This has been taken up by the DNC - check out her website for the latest info. I'm not sure whether they are using an old version of the .nz zone file (although these haven't been available for at least 18 months), or they have some scripting engine pulling the information of the general WhoIs. This breaches the DNC policy on use of private information for commercial gain, yada, yada ...

Eg: I own learnbydestroying.co.nz and the "offer" is for learnbydestroying.net . How ever since these letters include; Reference #, MPID ? , Closing Date, Credit card details, and very little info to conclude that this is a Renewal many people have inadvertently paid the money ( $237 for two years ! ) thinking it's a Domainz or other registrar invoice. I'm not questioning the legality of this , as I am no expert, how ever im interested to know how so many of my clients and myself ended up with these letters? Anyone else experienced these letters or perhaps had clients pay for what they thought was a valid renewal?

spamarrest.com is offline
by Aaron Nielsen 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

It is seems spamarrest.com is offline. Had a customer who uses it ring as they can't check their mail - invalid username and password. spamarrest.com site says it will back online in a few minutes, but it has been offline since about 7:30 this morning. I wonder if they are under DDoS attacks or if it is a spin off from osirusoft.com and spews.org being closed down... Aaron

by Simon Lyall 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

As part of tracing our customers infected with the Blaster D, Nachi worm [1] I've been go through our traffic logs. A side effect of this is that it's really easy for me to get a list of NZ ip's that appear to be infected and that have pinged our customers. If anyone [2] is interested in a copy I'd be happy to send them one. Format will be: <Epoch Time><space><ip> ie: 1062069861 23.81.23.21 1062069939 156.74.132.12 Send me an email if interested. I can probably do last night and some of this morning. 2 hours worth of last night was approx 400 different ips.

I have seen some older stuff only support half duplex, so you may not have the duplex full command. Make sure you've got both ends set to the same. I haven't had much luck with autonegotiate, and just tend to lock everything down. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Clark [mailto:dan(a)scarfies.net] Sent: Friday, 29 August 2003 10:33 a.m. To: James Tyson Cc: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: Re: [nznog] Cisco 1000 10BaseT Interface...

Cisco 1000 10BaseT Interface...
by Dan Clark 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

Hi Guys, I have a Cisco 1000 Border router here for one of our frame-relay connections. I am getting many collisions on the 10MB Ethernet0 interface. The other end is connected to our Pix and that interface is set to autonegotiate as thats the only way I can get it to come up. The only IOS command I can see under the Ethernet0 interface seems to be the bandwidth command much like that of a frame-relay serial interface, so I set that to 10000. Does the interface simply not support full duplex operation? Is an IOS upgrade needed, would this help? I wonder if someone could tell me how to either hardset the unit to full duplex or if it doesn't support full duplex operation Or are there such things as a 10/100 Ethernet Card Interface for what appears to be an expander slot next to the frame serial interface connector on the router.

Heads up on an email account scam
by Steve Rielly 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

Hi All, Just wanted to give people a quick heads up on some spoofed emails that are going around. The email is to appear to come from admin@(company...), actually came from bb220-255-58-109.singnet.com.sg, and asks them to read an attached document (message.zip) else their account will expire. I'm going to see if the zip file is quarantined if anyone wants to look further, and its not exactly new but its been a while since I've seen it, figured you may be wanting to let you users/clients know in case they haven't learnt their lessons about this yet.
