SmokePing 3.0 Project
by Tobias Oetiker 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

Good Morning At SwiNOG-30, I was approached by several people, praising the merits of SmokePing and also wondering when version 3 will come out. I was happy for the praise, but did not have any concrete announcements for a new version, beyond bugfixes. So that got me thinking ... would there be sufficient support among SwiNOG members to raise the money for writing Smokeping version 3? Here is my feature shortlist: * non-blocking polling engine - by using an event loop at the heart of the polling engine, smokeping becomes much more scaleable, as it can wait for many probes to return information in parallel without forking, thus reducing the memory impact. * interactive charts as shown in the demo at SwiNOG without * a responsive UI working with mobile devices * the ability to pull in target information from a database My current estimate creating this rewrite of is around 50k CHF. If you are willing to chip in, and if you have requirements of your own, please be in touch. cheers tobi -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland www.oetiker.ch tobi(a)oetiker.ch +41 62 775 9902

Virtueller Server mit IPv6 Blocks von schweizer Internet Telcos
by LinuXperia 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Hallo. Ich bin seit Tagen auf der Suche nach einem Virtuellen Linux Server Angebot bei dem man zusätzlich noch IPv6 Adressen dazu kaufen bzw mieten kann. Am liebsten wäre es mir wenn das von einem Schweizer Internet Telco Anbieter angeboten wird. Ich habe schon das Angebot von Init7 auf Ihrer Webseite überprüft aber könnte dort kein Virtueller Server Angebot finden. Habe darauf Green.ch angeschrieben die wiederum bieten keine Möglichkeit weder IPv6 noch IPv4 Adressen dazukaufen zu können. > Antwort von green.ch zum Ticket [1006343-TT-359948] > Bei unseren virtuellen Servern ist es nicht möglich, IPv6-Adressen > dazu zu bestellen, die Konfigurationen sind fest gemäss den > verfügbaren Daten auf der Website. Gibt es echt keinen schweizer Telco Anbieter in der Schweiz der solch ein einfaches Angebot auf dem Markt für seine Kundschaft anbietet? Kannst fast nicht glauben! Besten Dank für eure hilfreiche Antworten im voraus.

## SwiNOG #30 - 04.11.2015 - Agenda ##
by Simon Ryf 17 Oct '16

17 Oct '16

Hello dear SwiNOG community We finally have the agenda released for SwiNOG #30 on the Friday 04.11.2015 on top of Gurten. Please register NOW. https://register.swinog.ch/ Agenda http://www.swinog.ch/meetings/swinog30/agenda.asp IoT Security and the Role of the Thing Manufacturer | Eliot Lear (Cisco Systems) While there are predictions of 50bn connected devices by 2020, we do not know how to count the number of types of things. Mechanisms are needed to facilitate connectivity of these devices in a safe and secure way. Both manufacturers and network managers can take steps to see that devices remain secure. This presentation will discuss those roles and two emerging concepts: a bootstrapping mechanism called ANIMA, and way to describe what communications a device is designed to have known as Manufacturer Usage Descriptions. StackStrom & ChatOps | David Gee (Brocade) Thank you to the internet, we have a button that can be used to order anything from Amazon. Facebook receives millions of pictures a day (mostly of cats doing things) and Twitter has infiltrated main stream media. Enterprise IT is falling like an empire once great, almost crumbling within from the pressure of change. Simplify the lifecycle of your cloud with Mirantis Cloud Platform (MCP) | Ivan Ostojic (Juniper) Mirantis brings their Openstack solution with MCP to a next level. To dramatically simplify the lifecycle process, MCP introduces containers orchestrated by Kubernetes. Additionally, a much more scalable SDN controller was needed whereby MCP replaced OVS Neutron by Juniper OpenContrail. This session will explain why Mirantis was looking for a new architecture and covers the details about MCP itself. Why you should take care of the network(s) around you or DDoS Suckz | Will van Gulik (IP-Max SA) Lesson learned from a DDoS at the end of 2015, and best practice to implement to make internet a better place. SwissIX Update | Ulf Kieber (SwissIX) SwissIX Update Whats new with RRDtool and other stories from Tobi Oetiker GitHub account | Tobi Oetiker (OETIKER+PARTNER AG) New tweaks and features of RRDtool and some fancy new tools released on my GitHub account Swiss NREN protection with DNS RPZ | Matthias Seitz (SWITCH) SWITCH has introduced a service based on DNS Response Policy Zone in the Swiss NREN. DNS RPZ extends the DNS with a firewall function that denies access to malicious domains. With this function, malware infection on users' devices and requests for phishing sites will be prevented. In addition, already infected systems can be detected. Furthermore, the users awareness is increased through redirecting the user to an information page. The DNS Toolbox | Jeroen Massar (Farsight Security, Inc.) Presenting a DNS Toolbox, various techniques to make your network safer for you and your users and that you likely already have installed: - RRL: Response Rate Limiting - RPZ: Response Policy Zones - dnstap: Tap the DNS - Passive DNS: View what the Internet has been doing I'll also explain how Passive DNS does involve minimal PII in the labels, but due to the location where one dnstaps does not affect privacy. RFC3021 | Silvan M. Gebhardt (Openfactory) I would like to share some of my experience with RFC3021 and I would like to hear a bit from the crowd how they stand to it and why and what they know about it. How scary is DNSSEC? | Massimiliano Stucchi (RIPE NCC) DNSSEC is a set of extensions for DNS to make it more secure. It involves cryptography, PKI, and a new set of tools to manage it. This talk tries to demistify all the myths about DNSSEC and show that it actually is simpler than it sounds by introducing some of the basics and providing a live example of two key rollovers on a real domain name done on stage. How to increase availability using ExaBGP | André Keller & Manuel Schweizer (VSHN & CloudScale.ch AG) Social Event | Everyone (SwiNOG Community) Yeah - you all know this one ;-) never gets boring Looking so forward to seeing all of you !!!!

Swisscom -> AWS outage 10.10.2016 (via NTT)
by Claudio Kuenzler 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Hello all, I'd like to know if anyone else experienced routing problems yesterday on October 10th 2016 from Swisscom networks to Amazon AWS (Ireland). We've had our server connections cut between 1400 and 1450. I'm pretty sure the problem was with NTT, which was the next hop after Swisscom. At 1450 someone (Swisscom or AWS?) changed the routing and the next hop after Swisscom changed to DTAG. Does anyone have more insights who "fixed" it yesterday? Swisscom only responded to our incident ticket that "Amazon uses loadbalancers and therefore several destination ip addresses" and "traceroute has changed since your screenshot" which is not helpful at all. Thanks in advance for any information. ck

E-Mail Hacks
by Mike Kellenberger 08 Oct '16

08 Oct '16

Hi all I might be slightly off-topic here, because it's not a network issue, but it might be of interest to some of you anyway and maybe you've had customers which were affected as well. I don't know if this ploy is new, but after having two customers affected within one week, I suspect it is. The customer receives an e-mail with an invoice from his supplier, which he trusts and has worked with in the past. Shortly after this e-mail he receives another e-mail from the same sender and in the exact same layout stating that the company has a new bank account and that this account should be used. The second e-mail is forged of course. We haven't beeen able to find out where the original mail gets captured (most likely on the suppliers client, because in one case, more than one customer of the supplier was affected). The fraudulent bank account was in UK in both cases, in one case the amount was around CHF 6K, where the UK authorities did not get active, in the second case it was a 6 digit amount... That case is still ongoing. The fraudulent bank account was already closed again in both cases when the customer realized that his transaction had gone to the wrong account (usually after the supplier asked if the money had not been transferred yet). Have you had similar cases? Regards, Mike -- Mike Kellenberger | Escapenet GmbH www.escapenet.ch +41 52 235 0700/04 Skype mikek70atwork

DDOS >1Tbps - Swiss-wide (regional) BGP propagation?!
by Fredy Kuenzler 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

Since we see >1Tbps DDOS attacs in the wild, I suppose out-of-the-box DDOS mitigation suppliers have lost this race. There is no operator in Switzerland which can handle 1Tbps DDOS attacks. When we saw DDOS against digitec.ch and others earlier this year, I was a bit surprised that none of the so called "experts" proposed regional BGP propagation as a remedy. Given that e-commerce such as digitec.ch is assumingly making 99.9% of the revenue within Switzerland, their prefix doesn't need to reachable from all over the world. If the prefix of a Swiss e-commerce would be reachable from Swiss broadband providers only, the DDOS is mitigated, as the vast majority of the botnet is lacking a route to the targeted victim IP address. To achieve this I think we need a collaborative community effort setting up a common procedure and define a BGP communitiy with the effect "do not announce beyond Switzerland". An e-commerce should be able to hit the button injecting this defined BGP community when under attack (or permanently, of course). I suppose to make this idea a success we need to have all major operators in Switzerland on board (3303, 6730, 6830) and I suppose the smaller operators will follow in their own interest to avoid blackholes. Anyone? I think it's good if a somewhat "neutral body" with decent BGP knowledge could take the lead for such a working group, maybe SWITCH or SwissIX? -- Fredy Kuenzler --------------------- Fiber7.

Swiss ISPs and IPv6 --- 2016 edition
by Jeroen Massar 20 Sep '16

20 Sep '16

As there is an upcoming SwiNOG.... lets throw some people under the bus before they arrive. Or at least allow them time to come up with more excuses. Some quotes from Swiss ISPs from the Call Your ISP page: https://www.sixxs.net/wiki/Call_Your_ISP_for_IPv6 8<---- "Currently, as demand for IPv6 is very low, we have no plans to introduce IPv6 native. "No plans to support IPv6 for our private and SoHo clients" "The plan is to move everyone on DSLite." "Provider info: IPv6 is "planned" and soon should get a priority status. When that "soon" will be is not yet known." "They know what IPV6 is, eventually they will provide it" ---->8 Come on folks, it is 2016! IPv6 is *20 years* old... Even Sky.uk was able to get it working[1]. Oh and note: Dual-stack IPv4 + IPv6, along with a /56 per user. It is not that hard to get right.... and yeah, you kinda had 20 years already to 'plan' for this.... Greets, Jeroen [1] https://corporate.sky.com/media-centre/news-page/2016/sky-completes-roll-ou…

Brocade MLXe: Random Linecard Reboot - anyone else?
by Fredy Kuenzler 18 Sep '16

18 Sep '16

Friday night we observed several Brocade MLXe linecards rebooting (several locations, i.e. Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Geneva), which caused network instability due to flapping iBGP etc. As of now we know that iWay and nine.ch suffered from similar issues in the same time window, and we believe that they use also Brocade MLXe. Tonight around 4 a.m. symptoms occurred again, on a lesser degree. nine.ch reports it too. For reference the tickets: http://www.init7.net/de/status/?ticket=10348 https://status.nine.ch/en/messages/544 https://www.iway.ch/iway/status/ Did anyone else observed similar symptoms? Since these routers operate in various locations and ASNs but are the same make/model I suppose it's a software security issue. Can malicious packets force a linecard reboot?
