OK, who's the idiot using tcwireless.us?

Somebody on the NANOG mailing list has their mail pointing to tcwireless.us, which is throwing challenge/response mail like the following: Your message From: Valdis.Kletnieks(a)vt.edu To: n3td3v <xploitable(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: Fwd: cnn.com - Homeland Security seeks cyber counterattack system ( Einstein 3.0) Date: 10/6/2008 has been just received by gmail.com mailserver. To prove that your message was sent by a human and not a computer, please visit the URL below and type in the alphanumeric text you will see in the image. You will be asked to do this only once for this recipient. http://mail.tcwireless.us/challenge/?folder=2008100614384085099427 Your message will be automatically deleted in a few days if you do not confirm this request. ===================================================== DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE. NO ONE WILL RECEIVE IT. ===================================================== Note it says 'gmail.com mailserver'. Paul Ferguson reported to me that the one he saw said 'received by vt.edu mailserver'. Also note that the From/To has lost nanog(a)nanog.org - for both my note and Paul's (in fact, looking at Paul's actual posting and mine show nanog(a)nanog.org as being the only common link, thus the "must be a nanog subscriber" conclusion). Please, if you're going to use a C/R, at least learn how to whitelist the mailing lists you're on. And if you can't figure out how to do that, please do us all a favor and not try to run an operational network...

NANOG 45 Jan 25-28 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
by Todd Underwood 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

<hat org="NANOG Program Committee" role="Chair"> NANOG45 will be held in the middle of the North American Winter in beautiful Santo Domingo in the Dominican republic on January 25-28. http://nanog.org/meetings/nanog45/ This is the first time that a NANOG has been held outside of the US or Canada and everyone involved is excited about the opportunity. It's just like Toronto in February (which was actually fantastic) but it's the Caribbean in January. :-) The Call for Presentations is already up: http://nanog.org/meetings/nanog45/callforpresent.php Presentations can be submitted at [4]http://www.nanogpc.org/ (please ignore the references to NANOG44--we'll change those references over to NANOG45 at the close of the NANOG44 conference). If you have a good idea for a presentation but need some feedback or some help developing it, please contact me and I'll be happy to either work directly with you or find someone else on the program committee to help you put together a presentation. We have already received a number of early submissions for NANOG45 so for the best chance to be accepted, please begin working on your presentations now. Thanks, Todd Underwood NANOG Program Committee Chair </hat> -- _____________________________________________________________________ todd underwood +1 603 643 9300 x101 renesys corporation todd(a)renesys.com http://www.renesys.com/blog
