Cat-5 cables near 200 Paul, SF

2013-05-31 Thread Tuc
Hi,

Hate to be "that guy" but really need help. Anyone know a place near 200
Paul in SF with a major quantity of cat-5 cables? Like 30 8ft blue, 20 8ft
grey, 30 5ft blue. Need them today due to ex-employee's poor inventory
keeping.

Thanks, Tuc

Hi,

Thanks to everyone. I didn't pay enough attention the last time this was
discussed, sorry about that. I have my cables, though I need to start
working on my sob story when I put in my expense report for 30 cables that
should have been 1.44 each, not 6.95.

Thanks again,
Tuc

Looking for MIX/NOTA members

2009-12-10 Thread Tuc
Hi,

 I know this is NAnog (Which NOTA may qualify for being in Miami) but
I'm in need of help for MIX too.

 I'm involved with a client that had their range advertised by another
AS. We were told by all parties involved that it has stopped, but I
still seem to be seeing it on RIPE's MIX and NOTA looking glass.

 If anyone knows LG's other than RIPE that have access into MIX/NOTA
(I did try HE.NET and PCH.NET, they didn't come up with the
information I'm looking for) or can do a "sho ip bgp regex _13913$"
and email me PRIVATELY, I'd appreciate.

 Thanks, Tuc

They seem to be very environment focused, so I'm sure doing
anything that isn't is subject to scrutiny from the rest of the industry.

Hopefully it won't come around to bite them. I had read an
article on "The Planet" going as green as possible, then they had the
huge outage and I'm sure negated 2-3 times what they had done to that
point.

Well, yes and no...

I actually was thinking of the ARIN list that you had the temporary
ban on :

http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-discuss/2008-February/000897.html


and then the permanent ban :

http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-discuss/2008-June/001058.html


as for banning from NANOG, there is a message, purportedly from
you :

http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-discuss/2008-February/000890.html

contains "So Harris banned me from NANOG." . Not sure if thats the meeting,
the NANOG list, or one of the NANOG/Merit other lists. Also, in :

http://www.iadl.org/nanog/nanog-story.html

I see "So, effective May 4 2005, Harris again banned Anderson. Although 
the new "reformed" rules require a limit of 6 months, Anderson remains banned 
as of April 16th, 2006. It seems permanent."

but I think that refers to another NANOG group, dnsop.

Cable re-management

2008-11-11 Thread Tuc at T-B-O-H.NET
Hi,

I wondered if any of the NANO's (Specifically NYCNANO's) have
ever brought in another company, or offered as a service to the general
world cable re-management. I know Hugh O'Kane is a big place that does
it, but I'm looking for said services in NYC. I have client datatel
closets that REALLY need color coding, cables cut to length, A-B
labeling, etc. For an added bonus, they would potentially be able to
build out an entire FLOOR of a building from scratch. 

Private replies please, will summarize to any who ask.

DDOS - How much is "too much"?

2008-12-11 Thread Tuc at T-B-O-H
Hi,

I have a client who prior to me settled into a non-carrier-neutral
facility. They were approached this week for "DoS/DDoS protection" which
they could buy in X Mb/s, 2xX Mb/s or 4xX Mb/s scrubbing solutions.

Maybe I've been out of the running my larger Managed Server
Hosting Company too long, but wasn't the "non-elegant" solutions
something ISPs just "did"? Was it only DoS, and when it comes to 
DDoS they tell you its just too much to handle. And blocking how many
netblocks does an ISP consider "too many" before it tells the client
there is only so much it can do for them? Do people tell/give clients
their own solutions? (Like Zebra boxes that'll inject BGP into their
site)

They wanted me to come up with 3 reasons FOR the service,
3 against, and what I felt was a fair market value for this. I just need
to know if people still did that type of stuff for each other or if 
everything costs nowadays

Thanks, Tuc/TBOH



Email lists pertaining to NA colo sites?

2007-07-24 Thread Tuc at T-B-O-H.NET

Hi,

I was wondering if someone was running a single repository of
lists run by either Colo sites, or others in support of colo sites,
in the North America. (Like for 25 Broadway {Adam?}, or even more
specifically 118th, 5th floor, room 518 and anyone that might be in
that room in the next week or so. :) )  Maybe there is a general 
list where someone can post "Hey, I'm in 25B, 5th floor and I need
a patch cable" or even more specifically "Hey, I need someone who
can get to my cabinet at the specificied location and use a pen
to reboot one of my servers so I can save the $43.75 and not spend
$5 in gas, $6 for tolls, and $17 for parking to press a button, wait
30 seconds, and press again".

And I could tell you about large DC's that are charging premium
rates, had (admittedly) quarterly generator tests that ended up failing
and causing down time MULTIPLE TIMES too. Meanwhile the generator at my
parents house I had installed has weekly tests and runs fine, but I'm
waiting for that unbelievably cold unbelievably harsh winters day where
the power goes out and the generator fails... Because its a machine. It
has wear, it breaks. I don't know that I'd be comfortable with a full

It was just a joke, since the AS is getting high up there
in the 2 byte range (2/3's of the available ones down I think) and
was implying that moving to 4 byte would be as fast/efficient/complete
as going to IPV6 (Not...)

Do I or RR need dns clue?

2007-08-16 Thread Tuc at T-B-O-H

Hi,

Mail to RR users is getting refused due to PTR issues. I contacted
RR and explained that yea, one of our 2 DNS servers for the
IN-ADDR.ARPA is down, but the other is fine.  They said that 
I should either get the DNS server back up (Which of course
is already being worked on, was the minute it went down)
or delete it from ARIN IN-ADDR.ARPA records.

Isn't the whole point of multiple DNS servers that if one is down
the other can still answer queries? Or am I missing something
here???

Hi,

If its only 1 provider, then probably taking just "default route"
is necessary. If you have 2, then it depends on your setup.

I prefer to always take full routes from upstreams, as long as there
are good communities within that feed. This way I can vary what I accept
or don't accept without the need to constantly contact the upstream. If
not, then I have to fiddle more on my end, but I always keep the control.

I personally run 2 routers (Ok, switches with routing code, so
my memory footprint is severely limited) each with a link to a provider.
I ask for full routes PLUS default route. Internally, I discard /24's on
both links, and pref up the communities like customer and send them over
to the other router with the default route. Saves me alot of memory, plus
gives me alot of control.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Its alot of information.

Unfortunately, next time something like that happens I'm getting
out of there. It won't be my company, so I'm gonna get outta there. Living
at Ground Zero (1 BUILDING away before, a few blocks inside during as well as
after) was just plain stupid. No more Port Authority or Japanese pieces of
paper saying I was "Critical" to be down there and could come/go as I please.
No, I wouldn't be wheezing pretty bad this week if I was smart and did get out. 

Yea, next time.. I'm SO outta there. :) Hopefully someone else
read all this and did the right things.

Network meltdowns anywhere in US?

2008-05-28 Thread Tuc at T-B-O-H.NET
Hi,

Sorry, would have posted this elsewhere, but I can't get
to alot of places...

I originally started chasing not being able to get to 
71.74.56.243 (RR Mail server). I then found out neither L3 nor
my other connection saw it in the table. I checked a few other
router servers, some had it, some didn't. 

Now, though, I'm trying to get a few other places and
most of them oddly seem to hang off L3 (Like the outages
list. :) )

Any ideas of there is some meltdown happening 
in L3 or elsewhere?

No, no traceroutes since when I'd query BGP, it just said that the 
network
didn't exist in the table like :

***route-server***>sho ip bgp 71.74.56.243
% Network not in table
***route-server***>sho ip route 71.74.56.243

A bit more "clue"... :)

1) If its been discussed before, I was out that day... But it seems
that CERF NET route-server isn't quite authoritative:

route-server>sho ip bgp 204.107.90.128
% Network not in table

route-server>sho ip bgp

route-server>


2) The other route-server it wasn't showing up in is my "backup"
provider. I'm trying to get clarification, but I think my backup provider
relies too heavily on my primary provider. So yea, it would make sense, if
Level3 had an issue, that the provider USING L3 would have an issue.

3) I've gotten zip from L3 about any of this.



Can anyone atleast, once again, despite a certain list members
contentions, tell me I'm not crazy. That someone else SOMEWHERE saw it?
(Or more DIDN'T see RR. :) )

Thanks, Tuc

Hi,

Another case of getting much better help via NANOG than through a NOC.

Turns out there was an issue, and it subsequently was fixed in a
relatively small timeframe. Atleast a /20 of RR was not visible inside of L3,
I'm not sure if it was more. 

Thanks again to those people from L3 that DID help me who are on this
list.

Just be careful you pay 100% attention to what you want and what 
you get. I went for a disk drive, brought it upstairs, paid for it, and
when they were checking it they found the item in the box wasn't the same
I paid for (Serial numbers didn't match). I didn't even get out the store,

Hi,

We solved the problem of remembering what color was for what by
getting our suppliers to use clear jackets on the wiring. That way we
see whats actually going over the copper and can tell that way. It costs
us more, we do have a bit of an issue putting plugs on it, but in the long
run its definitely worth it. 

Otherwise, our old system was :

Black - Infrastructure/critical
Green - Colocation/Customer
White - KVM
Blue  - X-connect (Later changed to Orange when we went full fiber)
Yellow- Someone threw a spare patch cord up and didn't custom create/
cut it and if I find them I'm gonna create/cut them something!
White+Red spot or stripe - The junior guy was cutting KVM cables again,
expect a health benefit claim later in the day.

We also used the ID zip ties on each end if it was an X-over with
"X-over" written on it. All plugs had boots too.

This all should have been solved by allowing those who

originally requested :

There was a procedure, people followed it, and IANA
decided to go other ways with it. Now years later there is
all this red tape restricting things.

And if the "powers that be" decide to go back to

I think the point some people are trying to make is that a person could
pony up the fees, get a new TLD, and then EXPECT ${FORTUNE__COMPANY} to buy

It looks like Dan changed what it returns, and noclicky 1.00 gets

2nd Exploit for DNS Cache Poisoning - RELEASED

2008-07-24 Thread Tuc at T-B-O-H.NET
Hi,

Not sure if anyone has seen yet, but there is a 2nd
exploit being circulated. I just picked it up on metasploits
SVN trunk

The first was called "baliwicked_host", and the
description was :

This exploit attacks a fairly ubiquitous flaw in DNS implementations which 
Dan Kaminsky found and disclosed ~Jul 2008.  This exploit caches a single
malicious host entry into the target nameserver by sending random hostname
queries to the target DNS server coupled with spoofed replies to those
queries from the authoritative nameservers for that domain. Eventually, a 
guessed ID will match, the spoofed packet will get accepted, and due to the 
additional hostname entry being within bailiwick constraints of the original
request the malicious host entry will get cached.

The new one is called "baliwicked_domain" and its described
as :

This exploit attacks a fairly ubiquitous flaw in DNS implementations which 
Dan Kaminsky found and disclosed ~Jul 2008.  This exploit replaces the target
domains nameserver entries in a vulnerable DNS cache server. This attack works
by sending random hostname queries to the target DNS server coupled with spoofed
replies to those queries from the authoritative nameservers for that domain.
Eventually, a guessed ID will match, the spoofed packet will get accepted, and
the nameserver entries for the target domain will be replaced by the server
specified in the NEWDNS option of this exploit.
