Crews Survey Rita's Damage
by Fergie (Paul Ferguson) 25 Sep '05

Reuters: [snip] Joe Chandler, spokesman for BellSouth Corp., said about 560,000 customers were without service, mainly in northern Louisiana and northern Mississippi. He said crews already were out in areas that weren't severely flooded. "A lot of these lines are affected by loss of power," Chandler said. "Once power is restored, you'll see our outages go down." San Antonio-based SBC Communications Inc. said on its Web site that its core network in Texas "is fully functional, with the exception of a small central office in Sabine Pass," near hard-hit Port Arthur. Mark Siegel of Cingular Wireless said that "well over half of our sites are up" in Texas and Louisiana.

re: "Fixed already. There was cable ct bteween Moscow and St. Petersburg." Admittedly OT, but interesting for purpose of providing contrast, from Ghana: http://www.balancingact-africa.com/news/current1.html - Ghana Telecom (GT) has lost the underground network cable that provides communications to a number of major government offices in the Osu Castle in Accra, according to The Statesman newspaper. Bulldozer operative Collins Antwi is currently in police custody for causing unlawful damage to state property after his machine allegedly tore through the GT cabling as he worked on a site close to the Guinean Embassy. Around 7,000 users are thought to have been cut off following Antwis actions, including workers at the National Police Headquarters, the National Fire Service and the Bureau of National Investigations. The Statesman says that with the network down the running of the country will be a Herculean task.

Call to Arms: Rita Scams
by Gadi Evron 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Good evening. This is a notice from MWP, the malicious websites and phishing research & operational mailing list. Over the next few days some of us are going to process information about sites that will probably be used for Rita scams. Through MWP resources and ISP connections we are going to make sure these sites are taken off-line as soon as we detect them. Also, via reg-ops, an operational list for registrars, we are going to see if we can get the domains terminated at the registrar level. To accomplish this we don't want to rely only on our sources, but rather issue a Call to Arms to the public. If you know of a new Rita Hurricane Scam, please notify us by emailing me directly at ge(a)linuxbox.org with the subject line "Rita Report", where we will be processing them for the next week. We hope to get the cooperation of several incident response mechanisms both in the US and abroad. We will update you as we proceed and when we are done. If you run an incident response team that can handle Internet abuse and would like to take part, please contact us as well. Thank you for your help. Gadi Evron.

HTTP Proxies used for Fighting Spyware: Feedback
by Two Bit 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Hi there, long-time Nanog lurker network engineer with a (maybe off-topic) question related to network architecture solutions to fight the spyware/greyware problem. I was wondering if anyone might have any experience deploying anti-spyware solutions which reside on HTTP Proxies. Several products claim to be able to detect spyware on the wire such as ISS, SonicWall, Fortinet, Astaro, BlueCoat. However, I am concerned about the performance, especially since they have to use an AntiVirus product on the back-end (heavy processing). Curious what the user experience might be, how effective any of these solutions are in really catching spyware, and any other operational experiences from engineers employing any of these solutions out in the field (not from vendors, please) that may help narrow down the choices. Thanks for any input.
