Trying to locate a cell device of the coast of Otago
by Travis Baird 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hi everyone. I am posting here as a last resort and this isn't really relevant to to this group, but more than anything I am hoping someone here may have some more knowledge about cellular technology than me. I have a customer that has lost a fairly expensive Buoy off the cost of Otago and it's GPS has stopped working. Vodafone have confirmed they are still seeing it connected to their cell tower (2G only) but the Vodafone helpdesk people aren't particularly helpful when we start asking them about options for finding a rough location at sea so we have an idea where to look for it. Does anyone know if it's possible to triangulate a location of a cellular device these days? Is there a cutoff distance from the tower that the device will no longer be able to connect (e.g. if there is this helps narrow the search area at least)? Does anyone have an contact details for someone at VF that might be able to help? If anyone has any info that might help, please contact me off list. Thanks in advance.

A Leap Second will be added at 2016/12/31 23:59:60 UTC (Security=UNCLASSIFIED)
by HENDERSON MIKE, MR 20 Jul '16

FYI/A A Leap Second will be added to the world's clocks at 2016/12/31 23:59:59/60 UTC. Owing to the fortuitous operation of the rotating globe, this will happen at lunchtime NZ Time (noon or 13:00, depending on how NZ Summer Time works) on New Year's Day 2017, so will more likely affect our post-prandial nap than interrupt our New Year revels Details below sig block.

Large increase in traffic
by Dave Mill 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Hi We're seeing a large increase in inbound traffic levels today. Appears to be coming in both over peering links and internationally. Right now it appears to be Microsoft related. An AKL-IX graph shows it well - http://monitor.akl-ix.nz/cacti/graph.php?local_graph_id=14&rra_id=all Or the MS port: http://monitor.akl-ix.nz/cacti/graph.php?action=view&local_graph_id=137&rra… Does anyone else have more information to add as to what MS patches or similar are causing this? And over what borders this traffic is entering their networks? Cheers Dave

Huge increase in Spam traffic over the past few days - Domains registered with MelbourneIT?
by Cameron Bradley 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Hi All, Wondering if anyone else has seen the same situation in their environments. Our MTAs are taking an absolute pounding (and as a result I'm not sleeping much!) from a bunch of hosts with PTRs for domains ending in 'eas.com' (ex 'leipai168eas.com', 'attractive7eas.com', 'theevermoreseas.com', 'bajasouleas.com'). All the domains seem to be registered through Melbourne IT to random gmail addresses (which themselves look spammy!) and using cloudns nameservers. There has also been a noted increase in traffic from other domains, but this one stood out to me as a pattern. We've got mitigations in play, but I'd still be interested to see if anyone else was experiencing any noise. Cheers, Cam

NOC status (was 2Degrees (SNAP) issues at 220 Queen Street this morning)
by Jamie Baddeley 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

I think it's a great idea. Would be a good paper/lightning talk from someone at the next NZNOG conference. The key issue is a standard API that network operators could present to an aggregator location like http://www.nznog.org/noc-list and for it to include info that operators need to know and care about. If some sort of API spec was published then at least folks would know what to aim for. Jeez, even a set of twitter handles to aggregate would be a start. But then we'd rely on Timmeh not breaking shit. Anyone up for talking about that sort of stuff in February?

Fw: [AusNOG] IPAM/DCIM - NetBox
by Michael Fincham 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Hi folks, For those not also on AusNOG - we've been having a play with this today, and enjoying it considerably more than certain previous IPAM and DCIM solutions. About half of AusNOG seems to have turned up in the IRC channel, #netbox on Freenode. See you there. -Michael Begin forwarded message: Date: Tue Jun 28 14:07:32 EST 2016 From: Peter Carstairs <peter.carstairs+ausnog(a)gmail.com> To: ausnog(a)lists.ausnog.net Subject: [AusNOG] IPAM/DCIM - NetBox Hi noggers, Long time listener, first time caller. Thought people still use excel spreadsheets as their IPAM would find NetBox interesting and useful. https://github.com/digitalocean/netbox There's a live demo at http://netbox-demo01.packetlife.net/ username:admin password:demo Cheers, Pete
