Can whois registrar info be wrong?
by Richard Hector 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Hey all, Is it technically possible for the registrar details in whois (for a .com domain) be out of date, or is the whois the canonical source of the info? If it is possible, how would I go about finding out who's really in control? Does a registrar have an interface for that? Unfortunately I'm not sure how reliable my client's own records are on this ... Cheers, Richard

Phish? Re: .NZ would like 5 minutes of your time
by Richard Hector 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

It's an email apparently from one party (NZRS), apparently sent by a second party (my registrar), via a third party (mscv.net) with a link to a fourth party (surveymonkey.com), which seems classic phishing. On the other hand it "looks quite legit". If it is legit, am I right in thinking it's a bad way to go about it? Any comments from participants? Richard

Vodafone / ihug DNS Servers - Reset of Zone File
by Justin Lewis - ResponseMedia 13 Sep '15

13 Sep '15

Hi All, Is anyone else seen ns1.ihug.net.nz and ns2.ihug.net.nz Reverting to older zone files since around lunch time today? Looking like the zone serial is back to "2015082705" should be at least "20150905XX" Have a customer who's entire zone file has been reverted to an old record that's is over 3 weeks old. Customer portal is showing the new zone file though.

Internet Data Portal
by Jay Daley 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hi We’ve recently gone live with an open data site to publish whatever .nz related data that we can publish and any other useful Internet data - https://idp.nz For some years we’ve published IPv6 and DNSSEC stats but we decided it was time to publish that in a more useful way and include as much other data as we could. Initially we only have four datasets on the site: = .nz registrations data - a daily count of domains in each state and each transaction going back a few years (182,511 rows) = .nz Zonescan data - metrics from the monthly scan of all nameservers delegated to by the .nz zone (7,723 rows) This is where the IPv6 and DNSSEC stats come from. = ISPs - the Statistics NZ annual survey of ISPs sizes etc in a more usable format = Internet Connections - the Statistics NZ annual survey of ISP connections, datacaps etc in a more usable format If there’s any other data that we have that you think we could publish then please let us know and if you have any useful Internet related datasets that you’d like published then please get in touch as we’d be keen to help. cheers Jay -- Jay Daley Chief Executive NZRS Ltd desk: +64 4 931 6977 mobile: +64 21 678840 linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/jaydaley
