13 Jan '11

Dear colleagues, please find below the Call for Papers for RAID'11 (http://raid2011.org/) Apologies for multiple copies of this announcement. Best regards, Guofei Gu Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science & Engineering Texas A&M University -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS RAID 2011 14th International Symposium on Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection September 20-21, 2011 SRI International, Menlo Park, CA http://raid2011.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This symposium, the 14th in an annual series, brings together leading researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to discuss issues and technologies related to intrusion detection and defense. The Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection (RAID) International Symposium series furthers advances in intrusion defense by promoting the exchange of ideas in a broad range of topics. As in previous years, all topics related to intrusion detection, prevention and defense systems and technologies are within scope, including but not limited to the following: * Network and host intrusion detection and prevention * Anomaly and specification-based approaches * IDS cooperation and event correlation * Malware prevention, detection, analysis, containment * Web application security * Insider attack detection * Intrusion response, tolerance, and self-protection * Operational experiences with current approaches * Intrusion detection assessment and benchmarking * Attacks against intrusion detection systems * Formal models, analysis, and standards * Deception systems and honeypots * Vulnerability analysis and forensics * Adversarial machine learning for security * Visualization techniques * High-performance intrusion detection * Legal, social, and privacy issues * Network exfiltration detection * Botnet analysis, detection, and mitigation * Cyber-physical systems Important Dates --------------- Paper submission deadline: Mar 31, 2011 (11:59PM PST) Paper acceptance or rejection: June 2, 2011 Final camera-ready copy: June 16, 2011 Poster submission: June 18, 2011 (11:59PM PST) Poster acceptance or rejection: June 25, 2011 Early Bird registration closes August 1, 2011 Types of Submissions -------------------- * Full papers presenting mature research results or convincing case studies of protecting large operational networks. Papers accepted by the Program Committee will be presented at RAID 2011 and included in the Symposium’s proceedings published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Papers must include an abstract and a list of keywords, and must not exceed 20 pages in total length, formatted in LNCS-style and including the bibliography and any appendices. * Posters describing a work in progress or an innovative idea not yet sufficiently mature for a full paper. Posters are submitted for review in the form of an extended abstract that must likewise be formatted in LNCS-style and not exceed 2 pages in length. Accepted posters will be presented at RAID 2011 in a separate session, and the submitted abstracts will be published on the Symposium’s web site. All submissions (papers and poster abstracts) must be formatted according to the instructions provided by Springer (http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html) and then submitted electronically; details will be provided on the conference web site. Papers must list all authors and their affiliations; RAID does not require anonymized submissions. For accepted papers, at least one of the authors must attend the conference to present the paper. Further questions on the submission process may be sent to the program chairs. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that has already been published elsewhere or is submitted in parallel to a journal or to any other conference or workshop with proceedings. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, and plagiarism constitute dishonesty or fraud. RAID, like other scientific and technical conferences and journals, prohibits these practices and may, on the recommendation of the program chair, take action against authors who have committed them. Student Scholarships -------------------- RAID 2011 will offer student scholarships to reduce symposium attendance costs. Students should visit the web site (http://raid2011.org) to learn about availability of scholarships and application deadlines.

anyone using Netgear GSM7352S-200 ?
by Eugen Leitl 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

This is way offtopic, but I figured this would be a good place to ask. Anyone using Netgear GSM7352S-200 in production? http://www.netgear.com/images/GSM7328Sv2_GSM7352Sv2_23Sept1018-10817.pdf I know, it's Netgear, but how badly does it blow chunks? Inquiring minds, etc. (Disclaimer: I am currently using Netgear and HP ProCurve, and thought to upgrade to Juniper, or at least ProCurve, but have severe budget issues: 6 kEUR for 2x 48-port switches).

IPv6 prefix lengths
by Richard Barnes 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hi all, What IPv6 prefix lengths are people accepting in BGP from peers/customers? My employer just got a /48 allocation from ARIN, and we're trying to figure out how to support multiple end sites out of this (probably around 10). I was thinking about assigning a /56 per site, but looking at the BGP table stats on potaroo.net [1], it looks like this is not too common (only .29% of prefixes). Thoughts? Thanks, --Richard [1] <http://bgp.potaroo.net/v6/as2.0/index.html>

<Help with Content Switching Module for 6500>
by Michael Ruiz 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hello all, I am having very unusual problem with the CSM. This is what my problems. I have my active CSM setup for a Fault Tolerance group with a priority of 100 and an alternate of 30 and set to preempt. Now for some reason I cannot get the standby configure to get the configuration from the Active. I did a debug and it appears the CSM on the standby is deleting it's configuration and the active fails to sends its configuration. So I know the Active is talking across the VLAN I have created for this purpose. I can see the information coming up on my debug from both ends. Below is my configuration. Any help on this is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Re: Routing Suggestions
by james＠jamesstewartsmith.com 13 Jan '11

Since it sounds like there is no alternate path, it sounds like the most secure, simplest to operate would be static routes. It's not sexy, but no need to toss in a routing protocol if it's such a static setup. ------Original Message------ From: Lars Carter To: NANOG(a)NANOG.org Subject: Routing Suggestions Sent: Jan 12, 2011 7:13 PM Hi NANOG list, I have a simple, hypothetical question regarding preferred connectivity methods for you guys that I would like to get the hive mind opinion about. There are two companies, Company A and Company B, that are planning to continuously exchange a large amount of sensitive data and are located in a mutual datacenter. They decide to order a cross connect and peer privately for the obvious reasons. Company A has a small but knowledgable engineering staff and it's network is running BGP as its only routing protocol with multiple transit vendors and a handful of other larger peers. Company B is a smaller shop that is single homed behind one ISP through a default static route, they have hardware that can handle advanced routing protocols but have not had the need to implement them as of yet. There is a single prefix on both sides that will need to be routed to the other party. It is rare that prefixes would need to change or for additional prefixes to be added. >From an technical, operational, and security standpoint what would be the preferred way to route traffic between these two networks? Cheers, Lars Sent from my “contract free” BlackBerry® smartphone on the WIND network.

TeliaSonera US contact?
by George Bonser 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Does anyone have a (preferably sales) contact with TeliaSonera in the US? I have been trying to get someone to speak to me about a product of theirs (have exchanged email but can't get them on the phone). It might be the time difference with Europe making things difficult so I am wondering if someone might have a contact in North America. Thanks. G
