by CHCon crew 16 Jul '17

16 Jul '17

Hi Everyone We are proud to announce the second Christchurch Hacker Conference (CHCon), to be held at the UCSA Events Centre, 90 Ilam Rd, Riccarton, on Friday 27 and Saturday 28th October, 2017. That’s right, we’re aiming for a two day conference - with an additional training day before the main event. The call for presenters, trainers, and sponsors is open. We will open registration for general attendees in the coming weeks, so stay tuned as registrations will be limited. CHCon is a two-day conference this year dedicated to technology security with an emphasis on both breaking and building. We will be offering training on the day before the conference (Thursday 26th October). We have a large amount of presenter slots that we need to fill, on everything from the Suggested Topics under the Call For Papers at https://2017.chcon.nz/#cfp. Presentation submissions are welcome from all interested parties, we're not interested in vendor pitches or commercial content. The close off date is approaching fast. More information is available here: https://2017.chcon.nz/#cfp We also have a number of training slots we'd like to fill. If you have a security related training you'd like to give the day before the main conference, please make a submission. More information is available here: https://2017.chcon.nz/#cft CHCon is strictly not for profit and to keep our conference fee as low as possible, we need sponsors to support us. The sponsorship money is used to help make CHCon, an instructive and quality event for the Canterbury & NZ tech community. More information about sponsorship is available here: https://2017.chcon.nz/#cfs Event Website: https://2017.chcon.nz/ Thanks from the CHCon crew

Request for contact in TVNZ On Demand for escalation of support ticket 117175
by Alexander Neilson 05 Jul '17

05 Jul '17

Hi All Sorry for the noise. Can someone inside TVNZ On Demand please make contact off list. It looks like some of our IP's (At $DAYJOB - inside 45.118.188.0/22) are on some kind of block list being used by TVNZ On Demand for Akamai delivered videos. The video player just shows a fairly useless error message, and when looked at in fiddler a 403 is being returned from the Akamai server. We are not aware of any lists any of the affected IP's are on and I believe they may be legacy listings. I have been trying to work through with TVNZ On Demand Support under Ticket 117175. So far I haven't been able to escalate this or get any feedback or way forward. We have worked with our upstream carrier and they have raised it with Akamai who have indicated it isn't a block they have in place but that their customer has hence trying to make contact with someone who could check if the blocks are recent or prior to being held by us and if recent what caused them so we can resolve it. Thank you for your time. Regards Alexander 022 456 2326

RFC 8195 "Use of Large Communities"
by Job Snijders 01 Jul '17

01 Jul '17

Dear NZNOG, RFC 8195 "Use of BGP Large Communities" was just now published: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8195 RFC 8195 presents examples and inspiration for the operational application of Large Communities. The document suggests logical categories of Large Communities and demonstrates an orderly manner of organizing community values within those categories to achieve typical goals in routing policy. Any network or route server operator can consider using the concepts presented as the basis for their own Large Communities repertoire. RFC 8195 is meant as a companion document in the same way that RFC 1998 provided a concrete real-world application for RFC1997 BGP Communities. The RFC draws on the experience of operator communities such as NANOG and NLNOG. A ton of open source implementations [1] with Large support are already available. And with more traditional vendors like IOS XR, Junos, Arista & Nokia having releases around the corner, I hope this will be useful when planning your Large Communities deployment later this year. Kind regards, Job [1]: http://largebgpcommunities.net/implementations/
