Funny. Can you imagine in Microsoft had embedded something like that in Windows... Would not have taken long to own bitcoin.

I had one customer get the redirect and I went in and looked and he was on a completely wrong IP (in a subnet that I happened to be working on earlier that day and the evening before). He hadn't even logged into the customer portal. The logs didn't show any IP change, but clearly his IP was changed in the database, as he was working fine on the same IP for months and months. That issue and the incorrect assignments when a customer enters a new MAC seemed related to me.

Upon changing the address, he was assigned 104.152.40.91, which is an available address in the "Cullman Public" address range. However, when looking at the ARP response (because the customer is bridged to our main router), I saw another network device already had that IP address. So, I searched for that MAC address, which was 78:24:AF:7B:49:38 , using equipment search, which came back to customer 514, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, who had logged into the customer portal on January 29 to install a new router. Upon changing his MAC address, powercode assigned him 104.153.191.25, which is not even in any of our network address ranges. It belongs to: Source: whois.arin.net IP Address: 104.153.191.25 Name: IMDC-KC-LOOPBACKS Handle: NET-104-153-191-0-1 Registration Date: 2/2/15 Range: 104.153.191.0-104.153.191.31 Org: Iron Mountain Data Center Org Handle: IMIML Address: One Federal Street City: Boston State/Province: MA Postal Code: 02111 Country: UNITED STATES This is very similar to our new public IP range which is 104.152.40.0/22 Incidently, it appears this customer was assigned 104.152.40.91 before he attempted to edit his equipment and was changed to 104.153.191.25. Also of note, it appears this only affected the GUI/web interface of powercode, and the router/bmu continued to assign him 104.152.40.91. I will now have to reassign xxxxxxxxx a new IP address since the web/gui gave his IP address to someone else. I hope this information helps you to figure out what is happening. I am still concerned we have some kind of database issue. Weird things like this seem to be happening a lot.

We logged into the customer portal, changed the MAC address by one digit, and immediately the customer was issued an IP address of 192.170.241.173. After changing the MAC address back to his current valid one, we then had to manually clear out his IP address in Powercode in order for the BMU to hand out a reservation for 192.168.3.36 via DHCP. At this point, we are going to contact our network engineers for assistance in troubleshooting why this customer would receive a 192.170.xx.xx reservation, as this IP does not fit within any ranges defined in Powercode. We will update you as soon as we've had a chance to go over this with them. -------------------------------------------------- Have you visited our knowledge base?

Through powercode, there are two ways to update equipment, through our interface, where we select all the details and through the customer portal where all the customers can do is update their MAC address. no problems with our end. However, when a customer updates their MAC address, it is assigning IP space that apparently belongs to this Commerzbank IP space 208.74.54.100 and 208.74.54.99. This IP space is absolutely not in our system, and wouldnt route naturally on our network Net Range 208.74.52.0 - 208.74.55.255 CIDR 208.74.52.0/22 Name DKIB-USA Handle NET-208-74-52-0-1 Parent NET208 (NET-208-0-0-0-0) Net Type Direct Assignment Origin AS Organization Commerzbank AG (COMMER-109) My initial thoughts are this is some bug in powercode. Paranoid me is that our system is somehow compromised and rerouting illegitimate traffic somehow. Customer is down, so not through them. but something like TOR rerouting or some other magician script for the axis of evil. Anybody have any ideas on this? I am debating taking our billing server offline, but would hate to take such an extreme measure for what could amount to nothing more than a fat finger from a programmer. -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team. -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team. -- Simon Westlake Powercode - The smart choice in ISP billing and OSS powercode.com P: 920-351-1010 E: [email protected] -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team. -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
