Morning. Just saw this: http://vrt-blog.snort.org/2014/04/heartbleed-continued-openssl-client.html Which I thought might be useful to know. -- Juha Saarinen twitter: juhasaarinen

Snapchat question

Hi all, we have had some users say they intermittently can't use this application. After downloading this app (and deciding it should go into the why the hell was that ever invented pile) it seems a bit difficult to fault find any issues. Does anyone know how this thing communicates ? Is it normally intermitttant ? Thanks all

Heartbleed OpenSSL Vulnerability
by Dean Pemberton 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Hi All, NZITF (in conjunction with InternetNZ) have been endeavouring to raise awareness about this issue. We have compiled some information on our website, which may be of use to you and/or your clients. Please feel free to share this link as widely as you see fit. http://www.nzitf.org.nz/news.html The NZITF is treating this as an ongoing security issue with significant implications. As a result we are intending to monitor this situation and update our advice as required. We have tree basic messages for website owners: 1. Establish if your site's servers are vulnerable. 2. Patch the vulnerable servers. 3. Revoke/reissue keys and certificates. If you are vulnerable it is imperative that you do steps 2 AND 3. Not one, but both. You should also be encouraged to discuss this very important issue with your regular security consultants. If you have feedback or information please feel free to contact me so we can include it in the advice on the website. Regards, Dean

The same thread/poster also says: "[...] Does not work on Debian.

Those (who were) running a vulnerable OpenSSL on FreeBSD may wish to take that into account in their assessment :-) The main thing which is certain is that it's going to be a well studied/probed bug.

The exploit has been rumoured for some time. Does it matter who the primary actors are. They have all the private keys by now and g's/s-view/wifi/scan has the other half; so that deals with the white-hats. All historical data dumps can be retrospectively analysed at any time for eternity at ones leisure. As for the code which is in the wild I enclose a graph of 3 hours traffic from the http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/# site which is using something like 31 machines showing ~2000 sites being tested every minute, ~360,000 over 3hours and that is from a public site; an unknown% will be blackhats. This is catastrophic and you should believe it's not only our guys that have it but every other *worth their salt. InternetNZ almost became a CA in ~2004. We could have fixed this hole now for .nz with a working revocation system. Then INZ had a new team on board and it was .... The ironical blowback is that our "own" might be just as threatened by this. We just have to get on and deal with this as a priority tomorrow and for the next decade.

I.e. if you've patched servers in the last 24 hours, how likely is it that your certificate keys have been leaked over the last months / year? Not looking for accurate numbers, just roughly where on the scale of, "this is possible but no reports of actual use" to "all the black hats have been doing this for years so you're screwed unless you re-issue and revoke your certs" the exploit lies. Also, last time I worried about this, certificate revocation was, uh, largely unimplemented. That was a while ago. How well does it work now? And with potentially large numbers of revoked certs? -- don _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog

ICONZ-Webvisions (NZ) to cease operating externally-reachable NTP servers
by Mark Foster 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hiya folks - again... ! :-) ICONZ-Webvisions (the entity formerly known simply as ICONZ in NZ) are making changes to their NTP server arrangements on the evening morning of 10 April (so, overnight tomorrow night). The details of the changes being made can be viewed at: http://iconz-webvisions.com/en/support/outages/new-zealand In short, if you have been using 'ntp.iconz.net' or 'ntp.iconz.co.nz' by DNS name, you'll have already seen a change; this now is CNAME'd to s2.ntp.net.nz (which happens to sit in our DC)[1]. Anyone who has been using any of our (very long lived) NTP servers by IP address, these IP's will stop responding to NTP queries from outside of our network, in the wee hours of 10 April. Much like the DNS changes recently made, this is most likely to be noticed by people who've been using these IP's for historical or habitual reasons. Customers with concerns about this change are invited to contact our Customer Care team on 0800 843 638 or via support.nz(a)iconz-webvisions.com<mailto:support.nz(a)iconz-webvisions.com>. Non-customers, should probably change their NTP timesource to a publically available resource; I do very much value and recommend the services offered by NZRS, with details at www.ntp.net.nz<http://www.ntp.net.nz>. Regards Mark. [1] This was done in conjunction with NZRS and mainly as an 'interim' measure. Those DNS records may be removed completely at some stage in the future. Anyone using those hostnames should move to using services such as those offered by NZRS, and bypass our DNS entries completely, as soon as possible. -- Mark Foster Technical Services Manager - Australia & New Zealand [iconz-webvisions-logo-png] www.iconz-webvisions.com<http://www.iconz-webvisions.com/> ICONZ-Webvisions, ICONZ House, 60 Airedale Street, Auckland 1010, New Zealand

Here's one to keep an eye on. Seems to be getting a bit of attention. http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/720951 http://heartbleed.com/ Work with your vendors to confirm if you're at risk.

tk[1-4].ihug.co.nz
by Joel van Velden 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hi List After Mark's announcement about removal of Iconz public ntp I thought I should check my ntpd configs. Can anyone from Vodafone give an update on tk[1-4].ihug.co.nz? After many mergers and acquisitions it occurs to me that perhaps these could be dusty machines under someone's desk that could disappear one day without announcement? Any official comment? Is there an official webpage about them? Regards, Joel van Velden

Software Defined Networking (SDN) Presentation
by Jay Best 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hey is anyone else going to this? I haven't seen many of you guys from NZNOG in ages, so would be good to catchup for old times sake! Cheers, J *Software Defined Networking (SDN) Presentation* Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development and Massey University invite you to an informative and engaging presentation by world leading New Zealand expert Mr. Josh Bailey from Google around SDN research in New Zealand and beyond. SDN has been generating a lot of press in the network industry and research worlds. While a community has arisen to energetically debate what SDN is? There are concrete research efforts and deployed systems exploring the implications of separating control and data planes. These include Google's B4 network (which connects Google data centers together) and uses OpenFlow and CityLink's efforts in New Zealand to produce an SDN controlled Internet exchange. This presentation will describe some recent research both here in NZ and in the US, including work at REANNZ and Victoria University on building and deploying an open source SDN controller and experiments including RPKI. Date: Monday, 14th April 2014 Time: 4.30pm - 6.30pm Venue: Room OR 4, Building 102 Massey Albany Campus Gate 4 Eastbourne Road, Old Albany Highway. Cost: Complimentary RSVP: Shona Alo (s.alo(a)massey.ac.nz) if you would like to attend
