[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

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

Network roll call

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? So I skimmed the Chorus service providers list and the Wispa list but I didn't bother with the ISPANZ list or the NZNOG list (sorry mods) and came up with this (the count is the number of times they appeared in the Chorus Regions or WISPA list): 15 Wireless Nation 15 PrimoWireless 14 Worldnet 14 Warner Telecommunications Ltd 14 Wanna 14 Voyager 14 Vorco 14 Vodafone 14 Vocus 14 Telnet 14 Spark Digital 14 Solarix Networks Limited 14 Slingshot 14 SecureCom 14 PlanB 14 Orcon 14 New Zealand Technology Group 14 Network Edge 14 NOW 14 Kordia 14 Kiwilink 14 Inspire Net 14 HD Net 14 Business Technology Group 14 ACS Data 14 2degrees 13 Devoli 13 DTS 12 Xtreme Networks 12 2Talk 11 MyRepublic 10 Digital Island 9 nzwireless 9 Trustpower 6 Lightwire 5 Lightwire Business 5 Compass 4 Smartlinx 3 3 Vector 3 Trust Power 3 Hi-Tech Solutions 3 Fusion Networks 3 Fastcom 3 CityLink 2 Velocitynet 2 Unifone 2 NorthCloud 2 Network Tasman 2 Gisborne.net.nz 2 Bryte Internet Solutions 1 yrless 1 Zelan 1 Wireless Dynamics 1 Wifi Connect 1 Wicked Networks 1 Wanna Internet 1 WIZwireless 1 Vibe Communications 1 VelocityNet 1 Unicom New Zealand Ltd 1 Ultimate Broadband 1 The Pacific.net 1 Taylor Communications 1 OnNetworks 1 NetSpeed 1 Megatel 1 MATnet 1 Kiwi Wifi 1 Inspire 1 Fusion 1 Ezykonect 1 Evolution Networks 1 CountryNet 1 Connecta 1 AoNet Broadband 1 Amuri Here's the same list but using the Chorus Residential (instead of business) list: 15 Vorco 15 Vodafone 15 Slingshot 15 PrimoWireless 15 Devoli 14 Worldnet 14 Warner Telecommunications Ltd 14 Wanna 14 Telnet 14 Stuff Fibre 14 Spark 14 Orcon 14 New Zealand Technology Group 14 NOW 14 MyRepublic 14 Kiwilink 14 Inspire Net 14 ICONZ 14 Econofibre 14 Compass 14 Big Pipe 14 2degrees 14 2Talk 13 Skinny Broadband 12 Trustpower 10 Voyager 9 Vocus 8 nzwireless 6 Unlimited Internet 6 Nova Energy 4 Smartlinx 3 4 Farmside 3 Wireless Nation 2 Velocitynet 2 Unifone 2 Speedster Ltd 2 NorthCloud 2 Megatel 2 Gisborne.net.nz 1 yrless 1 Zelan 1 Wireless Dynamics 1 Wifi Connect 1 Wicked Networks 1 Wanna Internet 1 WIZwireless 1 VelocityNet 1 Unicom New Zealand Ltd 1 Ultimate Broadband 1 The Pacific.net 1 Taylor Communications 1 OnNetworks 1 NetSpeed 1 MATnet 1 Lightwire 1 Kiwi Wifi 1 Inspire 1 Gisborne 1 Ezykonect 1 Evolution Networks 1 CountryNet 1 Connecta 1 Bryte 1 AoNet Broadband 1 Amuri And this is the two combined (with some edits to remove obvious overlaps).

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
