Customers announcing communities to SP of SP
by Jason Lixfeld 20 Sep '16

20 Sep '16

Hi, Consider the following scenario: - Customer A is a customer of SP A - SP A is a customer of SP B - SP B has a traffic engineering community implementation With regards to using BGP communities for TE: - Does SP A write their own community implementation that maps to (some portion of) the community implementation of SP B? - Does SP A write their own community implementation that has no mappings at all to the community implementation of SP B; any TE that is required to be pushed to SP B is done by some dialog and coordination between Customer A and SP A? - Does SP A allow Customer A to announce prefixes tagged with SP B’s communities[1][2] - Is this sort of thing really complicated today, but one of the goals of draft-heitz-idr-large-community? [1] Customer A has knowledge of SP A’s upstream SP B [2] This opens up a can of worms where SP A or SP B implements some communities prefixed with reserved ASes, so we’ll assume that SP A implements some method of allowing communities prefixed with ASes of SP A and SP B only. Thanks!

My experiences were back in the days of washing-machine class disc drives and they were a 4-hour fire-wall away, but I don't remember them being impacted. (I can't believe that I was allowed to conduct a test with them running, but I don't remember shutting them down.) I wonder if orientation mattered--mine were all platters parallel to the floor, I wonder if the damaged ones were parallel to the wave front. > full of hard drives to vibrate – which got transmitted to the read – > write heads of the drives. > > Amazing sort of outage + data loss, and this time the physical > security plant chief gets to write up the RCA. -- "Everybody is a genius.

Re: "Defensive" BGP hijacking?
by Sean Rose 17 Sep '16

17 Sep '16

I know Bryant Townsend (ex staminus employee), Marshal Webb (aka m_nerva, lulzsec informant) and others from backconnect.net performed a similar BGP hijacking against staminus earlier this year. https://bgpstream.com/event/21051 Shortly afterwards, on 10th of march a zine is released leaking the Staminus user database and contents of several customer servers. The times aren't the only interesting factor here, even the format of the release just screams m_nerva. Zines are very rare these days. So rare in fact that the last similar zine before the staminus hack was released in 2013 by HTP, a hacker group m_nerva was loosely affiliated with during it's early days. I *strongly* believe Bryant Townsend and Marshal Webb hacked Staminus and produced the "Fuck 'em all." zine Sean Rose

I'm glad to have been watching through windows. Visibility in the room dropped to zero.

http://motherboard.vice.com/read/a-loud-sound-just-shut-down-a-banks-data-c… Releasing inert gas from fire suppression units that were over pressurized resulted in an extremely loud noise – causing cabinets full of hard drives to vibrate – which got transmitted to the read – write heads of the drives. Amazing sort of outage + data loss, and this time the physical security plant chief gets to write up the RCA. --srs
