[Misc] Research project on blacklists
by Anushah Hossain 16 Jul '19

16 Jul '19

Hi everyone, I'm a researcher at UC Berkeley and the International Computer Science Institute. My colleagues and I are working on evaluating and improving the accuracy of blacklists. As part of this work, we'd like to hear from you about the blacklists you currently use, what you perceive as their strengths and weaknesses, and any thoughts you have on how they might be improved. We've prepared an anonymous survey where you can share your views: https://berkeley.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_200mg5hnQiAOgUl If you have five to ten minutes free today to fill it out, I would greatly appreciate your help! Thank you, and please don't hesitate to respond to me with comments or questions. (Apologies if you receive this message twice - trying to minimize cross-posting while still reaching a broad audience) Best, Anushah -- Anushah Hossain, PhD Student Energy and Resources Group, UC Berkeley

Using Cloudflare after Christchurch
by Peter Lambrechtsen 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

I don't think this question has been asked but I think it's worth asking. After the Christchurch attacks and the fact that Cloudflare clearly support terrorist and white supremacist sites has there been any consideration on if peering or engaging with Cloudflare is something that providers no longer wish to participate in. Or there isn't a sense of morality when it comes to the internet. Cloudflare have a LONG history of not caring about any and all vile material and have absolutely no intention to do anything about it from the engagements I have had with them post Christchurch. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/05/cloudflare-changes-abuse-policy… https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/12/19/cloudflare_terror_groups/ https://suespammers.net/tag/cloudflare-com-doing-nothing-about-spam-abuse/ https://krebsonsecurity.com/tag/cloudflare/ https://www.propublica.org/article/how-cloudflare-helps-serve-up-hate-on-th… To me they are clearly supportive of all sorts of vile content and have zero interest in doing anything about it while they still earn money. Has the horrific events of Christchurch given anyone pause to think if they want to engage with Cloudflare? Are morals important when running a service?. Peter

Shutting down the RPKI Validator
by Sebastian Castro 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

Hello, community: Back in 2014 InternetNZ (NZRS at that time) set up and made publicly available an RPKI Validator (validator.rpki.net.nz). It allows network engineers to test ROA validation in their routers without the hassle of setting up and maintaining their own. During the last five years, very little use has been given to the validator, with one registered user during that time. Currently, we are using a piece of old software that’s no longer maintained. With that in mind, we’d like to announce we’ll be shutting down validator.rpki.net.nz on 15 July 2019. We might rebuild the service if there is a need from the community using modern software, so please let us know if you would like it back. In the meantime, we appreciate the involvement of the NZNOG community with the validator, including a couple of presentations making reference to the service in the last years. Kind Regards, -- Sebastian Castro Chief Scientist @ InternetNZ desk: +64 4 495 2337 mobile: +64 21 400535

decent SOHO switches?
by Richard Hector 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Hi all, I hope this isn't too far off topic. What's available in the way of managed switches (at least including 802.1q VLANs) at a suitable price for a small office? The (8-port) one I bought 4 years ago, even at the time the https ui didn't work, because browsers had stopped supporting old certs or ciphers or something. I raised it with the wholesaler, who raised it with the manufacturer - no new firmware ever came out. I couldn't load my own cert onto it either. Is there anything better around, at a reasonable price? I'm not keen on what I understand is the cisco model either, where you have to maintain a support contract to get any updates. Stretching even further - I don't suppose there's anything out there with fully Free (as in freedom) firmware? Does SDN give us that? Feel free to reply off-list if you don't want to promote (or disparage) your suppliers (or self) in public :-) Cheers, Richard

AusNOG 2019 Call for Presentations.
by Terry Manderson 18 May '19

18 May '19

Colleagues, Here starts the AusNOG 2019 Call for Presentations. I'm sure you have all been waiting with bated breath! AusNOG 2019 will be held on the 5th and 6th of September at Sofitel Melbourne. As usual we are making a call for people to submit proposals for talks at AusNOG 2019 that would be of interest to the Internet operations community, ie technical presentations and not sales talks. Previous year's feedback has strongly suggested that AusNOG participants prefer to hear from operators. So, we are especially looking for operators to share what they know! (for example, sharing experiences about the NBN, deployments, or things that truely impact operations). Notes to presenters =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Preference will be given to presentations that result in actual operational outcomes. Speaking slots are typically 30 minutes, including Q&A time, although we can accommodate a limited number of requests for 45/60 minute slots. We would also entertain requests for 15 minutes. There will be a call for lightning talks (5 minutes) closer to the event. By submitting a presentation for consideration in the AusNOG 2019 programme, and if selected the presenter will allow AusNOG to: * Take photographs of the presentation and presenter * Record and rebroadcast video and audio of the presentation and presenter * Redistribute the presentation slides, audio, video, and photographs electronically, on the AusNOG website, or otherwise but leaving all intellectual property in the hands of presenter or rightful property holder[1]. Presenters receive complimentary registration while those not selected will be offered registration at the early bird rate. Deadlines =-=-=-=-= 21 June: Submission of presentation title, presentation description (300 words), and presenter biography (150 words) 19 July: Presenters notified of their acceptance status as an AusNOG 2018 presentation. 16 August: Submission of final presentation slides as PowerPoint, Keynote. Provision of a recent digital photograph (<500k) of the presenter. All submissions MUST be sent by email to organisers AT ausnog DOT net. [1]: AusNOG accepts that some speakers are unable to allow us to archive their presentation due to company or corporate policy, and if the situation arises AusNOG will delete all copies in its possession after the presentation. Cheers Terry

Hi, So Don's post made me think about how many networks do we have active today at 30 years old. What have I missed or which ones shouldn't be on here?

Internet in NZ: 30 years today
by Don Stokes 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Since nobody else seems to have noticed ... ... today is the 30th anniversary of the Internet reaching NZ. On 16 April 1989, John Houlker plugged in the PACCOM link connecting the University of Waikato, via an analogue circuit on the ANZCAN cable,to the University of Hawaii and thence to the Internet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98xdUWja_aM Also of note was that on 1 April 1989, the Telecommunications Amendment Act 1988 came into force, formally ending the century-old NZPO/Telecom regulated telecommunications monopoly. (The de-facto monopoly took a bit longer to dismantle.) -- Don Stokes, don(a)nz.net <mailto:don(a)nz.net>, 021 796 072

LocalCloud IaaS | service closure
by Peter Mott 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

Hello NZNOG'ers! A quick heads up that I have closed down LocalCloud’s VMware IaaS clusters in Auckland and Hamilton. For me this means semi retirement. I would like to thank the folk here who have helped us along the way from the mid 1990’s through to today. First with 2Day Internet, and then LocalCloud. It’s been a blast, but it's now time for me to find other things to occupy my time. I will for the time being continue to take care of the .AQ (Antarctica) ccTLD and a hand full of customers who migrated to Microsoft Azure. We have some useful IPv4 net blocks we would like to transfer to another APNIC member. Also available is a bunch of Dell (compute and storage) and Juniper kit (EX and MX series). None of this is free, but I am keen to move it on so we can get our living room back! Please indicate your interest by contacting me off list. So long, and take care out there. regards Peter Mott LOCALCLOUD LIMITED +64 21 279 4995 -/-

APNIC EC ELECTION - NOMINATIONS
by Justin Kaitapu 18 Feb '19

18 Feb '19

Dear Members, Initially, I was aware that being nominated to the Executive Council Member election for APNIC would be a challenge for anyone in the Pacific Region, mainly due to proportion and members within our Pacific Region. Having being nominated, I'm humbled to at least give it a try. I seek your support and vote for the Executive Council Member of APNIC, if voted in, quite humbly I will be your voice for Oceania within the Council. It is in my view that having a member within the Pacific Region will be advantageous to all of us. I understand the voting process is a simple matter for those of you who are members of APNIC, using your access to your myapnic and just follow the voting tab. For more details and information on APNIC EC Election Nominees, please refer to https://conference.apnic.net/47/elections/nominations/ I thank you in advance for your support.

Spoofer Report for NZNOG for Jan 2019
by CAIDA Spoofer Project 08 Feb '19

08 Feb '19

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 Jan 2019: none inferred Source Address Validation issues inferred during Jan 2019: ASN Name First-Spoofed Last-Spoofed 55785 MAXUM 2017-02-18 2019-01-31 Further information for these tests where we received spoofed packets is available at: https://spoofer.caida.org/recent_tests.php?country_include=nzl&no_block=1 Please send any feedback or suggestions to spoofer-info(a)caida.org

DNS flag day - more info somewhere?
by Richard Hector 30 Jan '19

30 Jan '19

Hi all, I hope this is more or less on topic ... I've been testing my zones with the tool at https://dnsflagday.net/ and getting results I don't entirely understand. I get errors from my secondary (ns2), which is a service from my VPS provider, and ok from my master (ns1), which I run myself. But apart from ns2 returning an aa flag for a failed query, I can't see any difference in the results, when I run the query manually from my desktop (having upgraded dnsutils to one that supports +nocookie) Additionally, the tool says an SOA record is returned (from the failed query), and I don't see that. Is there more detailed info somewhere? The tool does say my zone will continue to work but will have issues in the future, so I'm not immediately worried. Cheers, Richard

New Chorus ONT - ACS changes required.
by Brent Marquis 24 Jan '19

24 Jan '19

Hi folks, It is looking to me like some of the technical detail around this is not getting through to all of the right people In all of the right RSPs. The important headline is that if you are an RSP and use the POTS port on our ONTs for your voice service, you *MUST* make ACS updates or voice will not work on the new ONT. If you weren’t in the meeting we had on Wednesday afternoon and you look after an RSP ACS for UFB ONTs, can you please get in touch. We are running an internal staff trial for the new ONTs from 4th Feb, with production launch early March. When the production launch hits, the new ONT will be popping up on Chorus UFB connections (new installs and fault replacements). Further detail here, but please get in touch with myself and/or your SDM if you have questions or need any assistance. https://sp.chorus.co.nz/product-update/3rd-generation-ont-phase-1-rollout-s… Thanks, Brent Brent Marquis Senior Network Design Engineer T +64 4 8964169 M +64 27 2290923 E Brent.Marquis(a)chorus.co.nz PO Box 632 Wellington 6011 www.chorus.co.nz Aon Hewitt Best Employer in Australasia 2012-2017 Aon Hewitt Best of the Best Employers in Australasia 2015  Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail _______________________________________________________________________________ The content of this email (including any attachments) is intended for the addressee only, is confidential and may be legally privileged.

DNS Flag day - What you need to know
by Sebastian Castro 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

Hello: Starting in July 2018 InternetNZ has been monitoring and measuring how .nz domains will be affected by DNS Flag day. For those who don't know, DNS Flag Day, or 1 February 2019, has been set by a number of DNS software developers as a coordinated day to release new DNS software versions. The changes will remove DNS protocol workarounds related to EDNS. You can find more information at https://dnsflagday.net InternetNZ has been actively notifying affected DNS Operators, Registrars and Registrants in the past weeks, and the situation has greatly improved. If you haven't tested your authoritative nameservers, we strongly suggest you do. There are still a few high profile .nz domains affected. I'll be presenting about this topic during the next NZNOG meeting in Napier, with a description of what's changing, how the problem has been evolving for .nz and other interesting bits and pieces. There are a number of DNS software implementors involved, as well as a number of ccTLDs measuring and campaigning to reduce the number of domains affected. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me. Cheers, -- Sebastian Castro Chief Scientist @ InternetNZ desk: +64 4 495 2337 mobile: +64 21 400535
