Hello NZNOG,
The APRICOT 2026 Program Committee chairs are pleased to announce that
the Call for Papers (CfP) has been published at the below URL:
https://2026.apricot.net/programme/callforpresentations
We look forward to receiving your submissions, noting that the APRICOT
2026 conference in Jakarta, Indonesia will be held one month earlier
than is usually the case; 9th - 11th February, 2026.
The sooner you can submit your presentation, the greater the chance it
could make the final agenda.
Any questions regarding the CfP please feel free to reach out to the PC team.
Thank you.
Mark Tinka, Mark Duffell & Achie Atienza

InternetNZ will begin a DNSSEC Zone Signing Key rollover in our current
standby chain.
This should not affect the active chain used in DNS resolution for .nz.
The status and scheduling will be posted to status.internetnz.nz.
This will consist of two maintenance windows, in each window we will pause
zone distribution to make changes, perform validation, and resume zone
distribution for the following zones:
nz, ac.nz, co.nz, cri.nz, geek.nz, gen.nz, govt.nz, health.nz, iwi.nz,
kiwi.nz, maori.nz, mil.nz, net.nz, org.nz, parliament.nz, and school.nz
The first change window is on the following link:

In response to feedback from operational security communities,
CAIDA's source address validation measurement project
(https://spoofer.caida.org) is automatically generating monthly
reports of ASes originating prefixes in BGP for systems from which
we received packets with a spoofed source address.
We are publishing these reports to network and security operations
lists in order to ensure this information reaches operational
contacts in these ASes.
This report summarises tests conducted within nzl.
Inferred improvements during Aug 2025:
none inferred
Source Address Validation issues inferred during Aug 2025:
ASN Name First-Spoofed Last-Spoofed
45177 DEVOLI 2025-08-23 2025-08-23
Further information for these tests where we received spoofed
packets is available at:

Please send any feedback or suggestions to spoofer-info(a)caida.org
