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

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

Providing geofeed info to Google
by Hugo Slabbert 18 Sep '23

18 Sep '23

Google folks: I see historical reference to needing to use the Google Peering Portal ( http://peering.google.com) if you need to provide Google with geofeed info for GeoIP info on network blocks, ref https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2015-May/075229.html. Is that still the case? Are there any avenues to provide Google with geofeed info if you're *not* currently peering with 15169? Or to get access to just the geofeed update portion of the Peering Portal? -- Hugo Slabbert

Soliciting suggestions and experiences from the community for RPKI-invalid filtering deployment
by Lancheng Qin 24 Aug '23

24 Aug '23

Hello, we have done a worldwide measurement to identify which ASes have propagated RPKI-invalid prefixes. We find an interesting phenomenon that some ASes may perform RPKI-invalid filtering only at partial interfaces (e.g., provider interfaces, customer interfaces, and peer interfaces). Although there are other studies [1, 2] noting the same phenomenon, little is known about why some network operators perform different filtering policies at different interfaces. We are trying to figure out the reasons and summarize the optimal deployment policy for RPKI-invalid filtering. To this end, we create an anonymous questionnaire and hope you can help fill out it. Questionnaire link: https://qfreeaccountssjc1.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/preview/previewId/70bbaf01-… Reference: [1] Help Validate ROV Adoption Measurements from RoVista. https://labs.ripe.net/author/tijay-chung/help-validate-rov-adoption-measure… [2] 85% of MANRS Members Conformant to Actions 1 and 4. https://www.manrs.org/2023/01/85-of-manrs-members-conformant/ If you have any questions, concerns, issues, or comments, please send an email to qlc19(a)mails.tsinghua.edu.cn Best, Lancheng
