Incident Reporting
by Jonathan Brewer 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hi Folks, Occasionally things go wrong, resulting in daytime outages for end users. In the aftermath, some of the service providers we work with are very thorough, providing standard reports with a reasonable amount of technical detail. Others keep quiet, or try to pass the blame to their suppliers. I'm interested in hearing about what ISPs are doing for incident reporting - in general or specific, on or off-list. If I get a fair amount of replies, I'll send some stastics back to the list. Cheers, Jon

Kiwicon 2k7 - Registration Open, First round of speakers announced
by Adam Boileau 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hi NZNOG, Preparations for Kiwicon 2k7 - New Zealand's first Hacker Con, 17-18 Nov, Wellington - are well under way. Media coverage is brewing[1] and things are shaping up to be a really good event. At this time, the Kiwicon Team is pleased to announce the first round of presentations[2], which include topics (hopefully) of interest to an NZNOGgy sort of crowd. So, come along and drink a beer with the hackers, "security consultants" and researchers who use, abuse and pwn your networks ;) If you'd like to present, the CFP[3] is still open, but spaces are going fast. Registration is now available[4], and we'd encourage you to do so to help with our planning. See y'all then. -- Regards, Adam on behalf of the Kiwicon Team [1] http://www.smh.com.au/news/security/hackers-do-the-haka/2007/08/20/11874621… [2] https://kiwicon.org/presentations [3] https://kiwicon.org/ [4] https://kiwicon.org/register

Orcon's Nameservers Changes from the 21th of August
by Craig Whitmore 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

Hi NZNOGers On the morning of 21th of this month Orcon will disable recursive name server lookups from non-Orcon IP Ranges. This will mean that people outside our network using our name servers will not be able to look up DNS for any domain which we are not authorative for. This should not cause any issues at all unless people have hardcoded our name servers (60.234.1.1/60.234.2.2 or 210.55.12.1/210.55.12.2) into their machines and are not on our network. Thanks Craig Whitmore Systems Administrator Orcon Internet.

Notification of NZRR Database changes

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that some object(s) in NZRR database which you either maintain or are listed as to-be-notified have been added, deleted or changed. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes. --- PREVIOUS OBJECT: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS24324 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Kordia - AS24324 members: 124.157.64.0/19^19-29, 58.84.224.0/20^20-29, 116.89.224.0/20^20-29, 202.56.32.0/20^20-29, 202.68.80.0/20^20-29, 203.144.32.0/20^20-29, 202.20.0.0/21^21-29, 202.49.16.0/21^21-29, 202.49.128.0/21^21-29, 202.56.48.0/21^21-29, 202.137.240.0/21^21-29, 218.185.224.0/21^21-29, 202.27.88.0/23^23-29, 202.65.160.0/23^23-29, 203.110.28.0/23^23-29, 192.173.17.0/24^24-29, 202.21.130.0/24^24-29, 202.27.83.0/24^24-29, 202.27.90.0/24^24-29, 202.36.75.0/24^24-29, 202.36.137.0/24^24-29, 202.36.154.0/24^24-29, 202.36.173.0/24^24-29, 202.37.168.0/24^24-29, 202.37.197.0/24^24-29, 202.49.158.0/24^24-29, 202.49.183.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: smc(a)kordia.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070801 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS24324 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Kordia - AS24324 members: 124.157.64.0/19^19-29, 58.84.224.0/20^20-29, 116.89.224.0/20^20-29, 202.56.32.0/20^20-29, 202.68.80.0/20^20-29, 203.144.32.0/20^20-29, 117.104.176.0/21^21-29, 202.20.0.0/21^21-29, 202.49.16.0/21^21-29, 202.49.128.0/21^21-29, 202.56.48.0/21^21-29, 202.137.240.0/21^21-29, 218.185.224.0/21^21-29, 202.27.88.0/23^23-29, 202.65.160.0/23^23-29, 203.110.28.0/23^23-29, 192.173.17.0/24^24-29, 202.21.130.0/24^24-29, 202.27.83.0/24^24-29, 202.27.90.0/24^24-29, 202.36.75.0/24^24-29, 202.36.137.0/24^24-29, 202.36.154.0/24^24-29, 202.36.173.0/24^24-29, 202.37.168.0/24^24-29, 202.37.197.0/24^24-29, 202.49.158.0/24^24-29, 202.49.183.0/24^24-29, 203.171.4.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: smc(a)kordia.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070814 source: NZRR
