Re: Article - "skype killer" carrier grade app filter
by Fred Heutte 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

The cover story of the Economist this week (with a typical dollop of hype called "How the internet killed the phone business") is about Skype and VOIP as a "disruptive technology" (in Clayton Christensen's sense) that is upending the wireline world but is even more of a threat to the mobile/cellular carriers. Skype has only a modest presence in the US now but the worldwide numbers are pretty staggering: Sandvine, a telecoms-equipment firm, estimates that there are 1,100 VOIP providers in America alone. But the trend is worldwide. IDC, a market-research firm, predicts that the number of residential VOIP subscribers in America will grow from 3m at the end of 2005 to 27m by the end of 2009; Japan already has over 8m subscribers today. Worldwide, according to iSuppli, a market-research firm, the number of residential VOIP subscribers will reach 197m by 2010. Even these numbers, however, do not include people using VOIP without subscribing to a service (ie, by downloading free software from Google, Skype or others). Skype alone has 54m users. http://www.economist.com/displaystory.cfm?story_id=4400704 Well, actually projected to have 54 million by December, up from about 15 million at the beginning of the year. These are the growth rates claimed for the net 10 years ago but which we knew were overblown. Of course not all of those "users" go much further than downloading something and maybe trying it out. But obviously the Bell business model is dwindling fast and the life of the network operator only gets more, um, interesting. Fred

It already did. The biggest > impact was the help desks being DDoS'd. Do you mean to imply that it was a router code worm or a normal worm? A "Warhol Worm" in a logically localized area (an AS or three) utilizing router exploitations would be spectacularly fast. scott

IOS worm clarification
by J. Oquendo 20 Sep '05

///////////////////////////////// From: Andrei Mikhailovsky <mlists(a)arhont.com> Reply-To: andrei(a)arhont.com To: ciscoioshehehe(a)yandex.ru Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Cisco IOS hacked? Hello, Being a co-author of the "Hacking Exposed Cisco Networks" book and one of the co-founders of Arhont Ltd an Information Security Company that is doing the research for the book on Cisco Devices I have to make the following comments about the article in SecurityLab.ru: The russian article (http://www.securitylab.ru/news/240415.php) has been badly paraphrased from the livejournal of one of the authors/researchers of the book. As a result of this outrageously inaccurate paraphrasing of the article many confusions and misunderstandings have been circling on the security related sources and mailing lists. Some of the issues addressed in the article are true and Arhont is currently preparing a formal advisory that will be sent to PSIRT. Among the discovered issues are multiple vulnerabilities in EIGRP implementation. Also, authors have addressed the _theoretical_ aspects of an algorithm for cross-platform worm that could spread in IOS based devices. The existence of the practical implementation of such warm is a complete lie. Let me assure that there has been no development nor the desire to develop such code by the authors of the book. The theoretical methodology and algorithms will be also discussed with PSIRT at the appropriate time. In addition, there has been some minor inconsistencies of the livejournal postings that will be soon addressed and edited. If you have any comments on this topic we would be glad to address them. -- Andrei Mikhailovsky Arhont Ltd - Information Security ///////////////////////////////// =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ J.

Article - "skype killer" carrier grade app filter
by Suresh Ramasubramanian 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05

Cites nanog posts and presentations to prove that skype is a bandwidth hog The ceo of this company is apparently ex founder-CTO of NAP of the Americas. --srs -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists(a)gmail.com) [IP] The Inquirer: Anti-Skype software kills IM, P2P too From: David Farber <dave(a)farber.net> To: Ip Ip <ip(a)v2.listbox.com> Date: Mon Sep 19 19:53:14 2005 Begin forwarded message: From: Bob Drzyzgula <bob(a)drzyzgula.org> Date: September 19, 2005 9:47:43 AM EDT To: David Farber <dave(a)farber.net> Cc: Ip Ip <ip(a)v2.listbox.com> Subject: The Inquirer: Anti-Skype software kills IM, P2P too <http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=26255> | Anti-Skype software kills IM, P2P too | Bandwidth bandsaw released | By: Doug Mohney | | Monday 19 September 2005, 07:14 | | LAST WEEK, Verso Technologies (www.verso.com) | announced the rollout of a "carrier-grade applications | filter" that can block so-called bandwidth drains | such as Skype, P2P messaging, streaming media, and | instant messaging. | | Skype is singled out in the headline of the press | release. It's not a P2P blocker, it's a "Skype | Filtering Technology." | | Verso CEO Monty Bannerman, founding CTO of the NAP of | Americas, says service providers are gung-ho about | his new product offering. As a "free" service, | Skype is raiding the business model of service | providers that want to roll out VoIP services for | their customers. "They're all telling me they hate | Skype and they're telling me that they want to do | something about Skype," said Bannerman in a telephone | interview. "If you have something in your network that | is costing you money and raiding your business model, | I assure you you're going to do something about it." | | Bannerman claims that Skype and other P2P applications | were generating up to 30 per cent of existing | network traffic load as of last year according to | presentations at the North American Network Operators | Group (NANOG). Since a revenue-based service provider | isn't making any money off that traffic load, it's | not a good thing, especially if they plan to offer | their own flavor of VoIP to their customer base. Since | making the announcement, Verso has received a number | of phone calls from existing customers as well as | intrigued service providers. | | Could this technology be used to block Vonage | service? "Sure," said Bannerman. "But we wouldn't do | that." Bannerman drew a distinction between the more | heavily US-regulated Vonage and Skype, saying that | they were "different," with Vonage required to provide | E-911 service and abide by other FCC regulations, | while Skype had no such state-side regulation. He | believed he had a shot at selling some of his boxes | to Vonage in order for that company to monitor | traffic flow. | | Figuring how to measure and block Skype has been a | significant challenge, since the application has been | difficult to measure. Verso has spent over a year | and four engineering attempts to develop a platform | capable of detecting, managing, and controlling | Skype. "We are better than anyone else at this moment | in time in detecting Skype and doing something with | it, including turning it off." | | When asked if current FCC rulings and upcoming | American federal legislation to prevent application | blocking of any type would affect selling the | Skype-blocker in the States, Bannerman didn't seem | to be worried. "The World Wide Web isn't just about | America, plunk yourself anywhere else," he said. "This | is a product for the world market," and he pointed | out that there's a patchwork of regulatory schemes | around the globe. µ
