ps. Works great XP with ActiveState perl. -----Original Message----- ... In the spirit of helpfulness I have thrown together a small program to help you in your endevor. ... Hope you find it helpful. (Note, you will need perl installed in /usr/bin/perl, and it will need to be run on some *ix box, also, dont make $x anything other than 0 or weird things may happen, oh, and you can alter $number to be the number of values you require for your database thingy wotsit.)

RE: [nznog] IP address allocations and geographic areas

Unfortunately there are some in the U.S. that do block all APNIC space, mainly due to the amount of spam originating from China and Korea. Personally, I think putting Florida into its own address range and null routing it would have a far greater impact on the global spam levels :-) I'd suggest emailing them from an address that isn't blocked and point out the error of their ways Cheers, Gordon

Oddly the traffic is low, 20% of normal instead of the 60% the WIX-AT&T split we found before would indicate. I guess there's a bit of asymetric routing out there :| -- David Zanetti <david.zanetti(a)catalyst.net.nz> Team Leader, Systems Administration Catalyst IT Limited +64-4-8032233 +64-21-402260 NOTICE: This message contains privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the addressee named above.

More Key Signing Stuff

Begin anonymous forwarded message: > I'm going to really prove my ignorance when it comes to all things > pgp. Now that we've done the verification as to who's who, and > everyone owns their own key, what does one do, so sign someone elses > key, or get their key signed by someone else ( should they want to ). I kind of forgot to talk about what we do after we were finished with all the hexadecimal and drivers licences. So here we go: 1. Download the public key ring from buglumber and import it. 2. For each person whose identified you are satisfied with, check the fingerprint on the downloaded keyring against the sheet of verified fingerprints. 3. If you feel like it, sign the key with yours. This is a convenient way to record the fact that you have verified the accuracy of the key. 4. If you feel like it, send the signed public key back to the person who gave it to you. This provides an additional path through the web of trust for people to trust your key, and is generally a handy thing to have. 5. If you feel like it, upload the key with your signature to one or more key servers. This is good for the same reasons that 4 is good. Lather, rinse, repeat for all keys.

How many ISP's charge their customers to query DNS?
by Chris Hodgetts 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

I know this is a "consumer" question, but I find it very strange... Quote from the Paradise Help Desk Email system when questioned about why I was being charged to access kirsty.paradise.net.nz , their secondary DNS Server... "Kirsty is our secondary DNS server, you will get charged traffic connecting to our DNS servers." Any other people working for ISP's wanna comment on if they charge? I know, from what Xtra's support staff said, they don't.. I just find it really hard to believe.

Denial of Service Attacks
by Anaru Hartley 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

Has anyone noticed a surge in DDOS attacks from Asia? One of the Windoze servers I look after has been getting rather nailed these past few days. Most appear to be coming from Japan - at least 5 a day and every time within a few minutes of each other, lasting a minute or two. If I am really lucky, I'll get 20 in one day ... somebody loves me :-)
