Hello Everyone, Thanks to Jared's sponsorship, we are creating a nsp-* mailing list for the NSP Security Operations community. We will use the nsp-security for NSP security coordination and consultation. We expect most of the consultation to be on procedures, polices, tools, mitigation techniques, and other proactive activities. We will also try to use the list as an incident response alias - tracking and mitigating attacks in progress. Membership to the alias will be restricted to those actively mitigating of NSP Security incidents. Therefore, it will be limited to operators, vendors, researchers, and FIRST team and other people in the NSP operations community working to stop attacks. That means no press and (hopefully) none of the "bad guys." We will use a simple trust/peering relationship used on some of the other aliases. This model is not as "secure" as an encrypted conversation, but better than a wide-open public dialog. We will establish the trust by asking members of the list to vouch for new subscriber requests. If the list administrators know the person, then they can vouch for them. Yes, we have had similar "security" lists in the past. With nsp-security we will connection the E-mail dialog with face-to-face meetings in the operations conferences. The first "meeting" is the ISP Security BOF at the next NANOG. Like NANOG's Peering BOF, the ISP Security BOF is a facilitation tool ... bring together people living with the daily pain of ISP Security incidents. So the hope is the combination of face-to-face and private E-mail list will help use take forward steps. So apply for subscription, send a note to: nsp-security-request@puck.nether.net with the word "subscribe" in the subject or body of the message. Alternatively, you can use the web page at: http://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/nsp-security Barry PS - Looking for a couple more volunteers to help as administrators. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Barry Raveendran Greene | || || | Senior Consultant | || || | CTO Corporate Consulting | |||| |||| | | ..:||||||:..:||||||:.. | e-mail: bgreene@cisco.com | C i s c o S y s t e m s | Phone: +1 408 525-8089 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
