I know this is not the proper place to advertise, but in this situation I hope all of you can understand. This list is a great tool to get information out to the core of the communications industry. I would be foolish not to tap it as a resource for assistance in this disaster. Feel free to kick me off if you need to. I have worked in the communications industry for aprox. 13 years. I know what people in this industry can do when they combine their talents. I am running the communications for a non-profit organization in Johnson Bayou Louisiana. (Please feel free to verify) I ask that you visit www.itcouldhavebeenus.com and help me spread the word. My home is only 1 mile from the Gulf of Mexico and only 200mi from New Orleans. The tragedy that the people of New Orleans are dealing with is one that I or my children WILL have to face at some point. The people of Cameron Parish Louisiana are trying to help in any way possible. Since last Tuesday I and several others working in our relief effort have tried reaching the Federal and State resources that our tax dollars pay for. I'm sure it will not surprise you to know that we have yet to reach ANYONE that can give us REAL help! Organizations like ours are towing the line for these political do nothings. I understand that they have their hands full, but it isn't helping us take care of the 300 plus evacuees we are helping. (More coming) This disaster will take years to manage. I ask that you please help me reach others that can help us. Thank you. Tracey Webb 337-56902915

3 men die in weekend crashes

This story was sent to you by: Fergie (Paul Ferguson) -------------------- 3 men die in weekend crashes -------------------- Separate accidents kill motorcyclist going to celebrate birthday, one riding with friend, and 'sweet, loving' son BY CHRISTINE ARMARIO STAFF WRITER September 5, 2005 Donald Schober would have been celebrating his 24th birthday yesterday, but he was being mourned by friends and family instead. The Medford man was one of three men to die in motorcycle or car accidents in Nassau and Suffolk during the Labor Day weekend. Schober was just a few minutes from home after visiting friends Friday evening when his 2001 Suzuki motorcycle, traveling westbound on Barton Avenue, collided with a 1990 Honda sedan trying to turn left onto Tremont Avenue. He was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 6 p.m. Police said the speed of Schober's motorcycle may have been a factor in the accident and that the driver of the Honda, Michael Laskaris, of Selden, said he did not see Schober's bike as he turned. Schober, a broker at ABG Services Inc. in Holbrook, was going to spend his birthday celebrating with a night out with friends, who instead gathered yesterday at his wake. His godmother, Maria Ball, said some of them had painted the words "We ride together, we die together" on the back windows of their cars and trucks. "He's going to be fully surrounded by the biggest birthday he ever had," Ball said tearfully over the phone. She said Schober had been riding motorcycles since he was 17 and had just bought the Suzuki bike two months ago after a year of saving. A second motorcyclist was killed yesterday in Wantagh. Michael Benedetto, 37, of Lindenhurst, was riding a motorcycle with a friend on Sunrise Highway when he lost control of his vehicle near Wantagh Avenue and hit a parked car by the Lighthouse Diner at 2:40 a.m., police said. "I kept on riding about half a mile, realized he wasn't behind me, made a U-turn, and saw a bunch of people around a parked vehicle," said Peter Scifo, the friend. "I thought he was unconscious with a broken arm." Benedetto was transported to Nassau University Medical Center, where he died at 3:32 a.m., police said. Scifo said Benedetto was a former Marine who had served in Desert Storm and was employed as a mechanic at a Copiague fence company. He is survived by three sisters, a brother and his mother, Scifo said. "He was just a great guy," Scifo said. "Loved his family, loved his friends, always smiling and happy." Earlier yesterday, Adam Fraier, a 27-year-old Cedarhurst man, was killed when his 2002 Nissan hit a telephone pole on Edwards Avenue in Calverton and flipped over on its roof, police said. Fraier was transported to Central Suffolk Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 1:12 a.m. His father, Mark Fraier, said his son was returning from the house of a work colleague when he lost control of the car. His son was a University of Albany graduate who worked as a mortgage broker for Premium Capital Funding in Jericho, he said. "Sweet, loving," he said, describing his son. "He was a loving son and grandson that will be sorely missed."

SWIP and Rwhois in the Real World
by Crist Clark 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

As best I can tell from ARIN documents, ISP still are supposed to SWIP or use Rwhois for subassignments of /29 and greater. However, is this still widely practiced these days? Especially among smaller ISPs? I know the privacy pros and cons, so I don't seek to start those threads again. I'm interested in what smaller ISPs are actually doing these days. Thanks. -- Crist J.

Yahoo! -- A "Phisher-friendly" hosting domain?
by Fergie (Paul Ferguson) 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

This would probably be better posted to NSP-SEC, but since I'm not subscribed (and have tried at least once), I'll share it here. For what it's worth, I'm involved in several security and anti-malware, anti-botnet, etc. group efforts, and I personally think that this particlar situation has gained enough "badness" status as to warrant wider public disclosure. A colleague alerted me to this earlier today (with permission to reprint): [snip] My attention was drawn earlier today to yet another phishing site on Yahoo! - we're already finding extreme porn and other disreputable sites moving there now that their "abuse dept" has been dismantled and reassembled in Oregon, apparently with all staff-under-training. But it caught my eye that SOMEBODY at Yahoo! ought to be reviewing domain names like "bankofthewestupdate.com" when they are set up on their servers, if only for reasons of due diligence ... otherwise Bank of the West might possibly have grounds for a lawsuit against Yahoo! ? Have any banks ever threatened to litigate against ISPs? If ever there was an incident calling out to be made a test case ... [snip] Details can be found here: http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/sbl.lasso?query=SBL31214 Also: [snip] The fact that very many phishers, 419s, and spamming pornographers are flocking to Yahoo is the result of changes that Yahoo have made to their abuse processing. Also, as they run ClamAV on all mail to their "new" abuse desk in Oregon, any reports to them that contain evidence of phishing incidents are automatically rejected by the ClamAV filtering - so it is difficult to know exactly HOW Yahoo! could have been expected to take action on these cases. (Yahoo! have been told about the situation by several respected individuals but from the reactions it seems that they do not care.) [snip] A more interesting link can be found here: http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/listings.lasso?isp=yahoo.com This is somewhat disturbing. - ferg -- "Fergie", a.k.a.

Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and Telnet Sessions Buffer Overflow
by Cisco Systems Product Security Incident Response Team 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Cisco Security Advisory: ======================== Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and Telnet Sessions Buffer Overflow =================================================================================== Revision 1.0 For Public Release 2005 September 7 1600 UTC (GMT) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Contents ======== Summary Affected Products Details Impact Software Versions and Fixes Obtaining Fixed Software Workarounds Exploitation and Public Announcements Status of This Notice: FINAL Distribution Revision History Cisco Security Procedures - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary ======= The Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet Sessions feature in specific versions of Cisco IOS software is vulnerable to a remotely-exploitable buffer overflow condition. Devices that do not support, or are not configured for Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet Services are not affected. Devices configured with only Authentication Proxy for HTTP and/or HTTPS are not affected. Only devices running certain versions of Cisco IOS are affected. Cisco has made free software available to address this vulnerability. There are workarounds available to mitigate the effects of the vulnerability. This advisory is available at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20050907-auth_proxy.shtml. Affected Products ================= Vulnerable Products +------------------ Devices that are running the following release trains of Cisco IOS are affected if Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet Sessions is configured and applied to an active interface. * 12.2ZH and 12.2ZL based trains * 12.3 based trains * 12.3T based trains * 12.4 based trains * 12.4T based trains To determine the software running on a Cisco product, log in to the device and issue the show version command to display the system banner. Cisco IOS software will identify itself as "Internetwork Operating System Software" or simply "IOS." On the next line of output, the image name will be displayed between parentheses, followed by "Version" and the Cisco IOS release name. Other Cisco devices will not have the show version command, or will give different output. The following example identifies a Cisco 7200 router running Cisco IOS release 12.3(10a) with an installed image name of C7200-JK8O3S-M. Router#show version Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software IOS (tm) 7200 Software (C7200-JK8O3S-M), Version 12.3(10a), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2) Copyright (c) 1986-2004 by cisco Systems, Inc. Additional information about Cisco IOS release naming can be found at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/620/1.html. Refer to the Details section for more information about affected and unaffected configurations. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- * Products that are not running Cisco IOS are not affected * Products that are running Cisco IOS versions 12.2 and earlier (including 12.0S) are not affected. (excluding 12.2ZH and 12.2ZL) * Products that are running Cisco IOS are not affected unless they are configured for Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet Sessions. * Products that are running Cisco IOS XR are not affected. No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this vulnerability. Details ======= The Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy feature allows network administrators to apply specific security policies on a per-user basis. With the Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet Sessions feature, users can log into the network services via FTP and/or Telnet, and their specific access profiles are automatically retrieved and applied from a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS), or Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus (TACACS+) authentication server. Cisco IOS Software is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) and potentially an arbitrary code execution attack when processing the user authentication credentials from an Authentication Proxy Telnet/FTP session. To exploit this vulnerability an attacker must first complete a TCP connection to the IOS device running affected software and receive an auth-proxy authentication prompt. This vulnerability is documented in the Cisco Bug Toolkit as Bug ID CSCsa54608 (registered customers only) To determine if your device is running Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet Sessions feature, log into the device and issue the show ip auth-proxy configuration command to display the configuration of Firewall Authentication Proxy services. The following example identifies Firewall Authentication Proxy services running for Telnet and FTP under the proxy rule name proxy_example. Router#show ip auth-proxy configuration Authentication global cache time is 60 minutes Authentication global absolute time is 0 minutes Authentication Proxy Watch-list is disabled Authentication Proxy Rule Configuration Auth-proxy name proxy_example ftp list not specified auth-cache-time 60 minutes telnet list not specified auth-cache-time 60 minutes The following will be seen if Firewall Authentication Proxy services are not enabled but supported in your IOS version: Router#show ip auth-proxy configuration Authentication global cache time is 60 minutes Authentication global absolute time is 0 minutes Authentication Proxy Watch-list is disabled Router# The following will be seen if running a version of IOS that does not support Firewall Authentication Proxy services: Router#show ip auth-proxy configuration ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker. Router# A router that has Firewall Authentication Proxy services assigned to an interface will have ip auth-proxy <list name> command under an interface in the show running-config output. The following example identifies Firewall Authentication Proxy services running under the proxy rule name "proxy_example" applied to the interface Ethernet 2/1: Router#show ip auth-proxy configuration Authentication global cache time is 60 minutes Authentication global absolute time is 0 minutes Authentication Proxy Watch-list is disabled Authentication Proxy Rule Configuration Auth-proxy name proxy_example ftp list not specified auth-cache-time 60 minutes telnet list not specified auth-cache-time 60 minutes Router#show running-config ! ! ! interface Ethernet2/1 ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 ip auth-proxy proxy_example ! ! ! Additional information about Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy services refer to: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/120newft/12…. Additional information about Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet Sessions refer to: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123newft/12… Impact ====== Successful exploitation of the vulnerability on Cisco IOS may result in a reload of the device or execution of arbitrary code. Repeated exploitation could result in a sustained DoS attack or execution of arbitrary code on Cisco IOS devices. Software Versions and Fixes =========================== When considering software upgrades, please also consult http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_advisories_listing.ht… and any subsequent advisories to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution. In all cases, customers should exercise caution to be certain the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center ("TAC") for assistance. Each row of the Cisco IOS software table (below) describes a release train and the platforms or products for which it is intended. If a given release train is vulnerable, then the earliest possible releases that contain the fix (the "First Fixed Release") and the anticipated date of availability for each are listed in the "Rebuild" and "Maintenance" columns. A device running a release in the given train that is earlier than the release in a specific column (less than the First Fixed Release) is known to be vulnerable. The release should be upgraded at least to the indicated release or a later version (greater than or equal to the First Fixed Release label).

For most customers, this means that upgrades should be obtained through the Software Center on Cisco's worldwide website at http://www.cisco.com. Customers using Third-party Support Organizations +------------------------------------------------ Customers whose Cisco products are provided or maintained through prior or existing agreement with third-party support organizations such as Cisco Partners, authorized resellers, or service providers should contact that support organization for assistance with the upgrade, which should be free of charge. Customers without Service Contracts +---------------------------------- Customers who purchase direct from Cisco but who do not hold a Cisco service contract and customers who purchase through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful at obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should get their upgrades by contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). TAC contacts are as follows. * +1 800 553 2447 (toll free from within North America) * +1 408 526 7209 (toll call from anywhere in the world) * e-mail: tac(a)cisco.com Please have your product serial number available and give the URL of this notice as evidence of your entitlement to a free upgrade. Free upgrades for non-contract customers must be requested through the TAC. Please do not contact either "psirt(a)cisco.com" or "security-alert(a)cisco.com" for software upgrades. See http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml for additional TAC contact information, including special localized telephone numbers and instructions and e-mail addresses for use in various languages. Customers may only install and expect support for the feature sets they have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to be bound by the terms of Cisco's software license terms found at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-license-agreement.html, or as otherwise set forth at Cisco.com Downloads at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml. Workarounds =========== The effectiveness of any workaround is dependent on specific customer situations such as product mix, network topology, traffic behavior, and organizational mission. Due to the variety of affected products and releases, customers should consult with their service provider or support organization to ensure any applied workaround is the most appropriate for use in the intended network before it is deployed. Disable Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy feature for Telnet/FTP sessions +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In networks where Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy feature for Telnet/FTP sessions is not required but enabled, disabling the feature on an IOS device will eliminate exposure to this vulnerability. On a router which is configured for Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy feature for Telnet/FTP sessions, this must be done by issuing the command: "no ip auth-proxy name 'auth-proxy-name' {ftp | telnet}" Deploy Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy feature for HTTP/HTTPS sessions +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Configure the device with Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy feature for HTTP and/or HTTPS sessions and allow the Telnet and FTP services within the per-user TACACS+/RADIUS profile. Disable Authentication proxy for Telnet/FTP sessions to eliminate exposure. An example of the configuration statements for HTTP session Auth-proxy is: ! Configure auth-proxy for http session authentication ip auth-proxy name http-proxy http ! Configure the router's web server to service auth-proxy authentication attempts ip http server ! Set the HTTP server authentication method to AAA ip http authentication aaa Additional auth-proxy and web server configuration settings are available. For details see: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/120newft/12… After successful authentication via HTTP/HTTPS, the user can initiate required FTP or Telnet sessions. The example shown below for Cisco Secure Windows (TACACS+) server profile Group setting allows FTP and Telnet as part of access-list entry proxyacl#2=permit tcp any any priv-lvl=15 proxyacl#1=permit icmp any any proxyacl#2=permit tcp any any proxyacl#3=permit udp any any Mitigations =========== Not all of the mitigation strategies listed will work for all customers. Some of the workarounds listed are dependent on which versions and feature-sets of IOS you have in your network. These mitigation strategies, may help reduce exposure to this vulnerability. To eliminate exposure to this vulnerability, customers should apply one of the workarounds listed above, or upgrade to a fixed release of Cisco IOS. Access Control Lists (ACLs) +-------------------------- Deploying IP access-lists can mitigate the effects of this vulnerability by allowing Firewall Authentication Proxy access only from trusted subnets. This feature must be used in conjunction with interface access-lists to ensure that IP traffic from un-trusted subnets is dropped by the router and not forwarded around the auth-proxy feature. Once the IP access-list is created, it is applied to the Authentication proxy by adding the keyword "list" followed by the IP access-list name or number. In the example below the trusted network is 169.160.160.0/24 and the auth-proxy router interface is 10.66.65.47. Example: ! Permit trusted network 169.160.160.0/24 to access auth-proxy access-list 105 permit tcp 169.160.160.0 0.0.0.255 any eq telnet ! ! Deny all IP traffic that is not authenticated by auth-proxy ! Note: Management and Control traffic to the router itself would ! need to be allowed in this access-list access-list 106 deny ip any any ! ! Modify the telnet auth-proxy config to use access-list 105 ip auth-proxy name tel-proxy telnet inactivity-time 60 list 105 ! ! Apply interface access-list 106 and auth-proxy test interface FastEthernet1/0 ip address 10.66.65.47 255.255.255.0 ip access-group 106 in ip auth-proxy tel-proxy For further information on creating IP access lists see Protecting Your Core: Infrastructure Protection Access Control Lists http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_white_paper09186a0… and Transit Access Control Lists: Filtering at Your Edge http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/tacl.html Control Plane Policing +--------------------- The Control Plane Policy (CoPP) feature can be used to mitigate the effects of this vulnerability by only allowing trusted hosts to attempt connections through the auth-proxy router. Care must be taken to ensure that legitimate management connections to the auth-proxy router itself are not dropped by the CoPP policy. In the following example trusted management host 169.160.160.1 is allowed to establish Telnet connections to the auth-proxy router itself. Trusted network 169.160.160.0/24 is allowed to attempt FTP and Telnet auth-proxy connections to IP networks and addresses other than the auth-proxy router itself.
