Hijack Factories: AS203418, AS205944, and AS203040
by Ronald F. Guilmette 29 Aug '17

29 Aug '17

Executive Summary: AS203418 (Marketigames, LLC), together with its one and only immediate IPv4 upstream, AS203040 (Mint Company, LLC), and its sister network, AS205944 (MediaClick, LLC) either are currently hijacking or have recently hijacked multiple abandoned /16 IPv4 address blocks, apparently with the intent of leasing out this hijacked IPv4 space to snowshoe spammers, in particular, to Clickjet Media (clickjetmedia.com) Readers who may be peering with AS203040, in particular, are encouraged to cease doing so. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_ I believe that this listing of 13 separate /16 routes makes it self-evident what is going on here: https://bgp.he.net/AS203418#_prefixes (Please note that a screenshot of the above page has been archived here for posterity: http://i.imgur.com/Ws2aKkz.png) The hijacks currently being perpetrated by this ASN (AS203418 - Marketigames, LLC) are, in my opinion, both brazen and audacious. I wouldn't mind, but other evidence indicates persuasively that at least one of these hijacked /16 blocks (140.167.0.0/16) has already been put into use as a snowshoe spamming source. The following file contains a listing of numerous domain names that currently have associated SPF TXT records permitting these domains to send outbound emails from various parts of the (hijacked) 140.167.0.0/16 block: https://pastebin.com/raw/0EjThpR8 It is also interesting that a great many of the domain names listed in the above file in fact resolve to the IPv4 address 216.128.69.220, which is within a /24 block (216.128.69.0/24) which is ostensibly registered to an entity calling itself "Big Hosting Plus" (aka bighostingplus.com) allegedly of Albuquerque, New Mexico. A brief perusal of the WHOIS record associated with the contact domain name for that IPv4 block (bighostingplus.com) shows however the identity of the party that is actually pulling the strings here, i.e. a company called Clickjet Media of Glendale, California, aka clickjetmedia.com: https://pastebin.com/raw/h9cuGSdK I should note that the ARIN sub-SWIP for the 216.128.69.0/24 block is not the only instance in which Clickjet Media has followed this exact same playbook. I have previously identified the following four additional fradulent ARIN sub-SWIPs where ClickJet Media is, evidently, the real entity behind the deliberately fictitious ARIN sub-SWIPs: High Point Host ARB-69-1-227-0 (NET-69-1-227-0-1) 69.1.227.0 - 69.1.227.255 Pleasant Hosting ARB-69-1-228-0 (NET-69-1-228-0-1) 69.1.228.0 - 69.1.228.255 Quasi Hosting ARB-69-1-254-0 (NET-69-1-254-0-1) 69.1.254.0 - 69.1.254.255 Green River Hosting ARB-69-1-255-0 (NET-69-1-255-0-1) 69.1.255.0 - 69.1.255.255 Here is the archived evidence supporting my contentions as they relate to the above four ARIN sub-SWIPs: ARIN sub-SWIP records: https://pastebin.com/raw/UDBQKDiC https://pastebin.com/raw/hpDUqLFF https://pastebin.com/raw/7zdZLw01 https://pastebin.com/raw/gvXNwbJW Associated domain WHOIS records: https://pastebin.com/raw/pHLGRJux (highpointhost.com) https://pastebin.com/raw/V91DTsX1 (pleasanthosting.com) https://pastebin.com/raw/SxqzQy2v (quasihosting.com) https://pastebin.com/raw/2qv5xDsE (greenriverhosting.com) I should note for the sake of completeness that the listing of the 13 hijacked /16 blocks linked to above, as currently presented on the bgp.he.net web site, is in fact a somewhat stale listing. All of those thirteen /16 blocks were in fact hijacked by AS203418 as of yesterday, however as of this writing, it would appear that only the following nine /16 blocks are still hijacked at this moment (although this is hardly a cause for celebration): 116.79.0.0/16 116.144.0.0/16 116.152.0.0/16 116.166.0.0/16 116.181.0.0/16 128.13.0.0/16 134.22.0.0/16 140.167.0.0/16 148.154.0.0/16 Naturally, readers will ask "Who or what is AS203418?" It is registered using the name Marketigames, LLC, which is apparently a properly registered Delaware LLC. Beyond that it is difficult to find any other definitive info. The main web site for this entity (http://marketigames.biz/) is mostly devoid of any information that would allow us to know who is really behind this entity. Contact information is provided on the web site however, as follows: MarketiGames LLC, 4283 Express Lane,Suite 315-592, Sarasota, FL 34238 Phone : 217-717-9384 Googling the street address indicates that it is most often associated with fradulent activity on the Internet (e.g. frudulent attempts to order products). The area code 217 is associated with the Chicago area, not Florida and not Delaware. Although this entity (MarketiGames) does have its own ASN, it also appears to have a number of valid ARIN IP block allocations which are not currently routed by its own ASN: 104.218.224.0/22 (NET-104-218-224-0-1) 104.244.88.0/21 (NET-104-244-88-0-1) 104.245.40.0/21 (NET-104-245-40-0-1) 104.245.248.0/21 (NET-104-245-248-0-1) 173.234.197.0/24 (NET-173-234-197-0-1) 2620:125:C000::/40 (NET6-2620-125-C000-1) Historical passive DNS data appears to indicate that some or all of the above blocks have historically also been used to support snowshoe spamming. Data available from the interactive RIPE Routing History web service indicates clearly that it is not only AS203418 (Marketigames, LLC) that has been involved in the hijacking of abandoned /16 blocks, but also and likewise its immediate upstream AS203040 (Mint Company, LLC), and its sister network, AS205944 (MediaClick, LLC). RIPE Routing History shows that all three of these ASNs have, at various times, hijacked the 116.79.0.0/16 block, for example. The implication seems clear. All three of these ASNs have been working together to hijack abandoned /16 blocks for purposes of hosting snowshoe spamming operations. Because both AS203418 and AS205944 only peer with AS203040 (Mint Company, LLC) it is evident that the real problem here is Mint Company, LLC and the peering its ASN (AS203040) currently enjoys. Data provided by bgp.he.net indicates that the top three peers of AS203040 are currently as follows: AS24785 Open Peering B.V. AS20562 Open Peering B.V. AS6939 Hurricane Electric, Inc. I will be contacting these companies and asking them to de-peer from AS203040. I make the same request, here and now, to all other networks that may be peering with AS203040. Please stop that peering. Regards, rfg

MPLS Usage Survey
by Benoit Donnet 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

Dear all, At the Université de Liège (Belgium) and Université de Strasbourg (France), we are heavily working on measuring MPLS networks for a few years now (you can have a look at all our contributions here: http://montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~bdonnet/mpls/) In order to validate our techniques and get a better vision on how MPLS is actually used and deployed by operators, we have created a little survey. The answers to questions are straightforward (mostly binary answers and multiple choices) and completing the whole survey should take, roughly, 3 minutes. We would be very happy if you, guys, could take 3 minutes to complete the survey. The link towards the survey is the following: https://goo.gl/forms/9CUDnksbfLBbiltz2 <https://goo.gl/forms/9CUDnksbfLBbiltz2> Please, note that we do not ask you to validate our dataset (this might come later — that’s why the last question is about the contact email address), we are now interested in the big picture (do you deploy MPLS? MPLS usage? Labelling protocol? etc.). We will, obviously, post process the survey result but answers will always be anonymous when publishing the results (in scientific papers) If you need further information and/or would like to discuss our work, do not hesitate to contact one of us (see the contact page on the 1st link above or the CCs of this email) Thanks in advance Keep on Rockin’ Benoit — Prof. Benoit Donnet Université de Liège (ULg) Bât.

Comparing Backbone providers from support POV
by Bassem Fawzi 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

Hello All, This is Bassem and this is my first participation in nanog. We are planning to get a new 10G circuit and we are comparing the IPT service of three backbone providers that met our technical and financial requirements, Now to take all aspects into consideration we need to compare them from the support point of view. The three providers are NTT,GTT and Telia so if any one have dealt with them before and can help us rate their support it would be Great. Many thanks. -- Best regards, Bassem Fawzy Network engineer – Core Team City Stars Capital 5 A4 Omar Ibn El Khattab St. Heliopolis, Cairo, Egypt Mobile GSM: +2 01006580139 Land Line: +2 02 16700 EXT:139 FAX: +2 02 37482816 Email: bfawzi(a)noor.net

by Benno Overeinder 25 Aug '17

25 Aug '17

Colleagues, A list of currently accepted RIPE 75 presentations is now published at: https://ripe75.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/draft-programme/ There are still plenary, BoF, tutorial and workshop slots remaining for the final RIPE 75 programme and RIPE Programme Committee will accept new proposals until *6 September 2017*. This is our last call for you to submit your proposals. You can find the CFP for RIPE 75 below or at https://ripe75.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/, for your proposals for plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) and lightning talks. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings. Update to UAE DTCM requirments: It is now confirmed that a photocopy of speakers' passports is *not* required. Non-UAE/international speakers need only to provide: * Passport number * Date of birth * A short biography (at least 60 words) Residents of the UAE are required to upload a copy of their Emirates ID (in jpeg format). More details are available here: https://ripe75.ripe.net/attend/dctm-requirements Kind regards, Benno Overeinder RIPE PC Chair https://ripe75.ripe.net/ripe-pc/ -------------------->>><<<-------------------- Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 75 will take place from 22-26 October in Dubai, UAE. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 75. See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats, https://ripe75.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/. Proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than *6 September 2017*. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity - Data centre technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange - Connected Things (aka. Internet of Things - IoT) Speakers Due to UAE law, confirmed Non-UAE/international speakers need to provide: * Passport number * Date of birth * A short biography (at least 60 words) Residents of the UAE are required to upload a copy of their Emirates ID (in jpeg format). More details are available here: https://ripe75.ripe.net/attend/dctm-requirements Please also note that speakers do not receive any discount or funding towards the meeting fee at RIPE Meetings. Submissions RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration. Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. In general, the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows: - Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes discussion - Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning) - Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday morning) - BoFs: approximately one hour - Lightning talks: 10 minutes total for both presentation and any discussion The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe75.ripe.net/submit-topic/ - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe75.ripe.net/submit-topic/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice, in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot allocated. - Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. - All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panellists, presenters and moderators. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. -- Benno J. Overeinder NLnet Labs http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/

AS29073, 196.16.0.0/14, Level3: Why does anyone peer with these schmucks?
by Ronald F. Guilmette 25 Aug '17

25 Aug '17

Sorry for the re-post, but it has been brought to my attention that my inclusion, in my prior posting, of various unsavory FQDNs resolving to various IPv4 addresses on AS29073 has triggered some people's spam filters. (Can't imagine why. :-) So I am re-posting this message now, with just a link to where those shady FQDNs and their current forward resolutions may be found. (I also took the opportunity to clean up some minor typos.) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I think that this is primarily Level3's problem to fix. But you be the judge. Please, read on. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_ Over the weekend, I stumbled upon an interesting blog calld "Bad Packets", where a fellow named Troy has written about various unsavory goings on involving various newtorks. One network that he called out in particular was AS29073, formerly called "Ecatel". on his blog, this fellow Troy has noted at length some break-in attempts originating from AS29073 and his inability to get anyone, in particular RIPE NCC, to give a damn. https://badpackets.net/the-master-needler-80-82-65-66/ https://badpackets.net/a-conversation-with-ripe-ncc-regarding-quasi-network… https://badpackets.net/quasi-networks-responds-as-we-witness-the-death-of-t… The fact that RIPE NCC declined to accept the role of The Internet Police didn't surprise me at all... they never have and probably never will. But I decided to have a quick look at what this newtork was routing, at present, which can be easily see here: http://bgp.he.net/AS29073#_prefixes So I was looking through the announced routes for AS29073, and it all looked pretty normal... a /24 block, check, a /24 block, check, a /21 block check... another /24 block, and then ... WAIT A SECOND! HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! WHAT'S THIS??? 196.16.0.0/14 !!! So how does a little two-bit network with a rather dubious reputation and a grand total of only about a /19 to its name suddenly come to be routing an entire /14 block?? And of course, its a legacy (abandoned) Afrinic block. And of course, there's no reverse DNS for any of it, because there is no valid delegation for the reverse DNS for any of it... usually a good sign that whoever is routing the block right now -does not- have legit rights to do so. (If they did, then they would have presented their LOAs or whatever to Afrinic and thus gotten the reverse DNS properly delegated to their own name servers.) I've seen this movie before. You all have. This gives every indication of being just another sad chapter in the ongoing mass pillaging of unused Afrinic legacy IPv4 space, by various actors with evil intent. I've already documented this hightly unfortunate fad right here on multiple occasions: https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2016-November/089232.html https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2017-August/091821.html This incident is a bit different from the others however, in that it -does not- appear that the 196.16.0.0/14 block has been filed to the brim with snowshoe spammers. Well, not yet anyway. But if in fact the stories are correct, and if AS29073 does indeed have a history of hosting outbound hacking activities, then the mind reels when thinking about how much mischief such bad actors could get into if given an entire /14 to play with. (And by the way, this is a new world's record I think, for largest single-route deliberate hijack. I've seen plenty of /16s go walkabout before, and even a whole /15. But an entire /14?!?! That is uniquely brazen.) In addition to the above, and the points raised within the Bad Packets blog (see links above) I found, via passive DNS, a number of other causes for concern about AS29073, to wit: Shady FQDNs (incl possible child porn ones) on AS29073 moved here: https://pastebin.com/raw/f4M09UKL (In addition to the above, I've also found plenty more domain names associated with AS29073 which incorporate the names "Apple" "AirBnB", "Facebook", and "Groupon", as well as dozens of other legitimate companies and organizations.) I confess that I have not had the time to look at any of the web sites that may or may not be associated with any of the above FQDNs, but the domain names themselves are certainly strongly suggestive of (a) the possible hosting of child porn and also and separately (b) the possible hosting of phishing sites. So, given the history of this network (as is well documented on the Bad Packets blog) and given all of the above, and given what would appear to be the unauthorized "liberation" of the entire 196.16.0.0/14 block by AS29073, one cannot help but wonder: Why does anybody still even peer with these jerks? The always helpful and informative web site bgp.he.net indicates that very nearly 50% of the connectivity currently enjoyed by AS29073 is being provided to them by Level3. I would thus like to ask Level3 to reconsider that peering arrangement in light of the above facts, and especially in light of what would appear to be the unauthorized routing of the 196.16.0.0/14 block by AS29073. Surprisingly, given its history, AS29073 apparently has a total of 99 different peers, at present, and I would likewise ask all of them to reconsider their current peering arrangements with this network. I am listing all 99 peers below. Before I get to that however, I'd like to also note that there currently exists, within the RIPE Routing Registry, the following route object: route: 196.16.0.0/14 origin: AS29073 mnt-by: QUASINETWORKS-MNT mnt-by: EC42500-MNT mnt-routes: EC42500-MNT mnt-routes: M247-EU-MNT created: 2017-03-28T21:47:03Z last-modified: 2017-08-11T19:58:39Z source: RIPE I confess that I am not 100% sure of the exact semantics of the "mnt-routes" tag, but it would appear from the above that the UK's M247 network (AS9009)... which itself is not even peering with AS29073... appears to have, in effect countersigned the above RIPE route object, vouching for its correctness and authenticity as they did so. Why they would have done that, especially given that they themselves are not even peering with AS29073, is, I confess, beyond me. But I would love to have them explain it, or even try to explain it. It's enigmatic, to say the least. Anyway, the "created" date in the above record seems to be consistant with that actual start of the announcement of 196.16.0.0/14 by AS29073, which the RIPE Routing History tool says occured sometime in March of this year. One additional (and rather bizzare) footnote to this whole story about the 196.16.0.0/14 block has to do with the entity that allegedly -is- the current rightful owner of the block (as far as Afrinic is concerned). That entity is designated by the Afrinic handle ORG-IA41-AFRINIC and that in turn has an admin-c and tech-c of NAIT1-AFRINIC. The record for that handle is as follows: ------------------------------------------------------- person: Network and Information Technology Administrator address: Unit 117, Orion Mall, Palm Street address: Victoria, Mahe address: Seychelles (SC) phone: +972-54-2203545 e-mail: info(a)networkandinformationtechnology.com nic-hdl: NAIT1-AFRINIC mnt-by: MNT-NETWORKANDINFORMATIONTECHNOLOGY changed: info(a)networkandinformationtechnology.com 20150725 source: AFRINIC ------------------------------------------------------- Upon fetching the current WHOIS record for networkandinformationtechnology.com I found it more than passing strange that all of the contact details therein are associated *not* with anything in Africa, nor even anything in the home country of AS29073 (Netherlands) but rather, the address and phone numbers therein all appear to be ones associated with a relatively well known Internet attorney in Santa Monica, Califiornia by the name of Bennet Kelly. As it happens, in the distant past (about 10 years ago) I personally crossed swords with this particular fellow. He may be a lot of things, but it never seemed to me that stupid was one of them. And indeed the domain name networkandinformationtechnology.com and all of its connections to the 196.16.0.0/14 block appear to date from 2015... long before AS29073 started routing this block (which only started in March of this year). So, my best guess about this whole confusing mess is that the -original- legitimate owners of the 196.16.0.0/14 block most probably sold it on, in a legitimate transaction, to some other party in 2015, where that other party was/is represented by Mr. Bennet Kelly, Esq. And my guess is that neither he nor the new owners, who he represents, even know that their expensive /14 has gone walkabout, as of March of this year.

How can I obtain the abuse e-mail address for IPs from Japan?
by Kurt Kraut 25 Aug '17

25 Aug '17

Hello, I'm having a hard time to figure out the abuse e-mail address for IPs from Japan. Any query I perform at the WHOIS, for any IP, from any autonomoyus system I get the same e-mail addresses: abuse(a)apnic.net hm-changed(a)apnic.net ip-apnic(a)nic.ad.jp hostmaster(a)nic.ad.jp These e-mail addresses belong to JPNIC, not the autonomous system itself. So any messages sent to these e-mail addresses will not reach the offending NOC/SOC so I can report vulnerabilities and DDoS attacks. What am I missing and how should I report security issues to autonomous systems from this region? Has anyone here any experience on this? Thanks in advance, Kurt Kraut

Creating a Circuit ID Format
by Colton Conor 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

We are building a new fiber network, and need help creating a circuit ID format to for new fiber circuits. Is there a guide or standard for fiber circuit formats? Does the circuit ID change when say a customer upgrades for 100Mbps to 1Gbps port? What do the larger carriers do? Any advice on creating a circuit ID format for a brand new fiber network? Originally we ran a CLEC using a LECs copper, and our circuit ID was historically a telephone number for DSL circuits. The ILEC had a complex method for assigning circuit IDs. I am sure anything will work as long as you keep track of it, but any advice would be great!

Last Week's Canadian Fiber Cut
by Rod Beck 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Did we ever get any resolution on why this was such a big outage? Appears there were two fiber cuts. Were the fibers damaged in the same conduit? Is this a collapsed ring scenario? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/concerns-about-backup-b… Roderick Beck Director of Global Sales United Cable Company DRG Undersea Consulting Affiliate Member www.unitedcablecompany.com<http://www.unitedcablecompany.com> 85 Király utca, 1077 Budapest rod.beck(a)unitedcablecompany.com 36-30-859-5144 [1467221477350_image005.png]

Cogent Chicago
by Mike Hammett 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

I'm looking for someone knowledgeable as to how some of their datacenter POPs interconnect. Trying to determine what level of diversity other than POP location there are between two datacenters. Cogent staff is fine, maybe even preferred. Unsurprisingly, the sales person I talked to wasn't incredibly useful. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP
