Spoofed Packets
by Gary R. Mensenares 20 Apr '98

20 Apr '98

Aaaarrrggghhh! I have been under attack since 2:30AM HKT and it only stopped just now. I am quite familiar with smurfs. As a matter of fact, I have turned off directed broadcast on every Cisco router I have. Constantly I am reminding my clients to do the same thing. It is sad that some people out there arent doing their part. But what bothers me the most is this most recent attack. Smurfs are ICMPs right? Well based on the logs I got, I was receiving all sorts of packets from "non-routable" addresses. This floored my International Private Line to MCI. I dont think they are smurfs because they do not belong to the same network. The protocols vary too, udp, icmp and tcp. Even the ports change. In other words, nothing is common except that they all pass thru the same gateway to our network. Being an ISP outside the US, bandwidth is very scarce and thus expensive from where I come from. I am filtering these packets so they never reach my clients. But still, the evil payload is dropped on my doorstep and it still consumes my precious bandwidth. Shouldnt MCI, or any other provider be filtering this on their borders? And if they are, there shouldn't be any packets of this variety running around their links, right? So how do these little blasted packets end up running around the internet? I am going to be very grateful if some kind souls can help point me to documentation on how to track these down and possible effectively prevent it from eating my line.

--- "17. What are the roles of Network Solutions and the InterNIC? NSI^Rs role is to sponsor ARIN, providing assistance to its establishment and providing initial support of ARIN until ARIN is self-funding. Once this is achieved, there will be no ties--financial, management or other--between the two organizations. ARIN will be an independent, non-profit organization responding to its membership. " Since it is not yet self-funding, what, exactly, part is untrue of my statement? -- none - since ARIN is self suporting ARIN is an an independent, non-profit organization responding to its membership.

All the questions can probably be answered by noting that ARIN is a non-profit arm of NSI. You don't see InterNIC without the backups (although at last report, even they weren't offsite) because they made $45 million dollars profit last year. Make no money = spend no money. Make obscene profits = spend as little money as humanly possible. Mr. Spammer, meet Mr. Mallet... Dean Robb PC-Easy On-site computer services (757) 495-EASY [3279]

3620 Field Notice (fwd)
by Al Reuben 18 Apr '98

18 Apr '98

I don't know if anyone cares, but those who have an older (5 month +) 3620 may be interested in reading this; it caused me to be up till 3:30 am and leave a good TGIF's dinner early. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 18 Apr 1998 17:18:31 +1000 (EST) From: William Roy <wroy(a)cisco.com> To: network(a)nac.net Subject: 3620 Field Notice Cisco 3620 OIR Interrupts, Power Problems Field Notice FN-1997-335-1 RCN R97-3714, R97-3757 Products Affected CISCO3620, CISCO3620-CH, CISCO3620-DC, CISCO3620-RPS, PWR-3620-AC=, PWR-3620-DC=, ACS-3620RPS= Problem Description The power supply connector in the CISCO3620 sometimes does not make good contact with the motherboard power connector. This leads to low voltage on the motherboard. Because of this, the voltage on a network module may be too low for the network module to operate. The network module "drops out" of the system, which looks to the router like the network module has been removed. The most common symptom of this problem is an OIR (On-line Insertion and Removal) interrupt message on the console followed by a router halt. The console error message is of the form: %OIRINT: OIR Event has occurred oir_ctrl 10 oir_stat CFCC Note: The IOS does not support On-line Insertion and Removal on the Cisco 3600 Series. Solution The root cause of the problem was traced to the power supply vendor who was using a power connector that was different than the connector Cisco specified. All CISCO3620s manufactured after November 26, 1997 have the correct power supply connector. Any CISCO3620 exhibiting these symptoms should have the power supply replaced, or be replaced with a CISCO3620 unit with the correct power supply connector. As an interim measure, you may be able to remove the power connector from the motherboard, clean the motherboard contacts and replace the power connector. Instructions can be found in the Cisco 3600 Series Power Supply Configuration Note. This is a temporary measure and the power supply or CISCO3620 chassis should still be replaced. A

Hot boxes

Something tells me this is *not* off-topic for this list. . . Can anyone recommend a source of switches or hubs rated for operation at temperatures above 40 C? Most gear is rated only that high, and for some installations the top end is closer to 50 C. Thanks in advance David Newman

Due to the concern expressed by our network community, we have reviewed our maintenance procedures. The ARIN external services *will* be available this weekend. We will use alternate methods for routine updates that will minimize the impact on our external services. Please send questions or comments to <noc(a)arin.net>.

NANOG must die because nobody seems to know how to remove the hundreds of quoted lines which follow their two lines of "original content". Sean.
