UPDATE: missing service vehicles
by Sean Donelan 22 Sep '01

22 Sep '01

The original report came from a security bulletin from a different major carrier in the New York City area. I hadn't heard back from the official contacts at the carrier today, but a person was kind enough to send me the e-mail address of a person high up in the carrier's management. He responded to me this afternoon. All the vehicles have now been found and accounted for. He believes the vehicles were accidently taken by other employees. As you know, all the trucks are painted alike, and anyone who has a large fleet of vehicles knows its not uncommon for keys to work in multiple vehicles.

Nimda Scanner tool--finds infected/vulnerable hosts
by Murphy, Brennan 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

Hope I'm not late in the game on this one. But I found a tool advertised as able to scan for machines that are either infected or vulnerable to infection from the Nimda worm/virus. http://www.eeye.com/html/Research/Tools/nimda.html >From the website: "The Retina Nimda Scanner is a tool created by eEye Digital Security that is able to scan up to 254 IP addresses at once and determine if any are vulnerable to the "Nimda Worm". If a machine or server is found to be vulnerable to the Nimda Worm, the Retina Nimda Scanner will flag the IP address. " Hope someone finds this useful. I have no affiliation with eEye. -BM

Checking visitors entering your facility
by Sean Donelan 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

A major carrier has missplaced several of its service vehicles. There is some concern they may have been stolen. So you may want to double-check vendor ID's of service personnel accessing your facilities.

Disaster recovery..

21 Sep '01

Hey folks. I have been commissioned to research disaster recovery after the effects of Sept 11 on the major IP networks for an article in UK trade Magazine ISP World. Presumably any further dialog may be best kept out of NANOG lists, so please reply direct to me (unless you guys feel discussion here is relevant) at d2(a)d2consulting.co.uk I was wondering if any wizards may have some quotable comments etc as to what (if anything) occurred that day to the Internet, and what was done to rectify any problems... Any feedback would be warmly received, Thanks in advance Dom Dom Robinson : D2 Consulting ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'data in motion' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IP Distribution Consultancy eMail: d2(a)d2consulting.co.uk www.d2consulting.co.uk (Also for Global-MIX ltd and ISP World Magazine)

RE: route-map match clause for existance of a BGP session?
by Bulger, Tim 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

Several people have requested that I post my findings.. The idea here was to utilize multiple transit providers as backup paths for VPN connectivity between remote locations by redistributing static host routes into the IGP based on the availability of a particular peer. Initially, the route announcements for each location were not being advertised to us by our peers at each other location, which made looking for the specific announcement difficult, hence my question about looking specifically for the presence of the session. Correcting for this made it simple to implement a standard route-map that looks for the announcement itself, rather than the session. route-map VPNpath match ip address prefix-list Site1 match ip route-source 10 set metric 50 router ospf 1 redistribute static subnets route-map VPNpath When latency or packet loss or what-have-you are affecting a provider, but the announcement is still present, it is simple to go to the router with the best connectivity and tweak the metric value to prefer that path. I know that there are multiple other ways of achieving the same results, but I kinda like this one. :) Thanks again, Tim -----Original Message----- From: Bulger, Tim [mailto:TBulger@ea.com] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2001 6:13 PM To: 'nanog(a)merit.edu' Subject: RE: route-map match clause for existance of a BGP session?

Sorry for the non-operational content, but looking for some Cisco advice. Does anyone happen to know a trick for a route map match clause that will only match if a BGP session is established with a given peer? The idea being to only redistribute a particular static route based on the availability of the peer through which the next hop of the static would be configured... Thanks in advance, Tim
