I just did some graphs of the codered worms attacking over today.. and have a look at http://www.nzdsl.co.nz/codered The last batch of attacks started about 11pm last night.. This is from 2 completely different networks in NZ and the results where about the Same The 1st graph is 1 Machine only and the 2nd Graph is a C Class. Pretty Scary.. Anyone got any similar stats?? The worse offenders are a couple of machines @ worldnet so far. Thanks Craig Whitmore Orcon Internet http://www.nzdsl.co.nz

The Wellington Wander
by Dean Pemberton 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

Ok the numbers are in. Wellington scored much less usage on the wireless front Well less on the 'being able to pick up with a dinky antenna on the sidewalk' front I happen to know for certain that there are wireless stations out there that I missed Wellington seems to have a few hot spots rather than a general level of wireless. It does score higher on the security side though. Of the 17 networks that I saw, 9 were using WEP The ones that weren't however did try valiantly to give me IP addresses and invite me onto their networks. This kinda freaked me out (this is not an intrusion attempt remember) so I ended up disabling all protocols on that interface In the spirit of Tim Allen I think I need more power. So I'm on the lookout for a larger antenna, and I think I know just the place to get one on loan =) Later Dean --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Proposed Change to Acceptable Use Policy
by Donald Neal 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

NZNOG People, It is not always obvious, but this list does have an acceptable use policy. Here it is: ---------- NZNOG Mailing List Acceptable Use Policy The NZNOG mailing list exists to provide a forum for the exchange of technical information and the discussion of implementation issues that require cooperation among New Zealand network service providers. In order to continue to provide a useful forum for discussion of relevant technical issues, users of the list are asked to respect the following guidelines. 1. Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical issues. 2. Discussion related to meetings of network service providers is appropriate. 3. Discussion unrelated to these topics is not appropriate. 4. Postings to multiple mailing lists are discouraged. 5. Postings that include foul language, character assassination, and lack of respect for other participants are unacceptable. 6. Blatant product or service marketing is unacceptable. 7. Postings of a political, philosophical or legal nature are discouraged. 8. Postings to the list should be in ASCII or MIME encoded as text/plain. Attachments should not be sent to the list. To present a document, a suitable URL may be referred to. For documents of general interest, the use of proprietary file formats is discouraged. 9. Breaches of list etiquette should be dealt with privately with the offending list user, and should not result in complaints being sent to the list. ---------- This has served us well enough for a number of years. I now propose the following addition: 10. A person repeatedly breaching list etiquette shall receive warnings from the list administrator. A further breach after the second such warning within thirty days shall result in the offender being unsubscribed from the list. Other action may also be taken to block postings to the list by the offender. Any such unsubscription is to be immediately announced to the list. Votes on this change to me (not the list!) by midday, Friday 10 August, please. In the interim, I intend to proceed as I outlined previously. I shall issue formal warnings for irrelevant or abusive postings, and shall act to block postings as soon as a third warning within thirty days is issued to any individual. To avoid any appearance of retrospective action, I shall start counting warnings only from the appearance of this posting to the list. NB: This wiping of the slate excludes persons who have during the last week threatened me with legal action or have threatened to approach my employers to get them to influence my issuing of warnings for inappropriate posting. I consider that those involved have received far more warning than most people already. If a majority of votes cast support the change, this will become permanent practice, and the list will switch in the near future to accepting postings only from addresses supplied in advance. If the majority oppose it, we shall return to relying on people's goodwill. Unless someone else has a better idea?

IP Address Management software.
by Steve Lang 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

Hiya all. 'Been lurking here for a while now, and actually have something worth saying now! I'm looking into IP Address Management packages. I've grazed through google, and a few others, and found pointers to many. It seems that there are a few packages that purport to allow people to manage IP Address space, but many of them focus on the integration of DHCP/DNS. Now, for what I'm after at the moment, this isn't an issue, and all I really want is something that can document allocations and what they're used for. There are some packages that don't exist now, and a couple that have changed hands within the last few years. An understanding of VLSM/CIDR etc. is required, although maybe not an understanding, but an allowance to docuement super/subnets. What do you, the contributors to this list use? And yes, I've done the spreadsheet thing to death...

M1122 --- spontaneously corrupting flash
by Chris Wedgwood 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

Anyone out there inflicted with an M1122? I am, and for the second time to me, and third time in total (once at my old work) have had these modem die completely... Investigation (via console) has shown, in every single case, the flash has gotten corrupted or something, as image.exe (the firmware that is booted from ROM) is either corrupt or deleted. The worst thing is, the console refused to respond, which really sucks, as it means I can't revert to the previous image or put a new one on it. To make life even more interesting, the phone lines here are pretty spectacular, modems barely work and when they do, they drop about every 10 minutes or so even when you lock the modulation to v34 in an attempt to make things more reliable. --cw --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
