Martin, It's my former employer's router. It's more like a 4 hour day to get in/out of the city even though I'm only 20 miles from the PoP. Top that off with a $90 parking bill. Nobody is paying me to do that work. There are no more employees left in the company. Pete Stage2 "Survivor Island" Bronze Medal Winner On 7/20/23 14:02, Martin Hannigan wrote:
Pete, if all the data I see ties together like it looks aren't you able to take the 15m taxi ride to 60 Hudson and recover the router or shut it off? It's your router. Right?

Ben,
Compromised as in a nefarious entity went into the router and changed passwords and did whatever. Everything advertised by that comprised router is bogus. The compromised router is owned by OrgID: S2NL (now defunct). AS 36471 belongs to KDSS-23 <https://search.arin.net/rdap?query=KDSS-23&searchFilter=entity>. The compromised router does not belong to Kratos KDSS-23 <https://search.arin.net/rdap?query=KDSS-23&searchFilter=entity>, and is causing routing problems. The compromised router needs to be shut down. The owner of the compromised router ceased business, and there isn't anyone around to address this at S2NL. The only people that can resolve this is Cogent. Cogent's defunct customer's router was compromised, and is spewing out bogus advertisements.

Can you confirm what you mean by compromised here?
The prefixes currently (as far as I can see from bgp.tools) originated are:
Prefix Description 209.255.244.0/24 <http://209.255.244.0/24> Windstream Communications LLC 209.255.245.0/24 <http://209.255.245.0/24> CONSOLIDATED TECHNOLOGIES INC 325 HUDSON 209.255.246.0/24 <http://209.255.246.0/24> Windstream Communications LLC 209.255.247.0/24 <http://209.255.247.0/24> CONSOLIDATED TECHNOLOGIES INC 325 HUDSON 216.197.80.0/20 <http://216.197.80.0/20> --
The 209.xx have valid RPKI certs, so they seem validish, but all have RADB IRR entries made bylightower.com <http://lightower.com> in 2015.
Do you mean that someone has impersonated AS36471 and set up a cogent port, and is now announcing your space? I'm confused

NANOG,
A customer of Cogent has a compromised router that is announcing prefixes sourced from AS 36471. Cogent is propagating that to the world. Problem is, those prefixes and AS don't belong to that customer of Cogent - AS 36471 belongs to Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (see whois).
Requests to Cogent Support and Abuse go un-actioned. Need a contact at Cogent Abuse that can shut down that compromised router. Anyone have a good contact at Cogent Abuse Dept?
Cogent ticket: HD302928500
