Announcement: Critical Internet Infrastructure WG is now open to public participation
ISOTF Critical Internet Infrastructure WG is now open to public participation. The group holds top experts on internet technology, critical infrastructure, and internet governance, from around the globe. Together, we discuss definitions, problems, challenges and solutions in securing and assuring the reliability of the global internet infrastructure, which is critical infrastructure for a growing number of nations, corporations and indeed, individuals -- world wide. The group started as a closed and private forum, to discuss technical and operational risks, as other venues limited discussion of critical internet resources to politically charged subjects such ascontrol of ICANN and ARIN, thus overshadowing other important aspects. As of November 18th 2009, the list is open for public access, to advance public awareness of the issues, and bring new talent on board. The group is hosted by the ISOTF, but is governed by members. Note: SCADA, network operations, and other related issues should be discussed in the appropriate forums, elsewhere. This group deals with the internet.

It's the blanket name we use to host meetings, publish papers, or give a home on the web for task forces of volunteers for global incident response and similar matters. We don't like the idea of formalizing it, and thus not much data is available on the official web page. Perhaps that needs to be fixed. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Gadi.

Off topic, but are you serious about the "Admin Interface" Link (http://www.isotf.org/?page_value=13223) or is it just a joke ? -------------------- On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 6:29 PM, Gadi Evron <ge@linuxbox.org> wrote:

hehe, thanks for noticing. I'm sure Randy Vaughn gets excited every single time someone does. Reddit had fun with our admin interface a while back: http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/6a32u/please_enter_the_first_117... As to if it's a joke... one way to find out. :) Gadi. -- Gadi Evron, ge@linuxbox.org. Blog: http://gevron.livejournal.com/
Still you didn't answer the question. What ISOTF stands for and who are "we" ? What papers the "we" published ? where ? Regards Jorge

This is off-topic, so while we give some thought as to what to put on the public web page in the future, here is a quick answer. Future responses, please off-list. ISOTF stands for Internet Security Operations Task Force. It's a loosely affiliated group of people who respond to Internet-wide incident response, and sometimes, need an umbrella name. I can share personal examples of past uses relating to NANOG, which are public. I realize you need a blurb-like answer rather than answer by example. Public is new for us, so give us time: I can share personal examples of past uses relating to NANOG, which are public: 1. Monthly botnet C&C's report, posted for a while from c2reports@isotf.org by Randy Vaughn and myself. 2. We also use it to host some papers such as I did the original DNS Amplification Attacks, which was released prior to being able to get academic credit or decent editing, due to operational needs of major attacks in the wild, with very little information known at the time by operators. 3. ISOI stands for Internet Security Operations and Intelligence. It is a non-profit and closed workshop for vetted and trusted individuals in communities such as MWP, NSP-SEC, MAAWG, and in government, law enforcement, industry and academia in North America and world-wide. In it sensitive subjects relating to the security of the Internet infrastructure, combating cyber crime, phishing, botnets and fraud are being discussed. ISOI 1 was hosted by Cisco and supported by the ISC. http://isotf.org/isoi.html ISOI 2 was hosted by Microsoft and supported by Trend Micro. http://isotf.org/isoi2.html ISOI 3 was hosted by ICANN, ISOC and Afilias, and supported by Sunbelt Software. http://isotf.org/isoi3.html ISOI 4 was hosted by Yahoo! and supported by various local SF-bay companies. http://isotf.org/isoi4.html ISOI 5 was hosted by the Estonian CERT and supported by Norman. http://isotf.org/isoi5.html ISOI 6 was hosted by the University of Texas, Dallas, and supported by Baylor University. http://isotf.org/isoi6.html ISOI 7 was hosted by Websense and ESET, and supported by Facebook and Softlayer: http://isotf.org/isoi7.html Gadi.

Oh, duh! The outages mailing list is part of the ISOTF, although clearly its own entity. Gadi.
