Tor-nodes...
by Pascal Mainini 23 Oct '10

23 Oct '10

Dear SWINOGers! at the recent SWINOG-specialevent, I talked with a few of you about running tor-exit-nodes. For those not having talked to me or been there, I was asking on behalf of the Swiss Privacy Foundation [1], of which I'm part. We are an approved non-profit organisation in various cantons of Switzerland and operate services that help improve privacy and support the right of freedom to speech, besides providing workshops on related topics. (that was not intended to be some marketing-bubble ;-) At the event, I promised to post on the list a bit more in detail what we plan to do, so that those interested can contact me again - and maybe others can jump up if they like to. We are currently operating two tor-exit-nodes (refer to [2] for informations about tor), together with our german friends from the german privacy foundation [3], these exit nodes are running in germany. For various reasons, we want to start running tor exit nodes in Switzerland by next year and thus are looking for interested parties here, who would be willing to support us. That's basically the story. In technical terms, this means, that we're looking for - either rackspace and connectivity - or possibly some virtually hosted variant (however running an exit-node is quite cpu-intensive and thus probably not really what one wants to do on a shared server). We think that 2-5 rackunits would suffice for our needs in the comming 2-5 years. Of course, this is also quite bandwidth-consuming, however we're capable of limiting that down to almost any number (where too small numbers of course don't make too much sense) - one just needs to be aware, that it's a "full-on" service, generating traffic around the clock. We have some limited budget available as well, which basically consists of the fees and donations to our association. Particularly, as far as possible, we're looking for ISPs with own interests in such technologies, as - like with lots of other things - running tor-services also has a darker side. Of course, the anonymity won't only be used by fine people for doing good things. We are fully aware of that, we believe that supporting the higher goals like anonymity and freedom of speech by far outweighs the abuse of such technologies. It is almost certain, however, that such a server will cause some troubles during it's existence. These troubles can probably range from abuse complaints up to seizure of the server by authorities. For countering that, we do everything we do as transparent as possible. We are willing and want to take over the full abuse-handling for the IPs in question, the machines are specially prepared to show according informations on different ports, appropriate DNS- and WHOIS-entries should be made. I think that's all that needs to be said for now, please apologise if it got a bit lengthy. If you are interested and willing to participate on the subject, please drop me a mail, so we can fix further details and talk about. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work all of you do daily!

RANCID alternative
by Stanislav Sinyagin 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

hi all, I'm currently working on a new open-source project. Many of you know the imperfections of RANCID software, and this project is made to dramatically change this. In README section at http://github.com/ssinyagin/gerty you will find the short concept overview and more in-depth documentation. At the moment the proof of concept is ready: it can store Cisco configuration into files, as well as output of other commands, such as "show isis neighbors". It will be polished and finalized during next months, and I'll be able to present it at a SwiNOG meeting in Spring or Summer. your feedback will be appreciated. cheers, stan

DNS: Is a SOA required?
by Benoit Panizzon 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hello I quite often stumble over DNS entries without SOA. $ dig hamedicshopere.ru ; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P3 <<>> hamedicshopere.ru ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 58271 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;hamedicshopere.ru. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: hamedicshopere.ru. 300 IN A 109.196.142.11 ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: hamedicshopere.ru. 343295 IN NS ns2.dnssubmit.com. hamedicshopere.ru. 343295 IN NS ns1.dnsonic.com. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: ns2.dnssubmit.com. 108 IN A 109.196.142.11 ns1.dnsonic.com. 108 IN A 109.196.142.12 Let's try to find the hostmaster or serial or whatever of that zone: $ dig SOA hamedicshopere.ru ; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P3 <<>> SOA hamedicshopere.ru ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 64992 ;; flags: qr aa; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;hamedicshopere.ru.

Using domain server: Name: ns1.dnsonic.com. Address: 109.196.142.12#53 Aliases: kjhsdf.hamedicshopere.ru has address 109.196.142.11 Well, one server is reachable and apparently has a wildcard entry for the hosts of that zone. But I also don't get the SOA information: $ host -t soa hamedicshopere.ru ns2.dnssubmit.com. ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached a dig +trace also ends at the ru. SOA and entries pointing to the two NS. So what is broken with that zone (and many many more ru. and cn. zones). Or is it OK for a DNS Server not to return any SOA information? Isn't that mandatory?

Re: [swinog] Strange connectivity issues

Problem solved, thanks for all your tests! An old bogon-list version managed to sneak into one of routers, which was blocking 46.0.0.0/8 and cablecom has been using 46.126.128.0 - 46.127.127.255 since a short while...

Haven't been able to pinpoint the problem yet, most of the clients are using Cablecom as their access-provider, but it can't be a problem for all cablecom users or our phone would be ringing non-stop.
