RE: Trying to find DNS control panel
by Mitchell, Dan 12 Jun '02

Chris, I would recommend Webmin if you're looking for a straight-forward *NIX-based control panel -- very easy to use, and you can limit access to other Webmin features through account permissions. They're at http://webmin.com. I believe Tzolkin makes a nice one as well, but it's a commercial product/service. They're the same folks who do dynamic DNS and a really cool DNS-based autofailover product. They're at http://www.tzo.com.

Cybersecurity Final Exam
by Sean Donelan 12 Jun '02

12 Jun '02

If these questions are answered incorrectly, it could impact your operations. 53 Questions for Developing the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace http://www.whitehouse.gov/pcipb/53ques.html 1.2. Assistance: What can be done to make it easier for home users and small businesses to safe guard their systems? Should internet service providers (ISPs) perform more of the cybersecurity functions for the home user and small business? 1.3. Disclosure: What disclosure of risk should ISPs, software vendors, and hardware vendors make to home users and small businesses? 3.A.5. Connecting Critical Functions to the Internet: How should we best address the security risks arising from critical Federal functions being performed on networks that have routers and other systems vulnerable to denial of service and other cyber attacks from the internet? 3.B.6. Connecting Critical Functions to the Internet: Are there sectors that perform critical functions which could achieve greater security and reliability by operating networks unconnected to the internet and other public switch, open systems? 4.3. Securing the Mechanics of the Internet: Can the traffic control systems of the internet (Domain Name Servers, Border Gateway Protocols) be made more secure? Can routers be made more secure by separating control functions from the general traffic channel? How can major denial of service attacks be mitigated? What problems arise in deploying more secure systems, how should they be overcome, and how should such improvements be funded?

SH> That was indeed the issue, and a separate list is a great idea. I would like to vote for ES's point of view. I am not able to attend the meetings and I really like to see the change in conversation modes when meetings are going on. At least, if there is a different list for content from meetings let any of us sign up for the emails rather than just allowing meeting attendees only. Thanks, scott

mail-abuse.org down?
by jlewis＠lewis.org 11 Jun '02

11 Jun '02

Yesterday morning, I noticed mail-abuse.org appeared to be down (unreachable). I checked again, and it's still unreachable. In fact, I can't even reach its name server. I did some more looking last night, and it seems it's not down, it's just unreachable from my network. Even stranger, it's only unreachable from Atlantic.Net's primary ARIN block of 209.208.0.0/17. Traceroutes die at so-1-1-0.mpr1.sql1.us.mfnx.net (209.249.203.58). Router interfaces (using provider IPs) and a smaller IP block from an ISP we acquired are able to reach mail-abuse.org, as are other networks I have access to. We don't appear to be listed in the MAPS RBL+. I've tried clearing BGP sessions, forcing packets out through alternate paths, with no affect. Is this some weird routing glitch somewhere between me and MAPS or has someone at MAPS or vix.com decided they don't like me? Also, though it seems to be on a totally different network, I've just noticed I have the same problem reaching f.root-servers.net only from 209.208.0.0/17. Here traceroutes die at 189.ATM11-0-0.BR1.PAO1.ALTER.NET (146.188.148.105). I certainly hope this isn't yet another case of someone confusing Atlantic.Net/Internet Connect Company, Inc. with ATLANTIC INTERNET (NETBLK-Q0417-65-124-104-0) 621 NW 53RD ST. SUIT E135 BOCA RATON, FL 33487 US Netname: Q0417-65-124-104-0 Netblock: 65.124.104.0 - 65.124.111.255 Atlantic Internet is full of commercial spammers and has just recently resulted in several providers blacklisting our primary ARIN block thinking we were the same company. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis(a)lewis.org*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________

Reclaiming hijacked handle
by Martin Hannigan 10 Jun '02

10 Jun '02

I noticed my handle was hijacked by a company I used to work for. Naturally, I want it back since I went to use it and it's incorrect. My old handle, MH309, is now MH569. Question 1: Did ARIN start expiring unused handles or did something in the process of the hijack cause my handle to increment up to 569, which I'm assuming was the next open number in the in the scheme for 'MH'. Question 2: If an account is passworded, how were they able to take it? Does ARIN not ask for a copy of a license or other photo ID when making voice/fax based changes to POC's? [ Then again, they could've used my photo from the HR files ala I9 documentation ] Thanks, -M

by hostmaster 10 Jun '02

10 Jun '02

all concerned... Alldas.org - the server that accumulated most web defacements - send me an email in which they explained that they in a desperate need of a new hosting-location. Without this they cannot continue providing the net community and the network operators with this service which they've done for about 4 years now. At this time the service stopped. Alldas.org is NON-commercial. They need: Free hosting with stand-alone computer running Linux/*NIX with a hard drive cap of 20-40 GB, being able to handle ~300.000 uniq. visits/month. Anybody willing to help, send an email to: helpdesk(a)alldas.org Much obliged Bertil Fortrie Hostmaster(a)nso.org

BGP Tutorial update...
by Philip Smith 10 Jun '02

10 Jun '02

Hi, An update on the AS3257 community slide I included at the end of the BGP Tutorial - it was pointed out that www.as3257.net/html/communities.htm no longer existed as I had on the presentation. And there seem to be no links to it on the Tiscali website either... It's still at www.archive.org under http://web.archive.org/web/20011004092913/http://www.as3257.net/html/commun… so anyone who is interested in the full copy of that website should grab a copy from there. I'll try find out what has happened to the original site... philip --
