Hi, if they won't answer their mails route them to Null in all of your backbone. Seems to be the only thing that works. We just add a route to Null on one of our backbone routers and have the igp redistribute the thing all over our backbone. We had an intensive port scanner coming from ibm.net in switzerland. None of the contacts would react so we routed the network in question to /dev/null until the scanning stopped.

If there is anyone from @HOME here who is or who knows how to contact people that deal with security related issues, can you please drop me email? Calling your NOC, and sending email to your listed contacts makes me think that people (or scripts?) on the other end never passed logic 101.

this is a truely brilliant operational architectural solution. once again the nanog list comes to the rescue of someone who can not contact a noc.
Once upon a time, Randy Bush could read English and understand the message. Somehow while working for Verio his ability interpret English correctly vanished. Sad, very sad. Alex
Thanks for all those who responded. @HOME very promptly reacted to the problem. One has to wonder why posting a message here gets immediate reaction (this should hint certain individual why this list is used in situations like this) while following standard operational procedures (sending email to listed contacts and contacting NOC by phone) do not produce visible results in several days. Unfortunately, this is becoming an industry standard. Alex
