Interesting links on hacking in the large
by Matt Stevens 12 Jun '18

12 Jun '18

Greetings, I am interested in looking at the progression of hacking strategies over the last ten years or so. However hackers typically don't talk and sadly my circle of friends do not extend to those leading the hacking trends, that is, well resourced criminal groups and nation states. Hackers do however read. I'm interested in what you have found that already exists in the public domain. Stuff where you have gone "ohhh, interesting..." or "that's novel" or "I can't talk about it, but I have seen this...". I am anticipating links to publicly available news articles, government reports, conference presentations, YouTube videos or what-have-you. The goal is an academic paper examining these trends that hopefully will present interesting insights. I am a researcher at Victoria in Wellington under Professor Ian Welch whom runs our Cyber Security undergraduate degree and postgraduate research. I have an ME in Software Engineering with a Network Security slant and am currently working towards a PhD in the same field with an applied science focus. I like to think I am making stuff that is actually useful. I am very happy to chat if you are interested and will respect the need to discuss clients and employers in the abstract. Coffee is on me. But, my main interest here is interesting links Please email me direct! Cheers Matt Stevens Researcher Engineering and Computer Science Victoria University

Bigpipe removing IPv6 from existing broadband connections
by Michael Fincham 15 May '18

15 May '18

Hi all, Looks like Bigpipe has decided to withdraw IPv6 from their broadband customers... If you have contacts at Bigpipe please get in touch with them and ask them WTF they're doing. This is absurd. I've been recommending Bigpipe to people for ages because they offered IPv6. Forcing their customers to renumber and drop back to legacy IPv4 at this point is just idiotic, let alone not continuing to offer this service. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bigpipe Broadband <support(a)bigpipe.co.nz> Date: 14 May 2018 at 09:54 Subject: Changes to your Bigpipe connection Hi [...], Thanks for taking part in our IPv6 trial that we announced on Geekzone. We’ve had a heap of really useful feedback to keep in mind for our future developments in this space. >From the 12th of June 2018 the trial will be ending and you may notice a short 5-10 minute outage while we withdraw it. We’ll be making the change overnight at a time that has as little impact as possible. There’s nothing further you need to do, however as with any outage if you find you haven’t automatically connected again, simply restart your modem or router. If you have any questions or want to chat this through, you can get in touch via https://ww.bigpipe.co.nz/contact-us Thanks again for getting involved. The Bigpipe People -- Michael
