Sorbs is a pretty good list. And I've been on the listed-side too. I personally 
would not use it to block, but I would give it 3 of the 5 points.

The anti-spam gang is never going to be perfect. But since (self)regulation is 
not working, we need them. I value them at the moment. The only thing you can 
do about it, is figuring a way to solve this security issue (called spam).

I would state that peering gives more control over the traffic you handle

No more running to other IPs / ESPs if you are a bad boy. You can integrate it

It would be interesting to get a poll of sorts.. hands please..

Options:

1) Only allow IPv4 to be used for MTA's
2) Create a Registry of Operators/IPs for MTA's on IPv6
3) Allow all IPv6 to be used for MTA's, and use blacklists
4) Other (Suggestions)

And if you believe in item 2, (personally I am happy with 1 or 2 and open to 4) 
what would you expect such a registry to look like?

True. But the world must progress too. It would be nice if the spam-issue is 
better solved on IPv6 (than on IPv4). You would then have a reason to /not/ 
accept on IPv4 (and  give IPv6 a boost). 

There must be a good reason for people to get of their asses and start 
implementing things like DMARC. All the banks (!$%^) I talk to do not have any 
reason to implement it swiftly (they turn on p=none and then all progress 
stops). Frustrating that they are too lazy to implement a few DNS records. 

It only needs firm backing by 3+ large companies like Hotmail. Give everyone on 
IPv6 without DMARC a large spamscore (and publish that beforehand ;-) ). Give 
me ammunition and all corporates will move.

RE: [mailop] IPv6 DNSBL

2014-04-01 Thread David Hofstee
Maybe you did not understand my message. I know what you say. However:

I see a message from a list as a message-from-a-list , not as a 
forwarded-message-from-a-list-user. Because: How can a user authorize someone 
to send a message on behalf of his/her name (by sending an email). This should 
not ever happen. Example: A bank sends me an email which was authorized (in 
some way). I now forward this message. The message is genuinely not modified. 
But it still does not authorize me to send this email pretending to be the 
bank, even if it is the same message. Conclusion: If an email was sent by me, 
it should be authorized/authenticated by me. 

For mailing lists you might want to indicate that the message can be 
interpreted as being forwarded for a specific user. In that way the 
user-interface of the email client can reply to  a user directly instead of the 
mailing list. If that is what one wants.

This is SPF's famous limitation.  It's been debated to death, no need to rerun 
the argument again.

DKIM survives normal forwarding, which was one of its design goals, but mailing 
lists typically modify the message by adding subject tags or message footers, 
stripping attachments, and the like, which breaks the incoming signature.  
That's been debated to death, too.  

It always seemed to me that lists should sign their mail, publish SPF for the 
lists's bounce addresses, and recipients would use the list's reputation to 
filter, Some people apparently have a security model I don't understand that 
evaluates the spamminess of list messages by the presence of signatures from 
the individual contributors.

Colleagues,

A small group of network operators has been working on defining a minimal, but 
feasible package of recommended measures that, if deployed on a wide scale, 
could result in visible improvements to the security and resilience of the 
global routing system.

Many operators are ahead of the curve and already implement much more than the 
proposed recommendations. But we believe that gathering support for these 
relatively small steps could pave the road to more significant actions on a 
global scale.

We called this set of recommendations a Routing Resilience Manifesto - you can 
find a draft document here: https://www.routingmanifesto.org/.

This initial version of the Manifesto was drafted by a small group, but we need 
a wider community review, your feedback, and, ultimately, your support to make 
this initiative fly. It was already presented at several venues, like RIPE and 
NANOG, and now we open it for a more detailed review. Please note that this is 
very much a work in progress.

Please review the document and provide your feedback and text suggestions 
online or via routingmanife...@isoc.org by 31 August 2014.

About trying to hit the mail ports... It is very easy for a domain to set its

Well there's going to be two sources of the attack... infested clients or 
machines setup for this purpose (usually in a datacenter somewhere). Enough 
people blackhole the attacking IPs, those IPs are eventually going to have a 
very limited view of the Internet. They may not care of it's a server in a 
datacenter being used to attack, but an infested home PC would care once they 
can't get to Google, FaceBook, Instagram, whatever. 

If the attacker's abuse contact doesn't care, then just brute force of more and 
more of the Internet being offline to them, they'll figure it out. 

You hit my honeypot IPs, blackholed for 30 days. You do a DNS request to my 
non-DNS servers, blackholed for 30 days. Same goes for NTP, mail, web, etc. You 
have more than say 5 bad login attempts to my mail server in 5 minutes, 
blackholed for 30 days. You're trying to access various web pages known for 
home router or Wordpress exploitation, blackholed for 30 days. 

No point in letting troublemakers (manual or scripted) spend more time on the 
network than necessary. The more people (as a collective or not) that do this, 
the better.

Onderwerp: Usage Graphing per Subnet

Hi All,
I have a requirement to plot a usage graph per subnet. As an example.

I have a 192.168.1.0/24 subnet divided among 32 customers where each one will 
get a /29 [ 192.168.1.0/29 => Customer A ; 192.168.1.8/29 => Customer B etc... 
] ...

 Is there any tool to graph the usage of entire /24 subnet ???

Same here. I want to solve things that they seem to have issues with. But when 
I ask what is wrong they either don't respond (in any meaningful manner) or say 
that they 'solved it', without me ever knowing what 'it' was.  

I prefer swimming in seaweed instead of contacting Yahoo (or MS for that 
matter). And the seaweed here is quite gross.

Hi Matthew,

I'm pretty sure your 'gkstream.com' is wrong and that he means qkstream.com 
(see https://www.robtex.com/en/advisory/ip/66/171/128/130/ ). That does not

I do wonder if this domain qkstream.com used to be squatted?

Trusted Networks Initiative: DDoS fallback set of AS'es

2015-04-16 Thread David Hofstee
Hi,

I saw the following and thought it would be interesting to share. In case of a 
persistent DDoS an ASy can fallback to a small set of (more trustable) AS'es 
for their routing:
http://www.trustednetworksinitiative.nl/

They have a policy with procedural and technical parts, which may be upgraded 
later, for parties who want to participate:
https://www.thehaguesecuritydelta.com/images/20141124_Trusted_Networks_Policy_beta-vs0_7.pdf

Without having an opinion if everybody in the world should join this (I don't 
know the desired scope of this group), but the idea is interesting. I had not 
seen something like it before. Yours sincerely,

Onderwerp: Customer Support Ticketing

Hey folks….

We need a new customer ticketing system and I’m looking for input.  I am still 
working on a scope document on everything we want to do with the new system.

The most common problem I run across is that a system is either built for 
enterprise internal IT helpdesk or it is built like a CRM sales tracking 
system.  We are an ISP among other things and are looking for a powerful and 
yet reasonable cost system to answer email inquiries, allow customers to open 
tickets via portal, mobile support, escalation/SLA support, and several other 
things.  Solarwinds NPM integration would be a huge bonus but not a deal 
breaker.  If anyone has a system that they have integrated with Ivue from NISC 
(our billing platform) I would be really interested in hearing more as well.

So my question is meant high level.  For those folks that are ISP’s supporting 
business customers (including managed customers) along with residential eyeball 
traffic what system(s) do you use and what do you like/dislike?

I’ve looked so far at WHD (Solarwinds product), OTRS, RT, RemedyForce, ZenDesk, 
HappyFox, Kayako and several others.  All of them so far would require a fair 
amount of configuration or modifications based on our still developing wish 
list.  Also worth noting is that we have no full time development staff so 
hoping to find something that has a lot of promise and then work with the 
vendor to evolve it into what we feel we need.

**This is not an invitation for sales folks to call on me**

Thanks,

Paul

And your opinion is just another one. Someone else has a different one. 
Resulting in the mess email is now. You won't believe the crap I read in

Email security (against spam) should be fixed. Properly. Fine grained

Nothing wrong with my mail server setup, except the lack of RDNS. 
Lacking reverse should be one of many things to consider with rejecting 
e-mails, but should not be the only condition.

That would be like outright refusing mail unless it had both SPF and DKIM on 
every single message.

Sure, great in theory, does not work in reality and will result in lost mail 
from legit sources.

Already spoken to CenturyLink about RDNS for ipv6 - won't have rdns until 
native IPv6.  Currently, IPv6 seems to be delivered for those who want it, via 
6rd.

And, frankly, I'm not going to get in a fight with CenturyLink over IPv6 RDNS, 
considering that I am thankful that they are even offering IPv6 when other 
large providers aren't even trying to do so to their residential and small 
business customers.

It is very easy for some to forget that not everyone has a gigabit fiber 
connection to their homes with ARIN assigned IPv4/IPv6 blocks announced over 
BGP.  Some of us actually have to make do with (sometimes very) limited budgets 
and what the market is offering us and has made available.

Not necessarily.   But  I haven't yet heard of any meaningful attempt to
implement something like that.   Obviously with IPv4;  way too many
"legacy"  mail servers  exist that will never bother to implement new
protocols and practice improvements    even basic things,  such as SMTP
rejecting invalid recipients instead of sending unsolicited bounce replies to

Hi,

Thanks for the contact info. There is a slight detail that you may have missed

1/256th part of the internet is being blocked. We are not the owner of 
46.0.0.0/8.

P.S. The honeypot stuff was a typo by someone at a fair. He entered a .nl

The same contact was also registered later with the .com extension. Sometimes

Well, it's informationtechnol...@doh.state.fl.us but if you're blacklisted 
that's not going to help you.

Fist off, this is probably because they think you are spamming.  Have a look at 
http://www.projecthoneypot.org/ip_46.31.52.11 and 
http://ip.robtex.com/46.31.52.11.html#blacklists

Once you have sorted that out, then you can try getting in touch if they 
haven't unblocked you.

Try ringing +1-850-245-4233 and asking to speak to the 'service desk'
about an 'email issue'.  If that doesn't work, try +1-850-245-4975 then 
+1-850-245-5813.  These are all numbers for their IT service; the first is the 
main number, then infrastructure support, then application support.

If that doesn't work, nicholas.pl...@dms.myflorida.com is involved in the 
management of the Florida Government's links to the Internet; he should be able 
to forward you to the right people.

As a last resort, you can try their IT contractor, Hayes Computer Services on 
+1-850-297-0551.

I wish you the best of luck, do post back and let everyone know if you get in 
touch.

RE: High throughput bgp links using gentoo + stipped kernel

This is what we do too: Separate firewalling and routing. We use Vyatta for 
both and it works. Bye,

I don't know about "only", but it'd have to come close to "best".  iptables 
(and stateful firewalling in general) is a pretty significant CPU and memory 
sink.  Definitely get rid of any stateful rules, preferably *all* the rules, 
and apply them at a separate location.  We've always had BGP routing separated 
from firewalling, but we're currently migrating from one-giant-core-firewall to 
lots-of-little-firewalls because our firewalls are starting to cry a little.  
Nice thing is that horizontally scaling firewalls is easy -- just whack 'em on 
each subnet instead of running everything together.  Core routing is a little 
harder to scale out (although as has been described already, by no means 
impossible).  The important thing is to remove *anything* from your core 
routing boxes that doesn't *absolutely* have to be there -- and stateful 
firewall rules are
*extremely* high on that list.

Dns sometimes fails using Google DNS / automatic dnssec

2012-11-15 Thread MailPlus| David Hofstee
Hi,

We've been seeing automatic RRSIG records on Google DNS lately, the 8.8.8.8 en 
8.8.4.4. They are not always provided. They cause problems for some of our 
customers in a weird way I cannot explain. For them these records do not 
resolve but I cannot reproduce it.

So when I run dig command

dig @8.8.8.8 m1.mailplus.nl

it often provides the RRSIG record (but e.g. the TXT record will not be 
signed). I've heard that DNS may fall back to TCP and/or may be filtered by 
firewalls if UDP is over 512 bytes. However, the request is not that long, 
about 200 bytes if I interpret the answer correctly.

Can someone come up with a good explanation why a tiny percentage of our 
customers cannot resolve (some of) our domains?

Btw, our nameservers (transip.nl) only provide DNSSEC records if explicitly 
asked. What is standard here?


Thanks,

David Hofstee

Hi, David

I work at Google Public DNS and will take a look at this issue. No
RRSIG should be returned unless the client set the DO bit to ask for
it.

Thanks

Hi, we have found the bug that caused this problem. It was introduced
in a very recent release. The fix is on its way.

Thanks very much for the report,
