noise

G'day all, When I returned to Australia I re subscribed to the aussie-isp list. This was a huge mistake. The list is full of absolute garbage. The current topic seems to be whether or not Microsoft Flight Simulator would equip you with the skills to fly a large airplane into an even larger building. With only minor exceptions nznog has always been (at least for the two years that I was in NZ) used as a tool by cluefull New Zealand (and many ex NZ) network operators. There are obviously others hanging around, but comments are generally on topic and useful. Please don't let this list go the same way as the Australian one. If it does then I suggest that most network operators will probably take their comments to a private list and leave the crap for everyone else. Phill. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Joe, Regardless of whether what Matthew did is right, (and I don't happen to have a problem with it) it is clear that you're just using this as yet-another-opertunity(tm) to troll this mailing list. I can't speak for others, but I for one am sick and tired of known trolls who go out of their way to provoke off-topic flamefests which have little if any relevance to the mailing list. I didn't subscribe to this mailing list to watch installments of the Joe Baptista vs nznog soap opera, but to keep in touch with issues relevant to the internet in NZ. Whether you like it or not, warning that a notorious spammer is back in action is relevant, and your diatribe is not. If Matthew gets in trouble for saying what he did, that's his problem, and its not for you to lecture him on the rights or wrongs of doing what he did. In the interests of minimizing offtopic flaming (which is your goal, after all) I won't be responding to any further replies or messages from you, and I urge others to do the same.

US Terrorist Attacks
by Chris Wedgwood 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

As most of you will know my now, there have been a number of terrorist attacks in the US. All phone circuits over here are overloaded and email is about the only thing left working after popular new sites have collapsed under the load. Any communications to and from the East Cost of the US are suffering something terrible... email still works but thats about it for many places. Watching this live is truly chilling... --cw --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Julian Angelo
by Matthew Poole 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

Gee, what a short period of reform. Following on from Messr Angelo's request that his "history" be removed from the archives of NZNOG, he's back again. With a vengance. i4free's abuse mailbox currently has about 26 e-mails in it, and at least 18 of them are regarding the latest spam campaign by NZ's most notorious e-mail figure. We're certainly looking forward to closing all his accounts. Again. NOT! -- Matthew Poole "Ever wondered why cemetaries raise the cost of burials then blame it on the cost of living?" --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Where the hell did that come from? As the person who did all of the closing of Julians accounts LAST time he did this over the I4free network, I know exactly what Matt is going on about. I dont see anything libelious in what Matthew has just said. Dont turn this into something its not. Its simply a case of Julian Angelo again shooting himself in the foot - libel is not libel when reported thruthfully. Lets not start a sparring match where one neednt be. Mark.

Raptor firewalls

What is the difference between the SYN packet from the RH box and the SYN packet from netscreen. Potential differences include TCP options, normally just MSS, but are there others? Source IP/Port?

Raptor firewalls
by Brodie Davis 10 Sep '01

10 Sep '01

Hi, is anyone else having weird problems talking to raptor firewalls. What is happening is that we are running netscreen firewalls (hardware appliances) and we can't talk to any raptor firewall with its syn flood protection on. As what that does is break the 3 way handshake for tcp connections (it responds to a SYN with a ACK and a incorrect acknoledgement number). It(raptor) only behaves this way with the netscreen box, not with my RH box sitting out in the wild. ( i have packet dumps of the traffic) (i haven't had a chance to observe how it deals with PIX and checkpoint.) Is that traffic pattern an addition to the TCP standard or is it completly non standard coms. (I found rfc 0793/ STD0007 that defines what i expect, but i can't see any additions to the standard supporting the Axent/Symantic way). Anyone got any thoughts?

Responses to Letter from ING
by David Farrar 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

I'm inquiring if any ISP or like body knows of any business who responded to ING's letter and either changed their mind or now wishes they changed their mind? TVNZ are doing an article on the letter and would like to be able to interview someone who was taken in by it or at the minimum who was going to take it up until they sought advice. Also any indications from ISPs as to how many calls they have recived about the letter would be useful. If you know of anyone can you pass on their contact details to me or alternatively get them to contact me by e-mail or on 04 471 9353, preferably by midday tomorrow.
