std.com | http://www.std.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD The World | Public Access Internet | Since 1989

I think the statement was more of "What wide-scale DEPLOYMENT" than saying that major vendors were not implementing. Owen

I'm quite aware of v6 implementation efforts; my point was that the *scale* at which v6 is actually being implemented is by no means, 'wide'. I suppose, however, that this is quite a subjective statement from both perspectives. I also hesitate to mention that there is a significant part of the industry that still questions the immediate need for IPv6, or perhaps has not been convinced that IPv6 actually fixes any existing problems, but that is another can of worms altogether and is better discussed in another venue. - paul (not representative of cisco Systems, Inc.)

Looks like the 45k mark was reached: Folks with 7000's and SSE's should start monitoring their memory utilization via "show sse summary". Tony
