SNMPv3
by Nathan Ward 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

I'm doing some work for a customer that involves SNMP stuff, and we've been talking about SNMPv3 and there was a comment that while $tool and $elements can use SNMPv3 they haven't done it yet. It's made me wonder about how pervasive SNMPv3 is, and the skill level out there of people who understand SNMP in general. So, quick survey that might inspire a choreographed rant from me at the next NZNOG. If you can't answer one or two questions that's OK, SNMP can be a bit weird. - Are you using SNMPv3? - Why/Why not? - Are you using contexts? - Auth, privacy, both? - Does your organisation have much SNMP(1|2c|3) skill - do you know how to interpret MIB files, do queries, do one-off short-term real-time monitoring of devices, and things like that? - Do you have your own enterprise ID (PEN)? Do you write your own MIB files? -- Nathan Ward

Mail filters - vector.co.nz
by Simon Lyall 16 Feb '10

A very literal filter. ------------------- A mail from you (nznog-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz) to (xxxx(a)vector.co.nz) was stopped and Quarantined because it contains objectionable content. objectionable content (file 234443, line 5, weight 100) ------------------- Translation: It is blocking the phrase "objectionable content" -- Simon Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar | eMT.

I've seen too often noble causes used to justify actions / policies that in later years get divorced from the original motivation.. $peed cameras = safer roads anyone? yeah right. >On another note... > >WHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[Reply] HI all, I had a conversation over dinner with an ECPAT person some years ago. While doing good work, they seemed to believe that because technology allowed images to be scanned for "flesh colours" then every email, attachment, and website should be filtered. I tried to explain technology and cost issues, and then the fact that any system, once implemented, would/could be easily bypassed by the "perverts", leaving Joe Public to pay the costs for an expensive white elephant. There was also blindness to the possible abuses by the operators of such a system, particularly where the filtering rules are hidden. So we may well have a case of political operators riding the "noble cause(s)". So we best be aware here. The slippery slope is indeed already well oiled. cheers Gary At 11:54 on 17/02/2010 you wrote >To : nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz >CC : >From: Florent Bouron, florentb(a)securify.co.nz >Content Type: text/html >Attached: image0011234567891011121314.png > > >This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > > > > >Am I the only one to spot that they're going to use a _Content_ filter to >actually filter URLs? > >A content filter is able to scan the pages for offending material, when they >talk about installing a black list of web sites. > > > >And a content filter has got far bigger technical challenges than just >filtering URLs and IPs ... or are they giving themselves the ability to >deploy further and smarter filtering in the future? > > > > > >From: nznog-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz >[mailto:nznog-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz] On Behalf Of McDonald Richards >Sent: Wednesday, 17 February 2010 11:45 a.m. >To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz >Subject: Re: [nznog] DIA Filters > > > >Out of curiosity does the NZ list also contain RC (refused classification) >material or is it purely child pornography - or are people being kept in the >dark about the exact contents of the list?
