Greetings everyone!
Team Cymru has been tracking bogons since 2002, and announcing them to this mailing list since January 2003, but it is time to say farewell to the mailing list. As you are likely aware, in February of this year IANA allocated the final five /8 networks from the free pool. While individual RIRs continue to hold considerable IPv4 space, the purpose of this list has been to make announcements regarding these "traditional" bogon /8s, and thus, it is time to bring it to a close.
That said, we continue to provide a wealth of bogon information in our bogon reference pages:
https://www.team-cymru.org/Services/Bogons/
and we continue to track the relatively new "fullbogons" for both IPv4 and IPv6. For those not familiar with fullbogons, this project tracks unallocated IPv4 and IPv6 space at a more granular level than the traditional bogons, making use of the RIRs' lists of delegated prefix and calculating the inverse to list those prefixes which have not been delegated, and thus should not be seen on the Internet. This list is quite rapidly changing and updated multiple times per day, so we strongly advise that it be consumed via an automatically updated method, such as by querying our DNS zone or peering with our fullbogon route servers via BGP.
All of our bogon information will continue to be maintained and updated for the forseeable future. We also do not have any immediate plans to shut down the traditional bogon BGP routeservers or remove that information from our web site, though we do expect it to remain largely static, barring any changes to the martians by RFC activity.
Don't forget that Team Cymru is more than just "the bogon people" too! We provide a wide range of insight designed to help improve lives and keep your networks safe and secure. I'll list several projects involving sharing this insight below, and you can always find more on our web sites:
https://www.team-cymru.org/ - Team Cymru Community Services https://www.dragonresearchgroup.org/ - The Dragon Research Group
TC Console is a web based user interface designed for network administrators/operators, providing a variety of Team Cymru's insight as it applies to your specific network, including both near real time alerting and historical data. More details can be found here:
https://www.team-cymru.org/Services/TCConsole/
The Malware Hash Registry provides a look-up service for SHA1s and MD5s of potentially malicious binaries, allowing you to find the last time we analyzed a file, and an approximate percentage of anti-virus engines that detected the file as malicious. MHR's companion tools include WinMHR for scanning of Windows systems, a Mac OS X MHR Dashboard Widget, and a Firefox MHR add-on for MHR scanning of downloaded files. You can find more details on the MHR project and these companions at the following URLs:
https://www.team-cymru.org/Services/MHR/ https://www.team-cymru.org/Services/MHR/WinMHR/ https://www.team-cymru.org/Services/MHR/Widget/ https://www.team-cymru.org/Services/MHR/FirefoxMHR/
The IP to ASN Mapping project provides an easy-to-use set of interfaces to answer the question of "who routes the network containing A.B.C.D?" These interfaces include traditional TCP/43 WHOIS, DNS, and HTTP/HTTPS. A wide range of data can be returned in response to your queries, and both bulk and individual query styles are supported. Check out all the details at:
https://www.team-cymru.org/Services/ip-to-asn.html
Finally, Team Cymru is all about sharing insight, and we're doing that in the social networking space as well! We provide many nuggets of insight and interesting security news stories via Twitter, and offer a regular video show on YouTube sharing insight, experience, and advice on a wide variety of security topics. We also provide an Internet Security News Feed in cooperation with E-Secure-IT, keeping you on top of all the events in the Internet Security world. You can check all of these out at the URLs below:
http://twitter.com/teamcymru http://www.youtube.com/teamcymru https://www.team-cymru.org/News/
We appreciate all of your support over the years, and look forward to continuing to provide actionable and useful insight to improve lives for many years to come. If you have any questions, would like more information about any of our services, etc, you are always welcome to contact team-cymru@cymru.com and we'll make sure your inquiry gets to the right place!
Best regards, Tim Wilde for the Team Cymru NOC and Engineering Team
