> http://www.securityfocus.com/news/5654 > > Why didnt the County file charges? hijacking... thats terrorism right? :-) This is not the same "hijacking" and you know it! But they can file charges for identity fraud and theft of resources. For FBI to investigate they want $5000 of losses from the victim (or victims). Also when IP block is sold, this is profiting from illegally obtained goods (well not "goods" but they can classify it as such). This is fraud of different type (as somebody else pointed legally this would be "Pecunary fraud through misrepresentation of ownership") and they can also prosecute those who got the money but again highier amounts then $500 are needed for them to get really into this. Multiple confirmed cases of buying ip blocks from the same person/groupwould help there.

Security Requirements Intnernet Draft (a request for comments)
by George M. Jones 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

I've published an Internet Draft on "Security Requirements for Devices Implementing IP". You can view it at: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-jones-opsec-00.txt This is an outgrowth of a document used by UUNET (my former employer) to sanity check/security qualify equipment for connection to the backbone. The point of publishing the document is to start discussion. There is a mailing list set up: opsec(a)ops.ietf.org. Subscribe by sending a message to "majordomo(a)ops.ietf.org" with "subscribe opsec" in the body. The point of the document is to create a useful list that network operators can use to communicate their securtiy requirements to vendors. Please have a look and comment. Thanks, ---George Jones

RE: Minimum prefix length?
by Ejay Hire 11 Jun '03

11 Jun '03

This doesn't seem to be much of a problem with prefixes less than or equal to /24. Domestically, Verio is the big exception. They seem to filter anything longer than a /20. -Ejay -----Original Message----- From: Temkin, David [mailto:temkin@sig.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 2:04 PM To: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: Minimum prefix length? A few years ago I had an issue with a few of the larger carriers rejecting my routes (from a natural Class B space) because their prefix length was too short (at one point I simply had the /16 divided into two /17's and this still got rejected in some places). I can't remember which carriers exactly, but it may have been some larger transit providers like AboveNet/etc. Anyone know what the current attitude is by carriers about this? Nowadays with ever-growing memory and CPU it doesn't seem like it's as much of an issue. In an environment where we're all trying to conserve address space watching natural boundries doesn't seem all that smart.

FW: Minimum prefix length?

Randy - please stop sending these to me - you send me one every time I post to NANOG. If you don't like the signature that's appended to my emails (not by my choice), and the litigious society we live in, go ahead and block all email from me.

I'm glad to hear there is actually some precedent. As I mentioned to someone privately, I could go ahead and use a @yahoo.com or some other webmail service, but I prefer doing anything work related via email such as this "officially" rather than covertly. I may go ahead and switch at some point, though. Ironic, though, that you're 100% correct- that signature is going to be archived publically, which goes against what it claims. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen J.

I took some counsel on this not so long ago to see whether these were just novelty signatures or if they were real legal stuff. Turns out they could actually be used legally, interesting I thought. Howevers its curious that signatures such as this claiming to be confidential are posted to a list which is very much public and archived in several public websites.. not sure how right it is to autoappend them to all your mails as well as the private ones!

AS-701 multihop BGP peering session?
by Jeffrey Haas 11 Jun '03

11 Jun '03

I hate using NANOG as a NOC of last resort, but it looks like this is my best option. We recently migrated our IP connectivity to UU-Net/MCI/whatever you want to call them these days. I've migrated the majority of our BGP topology collection feeds to the new IP space (anyone want to give us your routes?) and decided that now we're a UU-Net customer, I'd try to get a feed from UU-Net. Apparently they only want to feed our border router, not the route collection host. If anyone has any suggestions on who to deal with at UU-Net that might have a little more clue on this type of situation, it would be appreciated. -- Jeff Haas NextHop Technologies

High Speed IP-Sec
by Leo Bicknell 11 Jun '03

11 Jun '03

I'm looking for a high speed (300-1000Mbps) IPSec solution. I need basic functionality only, a frame in one side pops out the other side. For the moment I don't care if this is a layer 2 or a layer 3 device. For the application in mind it's just between two points. I need a supported product, not some home-grown set of bits, and cost is the major factor. Most units at this speed do a lot of other stuff (firewall features, vpn clients, ids, other junk), and cost a lot of money as a result. Since there are FreeBSD/Linux boxes getting close to that throughput with accelerator cards I figure someone has to make the stripped down solution for a reasonable price. Any pointers welcomed. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell(a)ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request(a)tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org
