Its a different CDN and doesn't give a lot of stats Videos will be online asap, but we're just starting a 7 day event, with a large audience. Rich

Barracuda product warning.
by Alex White-Robinson 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

https://www.sec-consult.com/fxdata/seccons/prod/temedia/advisories_txt/2013… Vulnerability overview/description: ----------------------------------- 1) Backdoor accounts Several undocumented operating system user accounts exist on the appliance. They can be used to gain access to the appliance via the terminal but also via SSH. (see 2) These accounts are undocumented and can _not_ be disabled! 2) Remote access via SSH An SSH daemon runs on the appliance, but network filtering (iptables) is used to only allow access from whitelisted IP ranges (private and public). The public ranges include servers run by Barracuda Networks Inc. but also servers from other, unaffiliated entities - all of whom can access SSH on all affected Barracuda Networks appliances exposed to the Internet. The backdoor accounts from 1) can be used to gain shell access. This functionality is entirely undocumented and can only be disabled via a hidden 'expert options' dialog (see Workaround).

networking is hard - tshirts
by Sam Russell 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

I hope you're all enjoying the conference, and the awesome tshirts that some of us are wearing. I've had a few requests for them, so I thought I'd ask on list to see who wants them - they're $35 each, sizes are a bit larger than kiwi (my size M is like a normal kiwi size L), black with white text on them saying "networking is hard" I need to get about 10 requests all up to make it worthwhile, and I've had 5 already, so if I can get another 5 by the end of the day I might be able to get them printed in time for tomorrow - if not, you'll have to find some way to get your shirt, I'm in wellington, but given how much many of us travel I'm sure you could find someone to courier yours to you -- Sam Russell Network Engineer Research & Education Advanced Network NZ Ltd ddi: +64 4 913 6365 mob: +64 21 750 819 fax: +64 4 916 0064 http://www.reannz.co.nz

NZIX OpenFlow adventures phase 3
by Dean Pemberton 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

Morning everyone, You all remember the NZIX OpenFlow project I've been posting about of late. Well we've just ticked off Phase 3, and as far as we can tell it's another world first. Phase 3 was to implement a distributed SDN controlled fabric and pass production traffic over it. Today, with considerable support from Citylink, REANNZ and others in the SDN community. We have managed to extend our existing fabric across the city, provision our first customer link and pass their production traffic across the fabric and onto the WIX. I'll be giving some of the technical details at the NZNOG conference this week, but suffice to say that we're not about to stop here. We've got a distributed fabric now, and we're looking to extend this even further. 1) More locations. I still want Auckland and we're very close to having this be a reality 2) Look at further services this enables at Layer3 (going to working closely with Citylink on developing this) 3) Look at the auto-provisioning options this can provide at Layer2 So a couple of things to take away from this. . Remember that if you have a WIX peering session currently, I've already configured you a test session on my route server for you. Turn up a test session and convince yourself that it works router bgp 9483 bgp router-id 202.7.0.119 . If you have any suggestions of things we can be working on in the future then now's the time to get in touch and let us know your thoughts. What are the things that you always wished you could do on the exchange but couldn't? We can build those tools. . Thank you to all the people who made this success possible. If you've been a supporter since the beginning then we know who you are and thanks. See you that the conference! Regards, Dean
