Akamai Edgescape query
by Janusz Jezowicz 13 Sep '16

13 Sep '16

Hello, We are doing some network research to various cloud/CDNs and we need to run few tests on Akamai Edgescape. Does anyone has access to run few queries to geo-locate IPs using Edgescape for us? We don't have Akamai contract and it would take us lot of time (and money) to get one just to run few tests. Many thanks for any help!

"Defensive" BGP hijacking?
by Hugo Slabbert 13 Sep '16

13 Sep '16

Hopefully this is operational enough, though obviously leaning more towards the policy side of things: What does nanog think about a DDoS scrubber hijacking a network "for defensive purposes"? http://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/09/alleged-vdos-proprietors-arrested-in-isr… "For about six hours, we were seeing attacks of more than 200 Gbps hitting us,” Townsend explained. “What we were doing was for defensive purposes. We were simply trying to get them to stop and to gather as much information as possible about the botnet they were using and report that to the proper authorities.” -- Hugo Slabbert | email, xmpp/jabber: hugo(a)slabnet.com pgp key: B178313E | also on Signal

From: NANOG <nanog-bounces(a)nanog.org> on behalf of Blake Hudson <blake(a)ispn.net> My suggestion is that BackConnect/Bryant Townsend should have their ASN revoked for fraudulently announcing another organization's address space. They are not law enforcement, they did not have a warrant or judicial oversight, they were not in immediate mortal peril, etc, etc. ------------------------------------------------- Are the RIRs the internet police? scott

ARIN has policies against fraudulently obtaining resources and has policies for revoking said resources. One could argue that announcing another org's IP resources without authorization is fraud and that said ip resources were fraudulently obtained during the time they were announced by BlackConnect. That said, this ASN was obtained through RIPE (despite the person/company being located in Calfornia, USA) and I did not see any RIPE policies related to fraud. My thought is that if Mr Townsend shows disregard for the stability of the internet by hijacking other's IP space, he should not be allowed to participate. There are comments to the Kreb's article indicating that this was not an isolated incident by Mr Townsend and instead represents one event in a pattern of behavior. ------------------------------------------------- I am somewhat in agreement with Mel: "This thoughtless action requires a response from the community, and an apology from BackConnect. If we can't police ourselves, someone we don't like will do it for us. " But the first part seems to verge on vigilantism. Solutions are hard. BGP filters should be in place. Maybe that's the non-vigilante response. Force filters somehow. However, this has all been discussed over and over here... ;-) scott
