Registrar and registry backend processes.
by Michael Loftis 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

I think, briefly, that we need to force Verisign and the registrars to be FAR more public about the backend process for WHOIS data and for the TLD zone data. Especially with .com, .net, and probably .org, and this latest failure of 'the system' and the obvious lack of information on 'the system.' It's clearly broken, and needs to be put up for public review by 'the powers that be' so that it can be fixed. What's happening now feels close to a boiler room poker game, noone seems to know all the players, and even fewer know all the rules, so in the end everyone is a loser. I know this is adding fuel to the proverbial fire, but apparently we need to burn out this thing so we don't get scorched by yet another unexpected fire.

And I completely agree that it's a big pain to coordinate this. In the same hand, SBC and all other 'big' providers use BGP to dynamically update their routing tables. Their BOGON filtering should use the same sort of mechanism. If they're not going to use something like the Cymru BOGON BGP feed they should build their own and should have configured their managed routers to query that from the beginning. As more old-BOGON IP's come into play, more and more of the Internet is going to 'fall off' to these legacy route access list restricted routers. As much as I would have liked to coin the term 'network monkey', I read it in this thread by someone much more creative than I. :-) James Laszko Pipeline Communications, Inc. james(a)pcipros.com

RE: Regarding panix.com
by Bruce Tonkin 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

Hello All, I have had a few emails regarding a perception that we have limited support to deal with issues such as panix.com, so I will just set the record straight. We provide a standard first level retail customer service line 24 hours by 5.5 days. (which gives business hours service in all world time zones). We provide 24 hour by 7 day customer service for resellers (typically ISPs, web hosting companies etc). We provide 24 hour by 7 day second level technical operations support. Most major registrars and ICANN have direct contacts into the technical parts of Melbourne IT. I received notification from several parties via email (but I don't read email 24 hours a day). We are looking at our processes to ensure that incidents such as occurred with panix.com can be addressed more quickly within Melbourne IT, and also checking to ensure that an appropriate number of external people have access to the right contacts at Melbourne IT to fast track serious issues. Regards, Bruce Tonkin Chief Technology Officer Melbourne IT

Association of Trustworthy Roots?
by William Allen Simpson 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

While the Association of Trustworthy ISPs idea has some merit, we've not been too successful in self-organizing lately. ISP/C? At the moment, I'm concerned whether we have trustworthy TLD operators. It's been about 24 hours, it is well-known that the domain has been hijacked, we've heard directly from the domain owner and operator, but the TLD servers are still pointing to the hijacker. -- William Allen Simpson Key fingerprint = 17 40 5E 67 15 6F 31 26 DD 0D B9 9B 6A 15 2C 32

Hello William, > 1. MIT receives transfer request from reseller 2. MIT sends > email confirmation to whois contact (which contact - tech, > admin?) Melbourne IT would collect the WHOIS information for the particular domain name. We would store the critical details. For .com names, we would send the email confirmation to the: Admin Contact email address The email confirmation uses this format: http://www.icann.org/transfers/foa-auth-12jul04.htm The standard form ensures that the registrant is giving explicit authorisation for the transfer and not something else (e.g a renewal). The email confirmation has a unique link (with unique code) to a Melbourne IT website. The web page again includes the authorisation information. (in the case of a name for an EPP registry, you would also be asked for the AUTH-INFO password) We would log the authorisation along with the IP address used to access the website. > 3. MIT sends email (or is it request through Verisign RRP?) > to Verisign MIT would send an RRP command to the Verisign registry. 4. The Verisign registry checks to see if the name is on Registrar LOCK. If the name is on LOCK, the RRP command will fail. 5. If the name is not on Registrar LOCK< the registry sends an email notification to both the losing and gaining registrar. I have already sent a copy of the notification used in the panix.com case. 6. MIT then waits for confirmation from the registry that the transfer is complete. This usually takes 5 days, although a losing reigstrar can explicitly confirm a transfer. > > I also would like to confirm who is responsible for denying > transfer request if LOCK is present. The registry does this. Regards, Bruce Tonkin

Sure, start with the customer and convince them that there is a problem. SBC has, like sprint/att/mci/qwest/abovenet/blah-provider-of-managed-services 12 groups that do 'similar' things for 'managed customers'. Fighting their phone tree as a non-customer is a fruitless effort. Fighting the phone-tree for gov't agency #13 to let them know that some of their 'customers' aren't able to reach them might prove simpler. -Chris

Hello William, > > We know how to do 3-way handshakes. Rather a fundamental of > the Internet. So quickly folks forget.... > > We knew in advance that the VRSN/NetSol/whatever protocol was > terrible, and that the ICANN policy change was not going to > be helpful. The ICANN policy change had no impact on this particular incident. As the incident has been documented so far, the transfer would have occurred under both the old and the new policy. With respect to the protocol. An IETF process was used to develop the EPP protocol as a replacement for RRP. With respect to notifications of transfers, the new protocol handles this by a message queue at the registry. (ie email is no longer the mechanism). It might be useful to consider reviewing the protocol to ensure that a transfer cannot proceed unless the losing registrar system confirms receipt of the transfer request. Regards, Bruce
