Reporting botnets?
by Konstantin Barinov 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

Hello colleagues, Please advise, where to can I report botnet control activities? I'm from overseas and interested if there are some law enforcement organizations in US who may handle these issues? I assume it is illegal business in US, and I have enough evidence how botnet control sites command our trojaned customer PC's to send spam and activate DDoS attacks. Thank you! -- Konstantin Barinov, Senior Network Engineer INFONET AS, http://infonet.ee, sbr(a)infonet.ee

Virus: Remarks about Virus Volume reduction since mid-decemeber 2006
by Alain Hebert 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

Hi, We had a constant volume of virus trapped by clamav, mcafee, etc. of about 2% of all mail traffics coming from outside our network. Since mid-december the volume is now under 0.2% while the mail traffic stay in line with the tendencies of the previous year. I'm not looking for opertional instructions about clamav, broken config, etc. But if anybody else noticed a volume reduction also? And I'm curious to find out which network finally got fixed... Thanks and have a good year. -- Alain Hebert ahebert(a)pubnix.net PubNIX Inc. P.O. Box 175 Beaconsfield, Quebec H9W 5T7 tel 514-990-5911 http://www.pubnix.net fax 514-990-9443

Folks, We've had a UPS failure in the colo space where much of the routeviews gear is housed. We're working on bringing it all back up, but I suspect its going to be a few minutes (like 30-45). Thanks, and sorry for any inconvenience. Dave

Re: QWest is having some pretty nice DNS issues right now

On Monday 09 Jan 2006 15:46, you wrote: > What do you mean by "the authoritative name servers on different logical > networks." Whatever the logical division of IP routing is. On the internet this is usually AS number, but the network engineers might know of linkages between different networks at the same organisation. So it is probably wise to host one DNS server somewhere completely unrelated - different IX, different continent etc.

Sprint fixed

This is from InterNAP just now. -Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Notification Report Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 8:45 PM To: Notification Report Subject: [EVENT UPDATE/RESOLUTION] Sprint Latency issues 20060109 [190743] Hello, As of 23:16 EST today, we have re-enabled the BGP peering with Sprint in all of our PNAPs. We were previously seeing latency, minor packet loss and path problems, which may have caused minor issues with your circuit(s). Sprint traced this issue to be a fiber cut affecting a number of their IP services throughout the United States, including their BGP sessions with Internap in our LAX, SJE, DEN, WDC, CHG, NYC, and OCY PNAPs. You can read the press release from Sprint on this issue at the following link: http://www2.sprint.com/mr/news_dtl.do?id=9680 While the fiber cut was being repaired, we had turned down our BGP sessions until further notice from Sprint. We received notification from Sprint at approximately 22:12 EST that all services were restored, and have completed turning Sprint back up in all PNAPs at approximately 23:16. While we turned the BGP sessions back up, customers may have noticed some sub-optimal routing or slight latency as traffic to/from the Sprint network was re-routed back to using Sprint. We are seeing stable connectivity at this time, and believe the issue to be resolved. In the meantime, we will continue to closely monitor this situation throughout the evening to ensure that everything remains stable. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you. Internap will continue to track this issue under ticket #190743. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Network Operations Center at noc(a)internap.com, or call us at 877.843.4662. Thanks, -Mike
