Yes we have photos I'll get them developed when I get back to Oz.

smtp.xtra.co.nz --- sick?
by Chris Wedgwood 05 Aug '01

05 Aug '01

I'm seeing funnies to smtp.xtra.co.nz --- basically some connections when sending email are terribly slow, while others work perfectly well. Does anyone know if this address is a load-balancer or something? If that's the case then it might be a host behind it is a bit sick or something... I'm seeing 10 second delays or more between having received a TCP ACK and getting an SMTP ACK back. The helpdesk didn't seem too interested, I didn't even ask if they wanted to see my packet dumps[1] :) --cw [1] Another outstanding pickup line. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

I'm getting lots of hits on my home box, unfortunately. 142 since August 1 is the latest count. :-( Noticed that the GET requests look different now: 203.231.234.229 - - [05/Aug/2001:11:46:35 +1200] "GET /default.ida?XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9 090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u9090%u8190%u00c3%u0003%u8b00%u531b%u53ff%u0 078%u0000%u00=a HTTP/1.0" 404 283 "-" "-" Whereas earlier on, they looked like this: 65.192.84.7 - - [05/Aug/2001:06:51:26 +1200] "GET /default.ida?NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN%u9090%u68 58%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u90 90%u8190%u00c3%u0003%u8b00% u531b%u53ff%u0078%u0000%u00=a HTTP/1.0" 400 330 "-" "-" -- Juha Saarinen --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

idg.net.nz --- IMHO privacy implications of archives are debatable (Paul Brislen)
by Chris Wedgwood 04 Aug '01

04 Aug '01

In light of recent comments WRT a certain IDG article I find: http://www.idg.net.nz/webhome.nsf/UNID/EA33E2992D04A5C0CC256A9E0010FACC!ope… Ah, internet. Bane and boon of my life. What would I do without you, dear old friend? Well, for a start, I wouldn't be following a language tutor's advice quite so often. He told me there are two steps to learning a foreign language. Step one: open mouth. Step two: insert foot. [...] Most entertaining of all, however, is that when I rewrote the story for Computerworld it changed the story as it appears on the web. The old version ("Newsgroups could be breaching privacy act") was effectively replaced with a new one ("Privacy issue over mailing list archives") in a single Orwellian moment. Ironic, really, when you consider the story in the first place was triggered by a question about whether an archive could or should be changed to remove old postings. Pretty reasonable comments this time, certainly worth reading. --cw --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

CodeRed Worm Stats

>From: Craig Whitmore >I just did some graphs of the codered worms attacking over today.. and have a look at >http://www.nzdsl.co.nz/codered >Anyone got any similar stats?? Similar stats from one of our boxes that does nothing all day except ignore ARP broadcasts on it's LAN segment. http://www.outersite.co.nz/codered.html This is probably ho hum for many, however I pity those that pay per MB. At NZ retail rates a box infected with CodeRed could easily burn bandwidth at $300 per hour, fairly scary to come back Monday to find your box has burnt $15,000 over the weekend.

Increase in Code Red activity?
by Brian Gibbons 04 Aug '01

04 Aug '01

We have noticed a large increase (10 fold) in CodeRed activity since bang on midnight last night. The probe rate seems to have now leveled off at one probe per IP address every three minutes. This activity was actually noticed from monitoring of broadcast traffic on an ethernet LAN (TCP SYN to Black hole LAN IP address). If WorldNet are listening, these two systems are hitting us regularly 210.55.74.165 210.55.76.51 Cheers BG. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
