by Dean Pemberton 22 May '16

22 May '16

Hi All, Wearing my INZ hat here. The Domain Name Commission is currently running a consultation process around the .nz WHOIS policies and InternetNZ would like to encourage people to make submissions on that process. This is especially true of people in the technical and security fields. While I don't want to offer an opinion about the current policies, any of the submissions, or proposals, what I do want to do is to encourage you to read the proposal and submissions and consider if you might like to make a submission of your own on the process. You can see more information at the link below with an outline of a proposed process. https://dnc.org.nz/consultation-whois-review-process If you think that there might be a better process than the one outlined then please put in a submission with your input and if possible details of an alternative process. If you think that the process outlined is appropriate then please consider putting in a submission detailing why you support it. It's important to ensure that both sides are well represented in the submissions being considered. Comments can be sent by email to policies(a)dnc.org.nz, or by post to PO Box 11881 Wellington 6142.

Mikrotik BGP VRF Advise
by Liam Farr 18 May '16

18 May '16

Hi, Im looking for someone to give some architectural advise on setting up VRFs on a Mikrotik for separating out BGP routing table functionally. E.g. Local BGP Peers / Local IX's > Local VRF National Transit BGP Peers > National VRF International Transit BGP Peers > International VRF Then leaking those routes into other VRFs, for example a customer transit VRF containing routes from all three. Is there anyone other there who has done this on a Mikrotik (preferably in production) that might be interested in providing some architectural advise / initial configuration help? Payment in cash / beer / hard liquor / your preferred currency. -- Kind Regards Liam Farr Maxum Data +64-9-950-5302

Exploit on Ubiquiti AirOS
by Dean Pemberton 16 May '16

16 May '16

Hi All I'm told that the local WISP operator community is dealing with a new worm[1] that exploits Ubiquiti AirOS devices running older firmwares. This could potentially be a lot of devices. http://community.ubnt.com/t5/airMAX-General-Discussion/Virus-attack-URGENT-… has ISPs from Spain, Brasil, and the US reporting infections in thelast 24 hours. Versions prior to these are vulnerable: 5.5.11 XM/TI. 5.5.10u2 XW 5.6.2 XW/XM/TI There looks to be some more information here which might or might not be related. https://hackerone.com/reports/73491 If you know anyone who makes use of UBNT AirOS products, now might be a time to give them a nudge. [1] quote from the forums "It's a self-distributing virus, so, once it can "see" neighbour antenas within the same subnet, it attacks the others."

AS17746 Gone burger
by Simon Allard 05 May '16

05 May '16

Good Morning NZNog. Just a FYI AS17746 is no longer aggregating any of the ex-Orcon IPv4 or Ipv6 subnets. These have been moved to AS9790. Its made our IPV6 uptake stats look a little sad, but that's just how it is. 17746 is still in the AS path for some routes, but the goal is for that to change overtime. Any issues encountered, please sing out Cheers, Si Simon Allard | Senior Network Architect D: 09 550 2790E: Simon.Allard(a)m2group.co.nz M: 020 100 0790W: vocus.co.nz A: PO Box 108-109, Symonds St, Auckland 1150

Xtra mail issues
by Chris Roberts 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Hi Is there someone that can help with the issue of delayed mail with Xtra / Yahoo. There has been no mail sent to the xtra domain for some days now (like a week) so should there have been any issues it should have resolved. The NZNOG phone number for the NOC ends in Asia with some unhelpful people. We suspect the issue may have been caused by a winery sending a newsletter or a compromised user email address as you do from time to time. The domain that is being rejected is amuri.net I some one can contact me or sam(a)amuri.net or remove the block which would be even better that would be great. Below is the reject message: Action: failed Status: 4.4.2 Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; delivery temporarily suspended: lost connection with mx2.tnz.mail.yahoo.com[124.108.96.211] while sending RCPT TO and The mail system <xxxxxxx(a)xtra.co.nz>: delivery temporarily suspended: lost connection with mx2.tnz.mail.yahoo.com[124.108.96.211] while sending RCPT TO Cheers Chris --

OT: Dodgy Russian port-scanning service / 158.255.5.147 causing high CPU
by Liam Farr 16 Apr '16

16 Apr '16

Hi, Just thought I’d throw this at the list, more of an interest piece than anything. A downstream network noticed today some extra latency on their network, caused by a significant increase in packets / CPU usage on a Mikrotik CCR in the path. At approximately 3:20 am this morning there was an uptick of about 25k PPS on their network, although not a significant increase in the amount of overall traffic (mbps) on the network. After some investigation this afternoon it was found that the additional increase in traffic was coming from 158.255.5.147 which appears to be a Russian web based port scanning service. While the service itself claims not to be malicious, by design it was causing a detrimental affect on the customer network, (increased CPU and increased latency), there is also the question of what the results of the port scan are used for, which I highly doubt is a legitimate purpose... Anyway enjoy your Sunday :) Liam

by Dean Pemberton 12 Apr '16

Hi NZNOG members, Just a cross post from INZ-members to let you know InternetNZ has done a short briefing on the recent report from the Intelligence & Security review. If you're interested but can't be faffed reading through 180 pages - The InternetNZ one is only 9 (including title page) and covers off a lot of the key issues for the Internet Community - think of it as a useful starter for 10. https://internetnz.nz/sites/default/files/submissions/InternetNZ_Briefing%2… Feel free to let us know if you have questions or things you think we got wrong.

RAD E1 over IP converters
by Richard Naylor 11 Apr '16

11 Apr '16

Having a bit of a clean out here and found a pair of RAD IP-MUX-11 units. They are E1 over IP. Basically they use about 10Mbps to shift an E1 circuit (2 Mbps). One unit has a faulty power supply (5v and 3.5V) but otherwise is good. Free to a good home can be your "home lab" or business - otherwise they go into the recycle bin. Email off list if you're interested will this (de)generate into a series of emails...... Rich
