Ransom DDoS attack - need help!
by halp us 18 Jul '25

18 Jul '25

All, I've been a NANOG member for many years but I'm emailing from an anonymous account to reduce the chance of the attackers finding me. A company that shall remain anonymous has received a ransom DDoS note from a very well known group that has been in the news lately. Recently they've threatened to carry out a major DDoS attack if they are not paid by a deadline which is approaching. They've performed an attack of a smaller magnitude to prove that they're serious. Based on certain details that I can't reveal here, we believe the magnitude of the upcoming attack may be in the several hundred Gbps. I would really appreciate help in a few areas (primarily with certain provider contacts/intros) so we can execute our strategy (which I can't reveal here for obvious reasons). If you email me off-list with a name/email that you've previously used on-list, I will reply from my real email. Alternatively, if you can post your experiences on-list with large scale high profile ransom DDoS attacks, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks

Quanta LB4M
by Mike Hammett 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

Has anyone gotten a "non-factory" firmware to go onto these guys? There are a couple threads on Google that are inconclusive. There are rumors that it's the same as a Dell something or an HP something else, but no one has outright said, "I loaded a Dell XXXX firmware onto it and solved all of the random ass bugs." If I didn't already have a couple of stacked Extreme x400s, I'd consider these at home, but they're somewhat buggy. Quanta told me to contact whomever I bought it from... but I don't think the random guy on eBay is going to have much of anything useful to say. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com

Multi-port RFC2544/EtherSAM loopback appliance
by Jason Lixfeld 25 May '17

25 May '17

Group, I'm looking for options and opinions on a cost effective, multi-port (6'ish port SFP/SFP+) RFC2544/EtherSAM rack appliance that can act as the remote/loopback for our field installers' portable RFC2544/EtherSAM enabled Exfo test sets. I came across XenaNetworks XenaCompact which looks like it would fit the bill, but I'm sure there are others (save Ixia, Exfo and Fluke, which I'm pretty much excluding by default because I imagine they are likely completely out to lunch on price relative to the extremely simplified feature set we require). Thanks in advance.

Experience on Wanguard for 'anti' DDOS solutions
by Marcel Duregards 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Dear Nogers, We are currently evaluating some DDOS detection/mitigation solutions. Do you have any inputs/experiences on Wanguard from Andrisoft, please ?https://www.andrisoft.com/software/wanguard Currently we are just interested on the packets/flows sensors with the console for detection and RTBH trigger. Maybe the packet filtering (for scrubbing) will come later. Best Regards,-Marcel Duregards

Public DNS64
by Tim Durack 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

Anyone know of a reliable public DNS64 service? Would be cool if Google added a Public DNS64 service, then I could point the NAT64 prefix at appropriately placed boxes in my network. Why? Other people are better than me at running DNS resolvers :-) -- Tim:>

Network Weathermap
by James Bensley 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Hi All, Those of you that have a network weathermap similar to [1], what software are you using to edit the maps, the built in editor or something custom, 3rd party/external editor? Paid or free editor? I'm look for a better editing tool I can preferably use with that plugin (we are feeding it from Cacti). I'm open to both open source editors and paid commercial ones. Maybe you use a different weathermap tool, again I'd be interested to hear about that too. Doesn't have to be fed from Cacti/RRDs. Maybe I'm just pants at being visual [2] but I'm finding that making large maps isn't that well supported (the 'move' option on nodes and using the 'via' option on links becomes less accurate) and it's difficult to keep "busy" images clean (no grid, or snap-to-grid, scaling for higher res maps for larger networks etc). The main problem is keeping everything neat though. An example would be that we acquire a network, want to extend an existing map to incorporate the new network, I can’t select a bunch of objects and move them along all together I have to painstakingly move each node by hand, align each link and node by hand etc. Cheers, James. [1] http://network-weathermap.com/manual/0.97b/ [2] That is most likely the main problem here

Juniper MX Sizing
by Graham Johnston 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

I am wondering if anyone can provide their real world experience about sizing Juniper MX routers as it relates to BGP. I am needing a device that has a mix of layer 2 and 3 features, including MPLS, that will have a very low port count requirement that will primarily be used at a remote POP site to connect to the local IX as well as one or two full route transit providers. The MX104 has what I need from a physical standpoint and a data plane standpoint, as well as power consumption figures. My only concern is whether the REs have enough horsepower to churn through the convergence calculations at a rate that operators in this situation would find acceptable. I realize that 'acceptable' is a moving target so I would happily accept feedback from people using them as to how long it takes and their happiness with the product. For those of you that deem the MX104 unacceptable in this kind of role and moved up to the MX240, what RE did you elect to use? Thanks, Graham Johnston Network Planner Westman Communications Group 204.717.2829 johnstong(a)westmancom.com<mailto:johnstong@westmancom.com> P think green; don't print this email.

common checks performed when passing on an IPv4 PA allocation from one end-customer to another
by Martin T 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Hi, when one end-customer has been using for example /24 IPv4 allocation for a while and returns this(for example changes an ISP) to LIR, then are there some good practices before handing out this same /24 to a new customer? I guess LIR should: 1) remove all the DNS PTR records, classless of classful delegations 2) check if some of the IP addresses are in DNSBL(maybe the previous customer was a spammer). Example with 93.184.216.0/24: $ for ip in {0..255}.216.184.93;\ > do for addr in \ > cbl.abuseat.org \ > dnsbl.inps.de \ > no-more-funn.moensted.dk \ > dnsbl.sorbs.net \ > bl.spamcannibal.org \ > bl.spamcop.net \ > psbl.surriel.com \ > dnsrbl.swinog.ch; \ > do dig @8.8.8.8 "$ip"."$addr" +short | grep -q "^127.0.0." && \ > echo "DNSBL-Alarm: $ip is listed on $addr"; done; done $ Anything else? regards, Martin
