by vijay gill 26 May '13

26 May '13

What software solution do people use for inventory management for things like riser/conduit drawdown, fiber inventory, physical topology store, CLR/DLR, x-connect, contracts, port inventory, etc. Any experiences in integrating workflow into those packages for work orders, modeling, drawdown levels, etc. /vijay

virbl.bit.nl, A list of virussending IP's
by Mark Schouten 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Hi All, Some of you might have heard about or suffered a listing on virbl.bit.nl. Virbl is a dns-list with IP's of which we (BIT) or one of the contributors [1] have received a email with a virus. We will list an IP after it has sent two virus-emails to one of our sources. We will remember that you sent those emails for seven days. IP's will only be listed as long as the last time we 'saw' the IP sending virusses is less than 24 hours and the total sent emails is greater than two, in the last seven days. The goal is to stop infected machines from sending virusses, and stop relaying-servers from forwarding, bouncing and otherwise deliver virusses. It does definitely help in preventing the use of useless cou cycles for scanning mail in your mailsetup. AS Administrators can login at [2]. A password will be emailed to a address you select. We look for addresses in the whois-info for your AS. You can see evidence, suspend hosts from the list and see stats about your AS. We are working on notifications, which will also be configurable in the login-interface. We currently use dnswl and the nlwhitelist (a list with the relay-servers for Dutch ISP's) as a exclude list. If anyone knows another trustworthy whitelist with relayservers from ISP's, please let me know so we can think about using that too. Also, if you're interested in contributing to Virbl, please email me off list. We prefer consumer ISP's, with some million messages per day. If you're using MailScanner or Amavisd-new, that would be great. Offcourse, the use of Virbl is free. See [3] on howto use it.

That's a wall > that I would not be willing to ask my customers to climb over. iiNet a reasonably sized Aussie ISP has a web page (specifially part of the 'My Account' page) where you can, with a simple check box, choose to have commonly abused ports blocked *for outgoing connections* or not. Last time I looked the ports blocked were: Port 25 Port 137 Port 138 Port 139 Port 445 How the back end works I don't know, but it is pretty seemless to the user, as I opted out of the block as soon as I connected. Their tech support is reasonably unintelligent at level 1, but even they were able to understand my problem and explain where the checkbox was so that within 35 seconds of taking the call my servers were open to the Internet in both directions.

Cisco interface - GB of transfer software
by Dale Turner 14 Oct '08

14 Oct '08

Good morning all, I hope my post isn't too off topic but I was wondering if anyone is using some open source or purchased software that would give me the monthly Data transfer from cisco switch ports so I can monitor/bill against some hosting customers. I know we can create our own but looking to see if there was something that anyone is using and recommends. Thank you very much Dale Turner

Could I get a godaddy mail admin to contact me off list? Ive been working with a client who has a hosted website and mail services and lost the ability to communicate with their SMTP server about 6 weeks ago. Been through about 4 hours on the phone with Godaddy Support and Comcast.

Ultimately, neither is forcing them off the internet. Well, in actuality, that resolves part of the problem, but I suspect that a lot of the affected cybercrime has moved to other networks by now... so in reality the real problem isn't solved (except that the problem is mostly being moved away from Intercage). And shutting down ISPs who host these guys will solve nothing either. They will jump providers until the end of time. The solution here is to go after the *people* who make this crap. They *are* breaking the law and we have the proof. William

paix palo attitude
by Randy Bush 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

we're looking at dropping 2/3 of a rack of routing research measurement kit into paix palo alto, and have some questions. considering the price of space and power, we want to kinda make sure we'll get the data we need. we are looking specifically for a large amount of bgp peering data, we hope that folk will give us bgp peering though we expect no in- or out-bound traffic. think analogously to route views, though the kit on our end will be grinding the beans much more finely, espressoBGP :). pnis are expensive. if we plug into the peering mesh, are any larger folk on it? if not, would we be better off at the linx, at de-cix, at amsix, in stockholm? private replies are probably better as this is not of general interest. thanks. randy
