New c-nsp, j-nsp, a-nsp, etc mailing lists
I was a big fan of the *-nsp@puck.nether.net<mailto:*-nsp@puck.nether.net> mailing lists that now seem to be completely gone without any indication of whether or when they might return. I've been considering just setting up new ones. Please email me off-list if you think this might be useful. Thanks, -Drew
NSP-* were retired for a multitude of reasons. Quoting Barry Greene from Jan 10, 2025 on the primary NSP-SEC list:
Many of us are retiring. We’re losing people (we miss Don). We do not have people to be the facilitators/admins - we are just too busy.
Best of all, NSP-SEC pioneered the principle of operational trust, where we collectively work together to tackle security incidents rapidly. Our collaboration builds “Service Provider Security.” We have many other groups that spun out. Our collaboration created ISOI and other “fight club” work.
Thank you to everyone who participated over the decades (yes, it has been decades).
As Barry mentioned, there are spin-off groups that now carry the torch for the work that the original NSP-* lists pioneered.

erp... so... the various 'my hardware/software don't do what i want' *-nsp lists @ puck, were very different from nsp-sec @ puck. Yes, barry spun down (with the community's mostly-support) the nsp-sec list(s). The *-nsp lists appear to still have mailman content on puck.. (I can't say that I've subscribed to any but juniper-nsp over the years? and can't recall where that goes ;() i do see mail logs for cisco-nsp happening today.. I think it's alive, I'd check with Jared though about what's going on? :) On Wed, Jul 30, 2025 at 2:18 PM Marco Moock via NANOG <nanog@lists.nanog.org> wrote:

Perhaps it is simple. Lots of people has moved on to other tools, forums, and communities. That is a good thing. I’m on Cisco-nsp and Juniper-nsp, but don’t see much activity. I tap into other communities when I need help (or fire up my LLMs trained for network engineering). As Chris mentioned, nsp-sec is retired. Most of the old timers are on other more effective tools/communities for TLP: RED and TLP: AMBER collaboration. Some of the original nsp-sec crew are now retired. If you are new to network security and looking for a “vetting path,” apply to get into FIRST NetSec SIG (https://www.first.org/global/sigs/netsec/). Another path is active participation in the NANOG security tracks (don’t just sit there, talk to the speakers and the ones who ask questions). Finally, a shout out to Chris. NSP-SEC was one of the very really “Security Trust Groups.” Chris sharing details of attacks, working to get other operators talking/sharing, and “trusting” that ‘compeditors’ were not going to abuse the trust demonstrated to many that we can have “security trust groups” that take collective action. Thanks Chris.

pip-pip! :) Thanks for the years (decades!) of work Barry and all of the other nsp-sec folks (and the folk on juniper-nsp that've helped me more than my share of times :) )

Not sure these are working anymore. Both c-nsp and j-nsp have been quiet for months. I sent a test post, nothing came back. Not even a bounce. Mark.
I've sent yesterday a new subscription to c-nsp, with a new email address. No "confirm-your-email" nor "Welcome" email yet. My old c-nsp subscription stopped working in March 2025 (March 7th I received the last email).
Not sure these are working anymore.
Agree. It feels oddly abandoned. I can understand a shutdown, people spend their own time and money to run these lists - but the subscription web page is still alive. Only nothing seems to happen :-) Marc On Fri, 1 Aug 2025 07:29:17 +0200, Mark Tinka via NANOG wrote:

I'm pretty sure I got that monthly email of what your password was in the last month from c-nsp. Which seemed security-wise a little unusual all these years.

March 1st is the last List Information email I have from puck. This is the email from Jared on what was happening. Doesn't appear the restore went so well.

If they need a new home or resources to host and manage I would be happy to help. I have found the listserv's very helpful over the years. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Tinka via NANOG <nanog@lists.nanog.org> Sent: Friday, August 1, 2025 1:29 AM To: North American Network Operators Group <nanog@lists.nanog.org> Cc: Mark Tinka <mark@tinka.africa> Subject: Re: New c-nsp, j-nsp, a-nsp, etc mailing lists On 7/30/25 22:42, Christopher Morrow via NANOG wrote:
