The Apache.ORG website was cracked and defaced by an unknown cracker, and that seems to be the reason that the site was taken down. Below is the system information from defaced: Operating System: FreeBSD 2.2.1 - 3.2 Web Server: Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) ApacheJServ/1.1 PHP/3.0.12 AuthMySQL/2.20 This is certainly a cause of concern for me, I don't know about you. --------------------------------------------------- a8888b.

Argh, well as I am now learning, most of the corporate email filtering systems are not letting the last email with the zipped VBS file go through, so if you did not get that but want to see it just email me and I'll email you a URL.

Virus heads-up

Heads up on a new virus - ILOVEYOU I'm sure you've heard about it already, but you may wish to block www.skyinet.net (206.101.197.226) at your borders, as that is where it fetches part of the actual virus code from: 132.185.x.y - - [04/May/2000:10:23:14 +0100] "GET http://www.skyinet.net/~y oung1s/HJKhjnwerhjkxcvytwertnMTFwetrdsfmhPnjw6587345gvsdf7679njbvYT/WIN-BUG SFIX.exe HTTP/1.0" Other than that, it looks like just another Melissa.

[Sorry about the non-operational content] I complained at SkyInet.net about two hours ago - they were very responsive and said they'd pull the offending files immediately. They seem to have done so. If anyone wants removal instructions, LMK. Also, if anyone wants a copy of the .exe for analysis, I have one.

Filtering: APNIC Policy changes
by APNIC Secretariat 04 May '00

04 May '00

** Apologies for duplicate messages ** Important Public Announcement CHANGES IN APNIC ADDRESS POLICY If you ingress filter on any of the following APNIC address ranges - 61/8, 202/7, or 210/7 - then please note the following important changes to APNIC address policy which were approved at the recent APNIC Member Meeting in March, in Seoul, Korea. * APNIC will lower its initial minimum allocation from a /19 to a /20 (this will apply across all address ranges held by APNIC). * APNIC will begin making allocations from network 61/8 as routine allocations from its total address pool. These policy changes will take effect three months from this announcement, on 4 August 2000. This email is intended to allow the ISP community sufficient advance notice to make any necessary filtering changes. For more detailed information on these proposals and decisions, or other discussion items, copies of presentations and discussion papers are available on the APNIC web site at http://www.apnic.net/amm2000/ .

tcp port 8311?
by Brent Sweeny 03 May '00

03 May '00

we're seeing what appears to be a new large stream of data going outbound on tcp port 8311 and we can't identify a corresponding new application-- destinations are varied, with streams in the range of 50-100MBs each. Do any of you have any ideas what this is, and where to find out more about it? is this a new Napster? thanks, -- Brent Sweeny, Indiana University

Construction work near 55th cut power to the office park housing some of the regional Denver exchange points and regional ISPs. Some ISPs appear to be up on generators, others are unreachable at this time.
