The state-level attack on the SSL CA security model
by Martin Millnert 20 Nov '25

20 Nov '25

To my surprise, I did not see a mention in this community of the latest proof of the complete failure of the SSL CA model to actually do what it is supposed to: provide security, rather than a false sense of security. Essentially a state somewhere between Iraq and Pakistan snatched valid certs for: - mail.google.com - www.google.com - login.yahoo.com - login.skype.com - addons.mozilla.org - login.live.com - "global trustee" https://blog.torproject.org/blog/detecting-certificate-authority-compromise… http://www.comodo.com/Comodo-Fraud-Incident-2011-03-23.html http://www.imperialviolet.org/2011/03/18/revocation.html (on epic failure of cert revocation lists implementations in browsers, failing open (!)) http://blog.mozilla.com/security/2011/03/22/firefox-blocking-fraudulent-cer… http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/2524375.mspx For over a week users of browsers, and the internet at large, were/was not informed by COMODO that their security was compromised. "Why not" is beyond many of us. Announcing this high and loud even before fixes were available would not have exposed more users to threats, but less. Conclusion: protecting people must not be a priority in the SSL CA model. In some places, failure of internet security means people die, and it is high time to start serious work to replace this time-and-time again proven flawed model with something that, at the very least, does not fail this tragically. DNSSEC is a good but insufficient start in this particular case. Regards, Martin

Blocking private AS
by Thomas Magill 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

I am thinking about implementing a filter to block all traffic with private AS numbers in the path. I see quite a few in my table though so I am concerned I might block some legitimate traffic. In some cases, these are just prefixes with the private appended to the end but a few have the private as a transit. Is this a good idea or would I likely be blocking too much legitimate traffic? The filter I am using currently shows the following: BGP table version is 5462394, local router ID is 209.112.253.4 Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal, r RIB-failure, S Stale Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path * i58.68.109.0/24 x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 9498 10201 65534 i *> y.y.y.y 0 6130 9498 10201 65534 i * i68.115.224.0/24 x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 19151 20115 65011 i *> y.y.y.y 0 6130 19151 20115 65011 i * 85.112.22.0/24 y.y.y.y 0 6130 6939 23148 64532 64532 64532 64532 64532 64532 64532 64532 64532 i *> 93.189.194.0/24 y.y.y.y 0 6130 3549 39386 39386 39386 25233 65000 47146 i * i x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 3549 39386 39386 39386 25233 65000 47146 i *> 96.60.243.0/24 y.y.y.y 0 6130 2828 4181 65528 i * i x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 2828 4181 65528 i * i96.61.232.0/24 x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 2828 4181 65527 i *> y.y.y.y 0 6130 2828 4181 65527 i * i96.61.233.0/24 x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 2828 4181 65527 i *> y.y.y.y 0 6130 2828 4181 65527 i * i96.61.234.0/24 x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 2828 4181 65527 i *> y.y.y.y 0 6130 2828 4181 65527 i *> 148.207.2.0/24 y.y.y.y 0 6130 2828 3257 16531 13579 65090 i * i x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 2828 3257 16531 13579 65090 i *> 148.207.40.0/24 y.y.y.y 0 6130 2828 3257 16531 13579 65090 i * i x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 2828 3257 16531 13579 65090 i *> 148.207.97.0/24 y.y.y.y 0 6130 2828 3257 16531 13579 65090 i * i x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 2828 3257 16531 13579 65090 i * 170.34.100.0/24 y.y.y.y 0 6130 19151 20115 65011 ? * 170.34.104.0/24 y.y.y.y 0 6130 19151 20115 65011 ? * 170.34.113.0/24 y.y.y.y 0 6130 19151 20115 65011 ? * i174.35.1.0/24 x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 16467 64565 i * i174.47.199.0/24 x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 2828 4323 15065 65123 i *> y.y.y.y 0 6130 2828 4323 15065 65123 i * i192.109.61.0 x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 19151 20115 65011 i *> y.y.y.y 0 6130 19151 20115 65011 i *> 196.216.249.0 y.y.y.y 0 6130 2828 3257 8513 8513 8513 36881 65000 36896 37062 i * i x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 2828 3257 8513 8513 8513 36881 65000 36896 37062 i Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path *> 209.172.69.128/30 y.y.y.y 0 6130 16467 64565 i * i x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 16467 64565 i *> 213.146.161.0 y.y.y.y 0 6130 2828 174 64679 48493 i * i x.x.x.x 0 100 0 6130 2828 174 64679 48493 i Thomas Magill Network Engineer Office: (858) 909-3777 Cell: (858) 869-9685 mailto:tmagill@providecommerce.com <mailto:tmagill@providecommerce.com> provide-commerce 4840 Eastgate Mall San Diego, CA 92121 ProFlowers <http://www.proflowers.com/> | redENVELOPE <http://www.redenvelope.com/> | Cherry Moon Farms <http://www.cherrymoonfarms.com/> | Shari's Berries <http://www.berries.com/>

Network topology
by Colin Alston 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

Hi all I'm considering trying to come up with some means to automatically detect a networks topology and draw pretty pictures. This is somewhat boring though if a network isn't well arranged with VLANs and q-tag trunk routers and so on (It will just look like a big cloud of junk connected off an assumed switch). Is there any kind of cunning trick to detect standard layer2 switches along a path without stuff like STP?

Inventory and workflow management systems
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

Route Optimization Software / Appliance
by Babak Pasdar 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Hello Group, I was wondering if anyone could share their experience with any route optimization approaches, methodologies or platforms, either open source or commercial (Internap FCP), that can actively adjust BGP parameters based on latency and number of layer 3 hops to a network rather than AS hops. We have upstreams all over the country and we would like to automate optimization to take the best egress path. Thank you for your feedback in advance.

RE: Outgoing SMTP Servers

Owen, When you stretch an analogy this thin, it always falls apart. I was referring to the poison/pollution not the water/air. A drought/vacuum* would not be possible, but would you want the poisoned water/air? This analogy is bad enough without the nits picked out. I actually mixed two posts to create a stream analogy out of an air analogy. I will not go any further and all further follows on to this analogy should be ignored. :) - Brian J. * a lack of air (for a reasonable deffinition of air) would be a vacuum... right? >-----Original Message----- >From: Owen DeLong [mailto:owen@delong.com] >Sent: Friday, October 28, 2011 12:11 PM >To: Brian Johnson >Subject: Re: Outgoing SMTP Servers > >> >>>> Nor is the data transiting these networks a commons.
