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.

customer portal equipment edits


Gentlemen:

It has happened again.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx, customer 1478, requested a public routable IP address which is
in a different address class from what he was assigned at installation.
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<http://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<http://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.

Thanks.

---------------- Please reply above this line ----------------
Good afternoon Jay,

We were able to test from this customer's account, and the same issue that
was originally reported to us persisted. 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.

Subject: [AFMUG] Powercode oddity - Commerzbank Ip space

I am able to replicate a small issue we are having, trying to make the decision 
of whether it looks like a security issue or just a bug.

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<http://208.74.52.0/22>

Name

DKIB-USA

Handle

NET-208-74-52-0-1

Parent

NET208 (NET-208-0-0-0-0<http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-208-0-0-0-0.html>)

Net Type

Direct Assignment

Origin AS

Organization

Commerzbank AG (COMMER-109<http://whois.arin.net/rest/org/COMMER-109.html>)


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.
