ICMP and port 80 traffic
by Blair Harrison 08 Oct '03

08 Oct '03

Hi All Is anyone else seeing a massive increase in ICMP and traffic to port 80? I started noticing this last night on one of my subnets that is mostly unused, just a huge amount of packets to random addresses. It's still going flat tack.. I've grabbed a quick packet dump if any of you want to see what I mean - it's in tcpdump format. http://blair.wise.net.nz/~blair/icmpandport80.gz Is this some worm variant that nobody's figured out yet? Cheers, Blair Harrison Systems Administrator WISE Net http://wise.net.nz

A partial victory! -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [RegistrarsList] VeriSign NDS Response to Suspension of Site Finder Service (KMM1024708V22161L0KM) Resent-Date: Sat, 4 Oct 2003 11:15:16 +1200 Resent-From: peter(a)2day.com Resent-To: peter.mott(a)2day.com Date: Fri, 03 Oct 2003 16:08:23 -0700 From: VeriSign Customer Service <info(a)verisign-grs.com> Reply-To: VeriSign Customer Service <info(a)verisign-grs.com> To: <registrars(a)verisign-grs.com> To All Registrars, I am writing to update you on VeriSigns Site Finder service. On Friday, October 3rd, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) directed VeriSign, Inc., to temporarily suspend service no later than 6PM PST, Saturday, October 4. VeriSign requested an extension from ICANN for 3 additional days for the shut down in order to provide the technical community time to make any necessary system changes. Unfortunately, ICANN refused this request. Accordingly, in response to this demand, VeriSign is temporarily suspending the Site Finder service as of Saturday, October 4 at 6PM PST. In suspending the service, VeriSign will remove the wildcard A records from the .com and .net zones and revert to the former behavior for these zones which is returning Name Error/RCODE=3 in response to queries for nonexistent domain names. VeriSign remains committed to improving the Internet user experience. We look forward to providing the Site Finder service following this suspension. Thank you for your business. We greatly value our relationship with you. Best Regards, Chris Sheridan Manager, Customer Service VeriSign, Inc. www.verisign.com --------- Participants on the VeriSign registrars list are requested to not cross-post messages. -- Peter Mott Chief Enthusiast 2DAY INTERNET LIMITED http://www.2day.com "Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something!"

NZNOG 2004 - Call for Presenters
by Donald Neal 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Call for Presenters NZNOG'04 a.k.a. Big Geek Programme 04 (BGP-04) The next meeting of the New Zealand Network Operators' Group is to be held in Hamilton on January 29th and 30th 2004. Our hosts are the University of Waikato's WAND Network research group. NZNOG meetings provide opportunities for the exchange of technical information and discussion of issues relating to the operation of network services, with particular emphasis on New Zealand. NZNOG invites presentations on relevant topics. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to: Operation of the DNS in New Zealand; Carrier IP network structures; Internet exchange activities; VoIP deployment; IP Routing theory or practice; Access technologies; Network management tools and practices. Presentations from researchers and from practitioners are welcomed. Presentations don't need to fit any particular fixed length. In addition to more substantiative talks we hope to include a session of very short presentations this year as a forum for floating an idea or reporting on a discovery in a less formal manner. The possibility exists that the meeting might be extended beyond two days to accommodate suitable material. Suggestions for topics for presentations or discussions are also welcome. Prospective presenters should in the first case send email to talks(a)nznog.org describing their intended presentation topic, and giving some idea of the level of detail and length of presentation which would suit them. We'd prefer to receive offers to present sooner rather than later, but the deadline is 23 November 2003, with the last acceptances to be notified not later than 30 November. Further information, as it becomes available, will be posted at: www.nznog.org Donald Neal | "Stucco - A hitherto Technical Specialist | unknown Marx brother."
