Re: Quote from Kashpureff / Re: question about per. hack

I don't think that some kind of knee jerk reaction like blocking all addresses that have ever been associated with alternic is in order. Certainly Kashpureff has gone off the deep end, but am I the only one here who thinks that he is essentially fighting the good fight? I'm sick of paying the internic every year just for the privilege of participating in their name service. The centralized nature of the system is a real drag, and I'm hoping that some genius out there is working on the next generation that will allow anyone to associate their ip address with anything they want. I believe that the capitalist aspect of what the internic is doing; taking money for an essential service and trying to make a profit, is PURE EVIL and goes against everything that I belive "the net" should be. So although I don't particularly like they way that Kashpureff is staging his rebellion, I do believe in his cause. -mat ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mathias kolehmainen + ripper(a)dataway.com (ripper(a)secretagent.bob) ninewood http://www.roomfullaspies.com/9wood public key http://www.roomfullaspies.com/pgpkey.asc

Re:Non-ISP companies multi-homing?

This seems easy, so my answer is probably going to be lame. If by "multi-home" you mean 2 connects, 2 providers, 2 POPs, then I can tell you that Broderbund is doing this with out 2 DS-3s and 2 T1s. We are still layer 1 "Pac Bell Backhoe" fault intolerant, however (one fiber bundle to 1 Pac Bell CO). --->Steve ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: Non-ISP companies multi-homing?

would an anti-kashpureff bgp feed fix the dns pollution problems similar to the anti spam black list. If yes, is it collusion which would be prosecutable? If no, what are the TECHNICAL reasons it wouldn't work. Eric

I just got the most stupid idea...

Terminating many T1's
by Stephen Balbach 23 Jul '97

23 Jul '97

I am investigating options for terminating many T1's with an objective of high-density and easy scaleability. I am curious how others are approaching this. Possible scenarios: 1. Cisco serial ports and rack CSU/DSU's. Exspensive. Lot of space. 2. MAX TNT for T1's connecting to a backbone Cisco. Theoretically up to 140 T1's in 1 small box with built-in CSU/DSU's. Unproven? 3. Cascade. Similair to TNT approach, very exspensive untill you reach 70+ T1's in a chassis. 4. Chanellized DS3. Don't know anything about it - can MFS provide circuits this way via a DS3 handoff? No CSU/DSU required? Any other costs/issues? Thanks for any ideas and experiences! --stb

Remote Power Controllers
by Dorn Hetzel 23 Jul '97

23 Jul '97

I've seen this question asked before, but don't seem to have the responses handy. Can anybody recommend remote power controllers which can control moderately large numbers of devices, preferably with SNMP interface and the ability to deal with multiple power circuits? Thanks in advance for any info... Dorn Hetzel dorn(a)atl.eni.net

Hav you guys heard of the new switch that Cascade is releasing next year which has the same capabilities as the 500 but now has SDH/SONET cards. Prepare to start buying dark fiber.

Internic takes Alternic to court
by Cameo Wood 23 Jul '97

23 Jul '97

After nearly a two-week spree, the hijack of the InterNIC Web site ended when a lawyer representing Network Solutions Inc. delivered a civil action lawsuit against Eugene Kashpureff, who is scheduled to appear in court today at 9 a.m. EDT. Kashpureff, operator of the renegade top-level domain registry AlterNIC, fooled most of the Net's nameservers into changing the identity of the www.netsol.com and www.internic.net machines to that of his own. Due to the distributed nature of the network, DNS may still resolve to AlterNIC through some nameservers - even though for Kashpureff, the gig is up. "I turned it off at 12 p.m. yesterday when that lawyer called me," Kashpureff said Tuesday, not sounding as chipper as he did in earlier times. Network Solutions Inc. filed suit in US District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, seeking to shut down Kashpureff. Kashpureff denies most of the allegations and accusations. "I haven't had time to get ready [for the hearing], due to the nature and the speed of it," he said. "We do not intend to redirect the domain names of the InterNIC or of Network Solutions any longer and will promise the court not to do that, and hence they don't have any reason to take any immediate action against me." Network Solutions, which is still in its pre-IPO quiet period, refused to confirm or deny anything: "We still have no comment on that situation," a spokesperson said. But apparently, it is swift and vehement action that Network Solutions has called for. "The part I really want you to know, and the part that I want you to care about," Kashpureff explains, is the contents of the 42-page civil action itself - which calls for a complete seizure of all his computer equipment, including any data on magnetic storage. "They're turning me into a child pornographer," he said. "Read just how bad they're trying to rape me and the public - there's some very inflammatory statements about .com, .net, and .org in this document itself." While most network operators do not support Kashpureff's actions, his protest of the InterNIC monopoly strikes a common chord in many, including Aaron Abelard, who cites Network Solutions' unwillingness to work toward a compromise in allowing more top-level domains. Karl Denninger, president of MCS Inc., which also < provides alternative top-level domains, agrees. But he certainly doesn't agree with Kashpureff's tactics. "I do not support this kind of terrorism," he said. "This won't make me very popular with anyone over at the AlterNIC camp, but I hope he does go to jail."
