http://forums.juniper.net/t5/Security-Incident-Response/Important-Announcem… https://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=JSA10713&cat=SIRT_1… Should we blame Juniper for letting a git repository open to "unauthorized code" or should we congratulate them for their frankness (few corporations would have admitted the problem)?

reliably detecting the presence of a bridge?
by Dave Taht 19 Dec '15

19 Dec '15

I am curious if there is some sort of igmp or other form of message that would reliably detect if a switch had a bridge on it. How could deviceA detect deviceC was a bridge in this case? deviceA -> ethernet switch -> deviceB ethernet switch -> deviceC with bridged wifi and ethernet question came up in the context of: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/babel-users/2015-December/002231.h… -- Dave Täht Let's go make home routers and wifi faster!

failover via comcast tunnel?
by bzs＠theworld.com 18 Dec '15

18 Dec '15

I'm looking at some sort of 50-100mbps failover link in case my primary is down. My options seem limited particularly since I'm cheap. I see Comcast has unlimited data business links in this range but I'm not sure I'd want to deal with the management issue of BGP or swapping ip blocks etc with them in an emergency. I just tried calling their business sales line and after the initial "Thank you for calling Comcast Business Services etc" it dropped me...three times. Yeah, that builds confidence. So I'm thinking something more like using their service as a raw bandwidth pipe and tunneling to an actual route provider? Crazy? Anyone done anything like this? Are there tools for that? Other, similar suggestions? Feel free contact me off-list. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs(a)TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD The World | Public Access Internet | Since 1989 *oo*

ISP marking ipsec traffic based on certificate, how is this possible?
by Mark Zimmer 18 Dec '15

18 Dec '15

Hello list, I have a site-to-site ipsec vpn with strongswan. It was working well for 5-6 months then a day ago I have noticed something strange, that from Site-A to Site-B (tunnel mode) only the upload bandwidth is capped down to 20-30kbit/s inside the VPN. I have tried various apps like ftp, scp on different ports it was the same result. I also ran speedtest/wget on both endpoints just to make sure that not the entire connection of those networks are capped. Since outside parties cannot see anything from what's going on inside the tunnel, first I was thinking that they started limiting the traffic based on port (4500 udp) or based on protocol (ESP), that is easy to do. In older versions of strongswan it's not possible to change the charon nat port (probably wouldn't work anyway since most of the traffic should be ESP (protocol 50)). I have restarted the strongswan daemon on both endpoints multiple times it did not change the situation (the bandwidth limiting was still present). So my last idea was to make new vpn certificates. For my biggest surprise with the new certificates the capping was gone and the bandwidth went back to normal. I hope I don't have to put the old certs back from backup just to make a point. One of the ISPs must started tagging the ipsec traffic based on the certificate and then do traffic shaping (QoS) on it to throttle down the bandwidth. How is this even possible? I was thinking that an ipsec connection is encrypted and random from the beginning. How can they define a pattern to their whatever device to be able to mark this specific traffic? Is there a part at the beginning of the connection sequence which is always the same with using the same certificate? Do I have to worry about here that my vpn keys got compromised? Anybody ever experienced this? Thanks!

AT&T (SBC Global) email admins?
by Tim Howe 17 Dec '15

17 Dec '15

I hate going this route, but repeated attempts at all other avenues have been exhausted. We have a customer IP that has been blocked from sending email to SBC Global addresses since day one. The options AT&T has presented for dealing with this clearly have no effect or simply don't work (one of the email addresses bounces). Could someone contact me privately and clue me in as to who can be contacted to clear an old blacklist entry? --TimH
