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

IPv6 Residential Deployment Survey
by John Curran 24 Jan '19

24 Jan '19

NANOGers - If you are providing residential Internet service with IPv6 (or are a customer of same), please take a moment to complete Jordi’s survey - this will help provide insight into the actual technical practices being used in residential IPv6 deployment. More details in attached email - Thanks! /John Begin forwarded message: From: John Curran <jcurran(a)arin.net<mailto:jcurran@arin.net>> Subject: [arin-ppml] IPv6 Residential Deployment Survey Date: May 22, 2016 at 6:24:17 AM GMT+2 To: ARIN PPML <ppml(a)arin.net<mailto:ppml@arin.net>> Folks - Jordi Palet Martínez is conducting a brief survey regarding IPv6 deployment in residential Internet service. Having insight into the various practices that are in use may help to inform IPv6 number resource policy development, and thus I ask that you take a moment to complete the survey if you are providing such services (whether production or trial basis.) Jordi notes - "The results will be published and updated every month or so - No personal data will be published. (If you know your network, it takes less than 2 minutes to complete it) The survey can be responded even if is not yet a commercial service, and customers can also respond, not just the ISP. However, to avoid duplicate data, make sure to include the country and ISP name.” The IPv6 Residential Deployment Survey may be found here - <http://survey.consulintel.es/index.php/175122> Thanks! /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN

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

Why the internal network delays, Gmail?
by Nate Metheny 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

Help (and hi)! I work in higher education and we've been experiencing problems with Google delaying or queuing email for delivery to our domain. Here's some truncated email headers: ** Example 1: X-Received: by 10.237.55.65 with SMTP id i59mr10986018qtb.62.1472137448952; Thu, 25 Aug 2016 08:04:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: by mail-qt0-f175.google.com with SMTP id u25so27419242qtb.1 for <@***>; Thu, 25 Aug 2016 12:05:46 -0700 (PDT) ** Example 2: X-Received: by 10.36.1.75 with SMTP id 72mr5275579itk.40.1472130531887; Thu, 25 Aug 2016 06:08:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: by mail-it0-f48.google.com with SMTP id x131so289116132ite.0 for <@***>; Thu, 25 Aug 2016 11:50:42 -0700 (PDT) In both of these examples, these emails haven't even left Google's internal network yet; I'm getting blamed for these delays, however there is no delay in receiving these emails after they leave Google's network. Are other people having this same problem? I've tested delivery to my network from many outside sources and all SMTP requests go through without delay; this issue seems be exclusive to Google-hosted and Gmail accounts and domains. -- Nate <natemetheny(a)gmail.com>nate(a)dopedesign.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.

Nobody needs to spoof anything when you've got a zillion fire hoses just lying around where any 13 year old can command them from the TRS 80 in his mom's basement. (I've seen different estimates today. One said there's about a half million of these things, but I think I saw where Dyn itself put the number of unique IPs in the attack at something like ten million.) I just threw out BCP 38 as an example of something *very* minimal that the collective Internet, if it had any brains, would have made de rigueur for everyone ten+ years ago. BCP 38 is something that I personally view as a "no brainer", that is already widely accepted as being necessary, and yet is a critical security step that some (many?) are still resisting. So, it's like "Well, if the Internet-at-large can't even do *this* simple and relatively non-controversial thing, then we haven't got a prayer in hell of ever seeing a world-wide determined push to find and neutralize all of these bloody damn stupid CCTV things. And when the day comes when somebody figures out how to remotely pop a default config Windoze XP box... boy oh boy, will *that* be a fun day... NOT! Because we're not ready. Nobody's ready. Except maybe DoD, and I'm not even taking bets on that one." I didn't intend to focus on BCP 38. Everybody knows that's only one thing, designed to deal with just one part of the overall problem. The overall problem, in my view, is the whole mindset which says "Oh, we just connect the wires. Everything else is somebody else's problem." Ok, so this mailing list is a list of network operators. Swell. Every network operator who can do so, please raise your hand if you have *recently* scanned you own network and if you can -honestly- attest that you have taken all necessary steps to insure that none of the numerous specific types of CCVT thingies that Krebs and others identified weeks or months ago as being fundamentally insecure can emit a single packet out onto the public Internet. And, cue the crickets... Recent events, like the Krebs DDoS and the even bigger OVH DDoS, and today's events make it perfectly clear to even the most blithering of blithering idiots that network operators, en mass, have to start scanning their own networks for insecurities. And you'd all better get on that, not next fiscal year or even next quarter, but right effing now, because the next major event is right around the corner. And remember, *you* may not be scanning your networks for easily pop'able boxes, but as we should all be crystal clear on by now, that *does not* mean that nobody else is doing so. Regards, rfg P.S. The old saying is that idle hands are the devil's playground. In the context of the various post-invasion insurgancies, etc., in Iraq, is is often mentioned that it was a somewhat less than a brilliant move for the U.S. to have disbanded the Iraq army, thereby leaving large numbers of trained young men on the streets with no jobs and nothing to do. To all of the network operators who think that (or argue that) it will be too expensive to hire professionals to come in an do the work to scan your networks for known vulnerabilities, I have a simple suggestion. Go down to your local high school, find the schmuck who teaches the kids about computers, and ask him for the name of his most clever student. Then hire that student and put him to work, scanning your network. As in Iraq, it will be *much* better to have capable young men inside the tent, pissing out, rather than the other way around.

nested prefixes in Internet
by Martin T 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

Hi, let's assume that there is an ISP "A" operating in Europe region who has /19 IPv4 allocation from RIPE. From this /19 they have leased /24 to ISP "B" who is multi-homed. This means that ISP "B" would like to announce this /24 prefix to ISP "A" and also to ISP "C". AFAIK this gives two possibilities: 1) Deaggregate /19 in ISP "A" network and create "inetnum" and "route" objects for all those networks to RIPE database. This means that ISP "A" announces around dozen IPv4 prefixes to Internet except this /24 and ISP "B" announces this specific /24 to Internet. 2) ISP "A" continues to announce this /19 to Internet and at the same time ISP "B" starts to announce /24 to Internet. As this /24 is more-specific than /19, then traffic to hosts in this /24 will end up in ISP "B" network. Which approach is better? To me the second one seems to be better because it keeps the IPv4 routing-table smaller and requires ISP "A" to make no deaggregation related configuration changes. Only bit weird behavior I can see with the second option is that if ISP "B" stops for some reason announcing this /24 network to Internet, then traffic to hosts in this /24 gets to ISP "A" network and is blackholed there. thanks, Martin

Voip faxing
by Samual Carman 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hello if this is not allowed please ignore and inform me that it not allowed however I could think of no better place for this I would like to know why there has not been more wide support of the V.38 or v.17 v.34 or the old style g.711 protocols for faxing over voip Based on my understanding it is an difficult in an IP based environment for faxing to work reliably however based on my understanding V.38 was suppose to fix that however the research I have conducted in regards to the support of these protocols is that there not widely implimted and besides G.711 which was designed for voice that proviso is somewhat implored on a wider scale However I understand faxing is archaic but in some fields it is necessary Thanks Sam Please excuse spelling and grammar as this was typed on my phone Get Outlook for iOS
