Peering with Citylink
by Andy Linton 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

Those of you who peer at the WIX and APE route servers will see Citylink's announcements of our own networks via that path. You should see an AS path of: APE: 9560 23754 WIX: 9439 23754 It would be excellent if you'd make sure that you accept our network announcements from the route servers. If you want to construct filters based on address prefixes you can see the networks we announce by querying the NZ Routing Registry using: whois -r -h whois.wix.net.nz as9560:rs-routes:as23754 whois -r -h whois.wix.net.nz as9439:rs-routes:as23754 which gives: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS23754 descr: Route set for Citylink to APE members: 203.118.144.0/24, 198.48.0.0/22, 202.8.44.0/22^22-24, 202.7.4.0/24 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ notify: rpsl-admin(a)ape.net.nz changed: rpsl-admin(a)ape.net.nz 20031118 changed: rpsl-admin(a)ape.net.nz 20040303 changed: rpsl-admin(a)ape.net.nz 20040406 source: NZRR and route-set: AS9439:RS-ROUTES:AS23754 descr: Route set for Citylink to WIX members: 203.118.144.0/24, 198.48.0.0/22, 202.8.44.0/22^22-24, 202.7.4.0/24, 203.97.231.224/28, 210.48.103.0/28, 210.48.103.144/28, 210.48.103.136/29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ notify: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040112 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040303 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040322 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040407 source: NZRR

National Bank phishing
by Simon Byrnand 04 Apr '04

04 Apr '04

Just a heads up, After the recent fake Westpac emails trying to phish for peoples internet banking passwords and logins, there are now some National Bank ones circulating that follow exactly the same technique...... looks like the target URL has already been taken down though... Funnily enough, SpamAssassin actually scored it at 16.30 and blocked it as spam :) Regards, Simon

IANA IPv4 allocations and bogon update: 85/8, 86/8, 87/8, 88/8
by Rob Thomas 02 Apr '04

02 Apr '04

Hi, team. [ Apologies to those who receive this post in multiple forums. ] The numerous Team Cymru bogon projects have been updated as of 01 APR 2004 to reflect the following IANA allocation made on 01 APR 2004: 85/8 Apr 04 RIPE NCC 86/8 Apr 04 RIPE NCC 87/8 Apr 04 RIPE NCC 88/8 Apr 04 RIPE NCC IANA allocations change over time, so please check regularly to ensure you have the latest filters if you are not using the bogon BGP feed(s). We do announce updates to the bogon projects to sundry lists, such as the bogon-announce list. We can not stress this point strongly enough - these allocations change. If you do not adjust your filters, you will be unable to access perhaps large portions of the Internet. Worse yet, you may end up blocking access for people who transit through you. Please do not blindly apply any filters or blocks to your network without carefully considering the ramifications of doing so. As a point of reference, the Team Cymru master Bogon Reference Page can be found here: <http://www.cymru.com/Bogons/> A quick summary of the documents and projects that have been updated include the following: HTTP The Bogon List - <http://www.cymru.com/Documents/bogon-list.html> The Text Bogon Lists - <http://www.cymru.com/Documents/bogon-bn-nonagg.txt> - <http://www.cymru.com/Documents/bogon-bn-agg.txt> Secure BIND Template - <http://www.cymru.com/Documents/secure-bind-template.html> Secure IOS Template (Cisco) - <http://www.cymru.com/Documents/secure-ios-template.html> Secure BGP Template (Cisco) - <http://www.cymru.com/Documents/secure-bgp-template.html> Secure JUNOS Template (Juniper) - <http://www.qorbit.net/documents/junos-template.pdf> Secure JUNOS BGP Template (Juniper) - <http://www.qorbit.net/documents/junos-bgp-template.pdf> Ingress Prefix Filter Templates, Loose and Strict (Cisco) - <ftp://ftp-eng.cisco.com/cons/isp/security/Ingress-Prefix-Filter-Templates/> Ingress Prefix Filter Template, Loose (Juniper) - <http://www.qorbit.net/documents/junos-isp-prefix-filter-loose.pdf> Ingress Prefix Filter Template, Strict (Juniper) - <http://www.qorbit.net/documents/junos-isp-prefix-filter-strict.pdf> BGP Bogon route-server for AUTOMATED updates of bogon filters - All bogon route-server peers have already received the appropriate BGP prefix updates. - <http://www.cymru.com/BGP/bogon-rs.html> RADb fltr-unallocated fltr-martian fltr-bogons - <http://www.cymru.com/Bogons/index.html#radb> DNS Bogon (bogons.cymru.com) zone - <http://www.cymru.com/Bogons/index.html#dns> Monitoring Bogon prefix monitoring - <http://www.cymru.com/BGP/robbgp-bogon.html> Please feel free to contact Team Cymru <team-cymru(a)cymru.com> with any comments, questions, or concerns.

New APE web site
by Andy Linton 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

As of today, the APE web site has had a revamp. Those of you familiar with the WIX site will notice some similarities! The features that I think are useful from a day to day operational perspective are the Looking Glasses e.g. http://www.ape.net.nz/cgi-bin/mrlg-ape.cgi http://www.wix.net.nz/cgi-bin/mrlg-wix.cgi You can use these to see what routes are currently in the route servers and the state of peering seesions. For those of you who are keen to see what routes the route servers might push in your direction see: http://www.ape.net.nz/cgi-bin/ShowRoutes.cgi http://www.wix.net.nz/cgi-bin/ShowRoutes.cgi These will show you the filter lists we apply to outbound routes. This meta-table is the union of all the inbound filters applied to the BGP peering sessions of exchange participants. The list showing the export to 23754 is the same list applied to all participants.

Speed of Citilink provisioning?
by NZNOG＠neilnz.com 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

Hi guys - how quickly can Citilink provision a building next to their own that has had ethernet in the past (possibly currently for other tenants)? If anyone from Citilink spies this email and would like to help me out by giving me the the name of the right person to talk too, please email back. I would really like to have an active connection on the 6th of April so I can do some Firewall training at our Wellington Offices on the 7th and 8th. (After the training, the connection will stay as our Internet connection for the Wgtn office) Cheers - Neil G
