NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing registry database. 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.

Rule 6... part 2.
by Steve Holdoway 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

Apologies to those who didn't get the Monty Python reference ( there is no rule 6, after all! ), I'll take the general census as an ok, and hope this isn't too off-list. I'm working for a company down here in Christchurch who are developing a new tool aimed at catching email spam. Much simplified, it uses linear regression techniques to create a signature of the email involved, and then performs a fuzzy match on that sig against databases held on our servers ( via a local cache to improve performance ). We reckon we've got it to be pretty indestructible ( and with a pretty small footprint ), but we need to test it further. Are there any ISP's out there who could help us out by a) trialling it ( our testing up to now has been as a milter under sendmail/postfix on linux ), and/or b) sending us loads of spam to stress our backend processes?? If so, could they contact me offlist? Cheers and thanks, Steve

Re: [nznog] DNS Vulnerability

In message <20080708234533.B080B112872(a)wat.la.naos.co.nz>, Ewen McNeill writes: >See also, eg, http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=4687 which has some >sane discussion of the issue [...] It appears that someone guessed close enough to how the attack worked to cause one of the people "in the know" to post a confirmation, and then attempt to withdraw it -- but of course people have found traces of the confirmation description and mirrored it. So the cat seems to be out of the bag, and presumably the Bad Guys (tm) will now try to do this for real. See, eg, http://it.slashdot.org/it/08/07/21/2212227.shtml which has various cut'n'paste copies of what seems to be the confirmation description, plus a link to the guess that prompted it. >Amongst other things they suggest patching any recursive/caching DNS >servers with vendor patches at the soonest suitable patch window. If you haven't already patched your recursive/caching DNS servers used by customers, today would be a good day to do it. So says Dan Kaminsky who found the issue in the first place: http://www.doxpara.com/?p=1176 Also beware that the NAT in at least some firewalls has been reported to undo the port randomisation that the patch introduces, resulting in predictable port numbers again (and thus no increase in randomness or protection against this attack). Linux-based firewalls are reported to be okay (apparently by default they pass through the port number used by the client on outgoing UDP packets if they can), and presumably OpenBSD based ones are okay given their choice to randomise everything. But beware of running recursive DNS servers behind NAT on firewalls without checking what the outgoing packets look like -- if in doubt perhaps put your recursive DNS servers into the DMZ outside the NAT.

Compromised websites
by Glen Eustace 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi, We have had only a single site compromised so far but googling around indicates that this particular hack is all over the place. On the site in question all files .htm, .html and .shtml have had code added before the </body> tag, the code is a <jscript></jscript> that loads fgg.js from http://www.usaadw.com, the script that is loaded then tries to open an iframe but the content gives a 500 server error. I can not identify the vector used to edit all the files. This is on a linux server running apache 2 but google finds plenty of .asp pages that have been attached as well. The script is also called ngg.js but has almost identical content. Has anyone else been hit and if so, has the vector been identified ? Any assistance appreciated. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Glen and Rosanne Eustace GodZone Internet Services, a division of AGRE Enterprises Ltd. P.O.
