Or he may have saved future planes from crashing.  He did try to warn them and 
nobody seemed to listen.  Based on my experience with management and the fact 
the FBI thinks he flew the plane sideways, I believe he could do it.

But when the FMS sends a command to an aileron, I will be gobsmacked to

However, if there is some kind of ethernet port on the FMS that could be used

[AFMUG] visual ospf mapping

2015-05-18 Thread That One Guy /sarcasm
Does the dude have any method to indicate OSPF paths visually? We are far
from implentation, so its no priority, Im just curious how best to monitor
such things.


I havent messed with the dud much before, always had problems. But
installed it the other day and had it scan the office network. how long has
it been mapping physical ports? I thought that was like a buttered bee.

 something that I am sure would make any employee rethink there career

  From all the anouncments and changes I would suspect that there is a

Most likely it isn't the control systems they took control of.  Probably the 
GPS.  Todays jets are pretty simple.  You learned to do all of it manually but 
in reality most pilots today just take off and land and that is about it.  Rest 
of it is all automatic by tuning in alt/speed and nav points.  In fact most of 
it is just preparing the nav,  frequencies and approach plates.  So if they can 
get into the gps system then they could push new coords in.  

There are some wireless comms as well that can pull and push information to 
engines and other systems.  How that gets distributed inside the plane is 
probably all switched and vlan'ed as Josh said.

Protect yourself.

What we do with pfsense is we created a group for bad users and put their IP 
in the group. This firewall group blocks incoming 
ssh/ntp/dns/ftp/telnet/upnp/etc.

If it's a problem, they'll call us back (finally). If not, the problem is still 
resolved as far as we care.

Re: [AFMUG] how much to worry about SSDP vulnerable customers

2015-05-18 Thread Duncan Scott
We have seen DDOS attacks using port 1900 which max out the customers
upload. This isn't terrible for our network, but the customers
connection doesn't work very well.

We generally don't block ports, but I made an exception for 1900 and
5351. We  block UDP traffic inbound to these ports. The chances of
DDOS/abuse is too high, and it is documented as a port used for UPnP and
NAT-PMP which is not supposed to be public. The chances of any other
service using these is pretty low.

We've not had any complaints.

[AFMUG] Fwd: Usage of Teredo and IPv6 for P2P on Windows 10 and Xbox One

Subject: Usage of Teredo and IPv6 for P2P on Windows 10 and Xbox One 

Hi Everyone - 

We've had very fruitful discussions with members of this community on Xbox One 
networking behavior, in particular concerning P2P multiplayer gaming activity. 
In an effort to continue that useful dialogue, we wanted to provide an 
informational update for Xbox One, but also share relevant details on upcoming 
Windows functionality in terms of Teredo and IPv6 usage. We also include some 
observations about IPv4 and IPv6 health that may be broadly interesting, 
especially as it pertains to network readiness for Xbox multiplayer via IPv6. 


New Xbox experiences launching on Windows 10 will use Teredo for P2P 
communications 
 
Earlier this year we announced some Xbox functionality coming to Windows 10. 
One key feature of Windows 10 is enabling multiplayer gaming and chat 
functionality between Xbox One consoles and Windows 10 devices. This 
functionality on Windows 10 will behave similarly to how multiplayer works 
today on Xbox One, using Teredo for NAT traversal and IPsec for security. When 
used for Xbox Live enabled experiences, the Windows 10 Teredo client will 
prefer originating traffic from the IANA-registered port, 3074, when available. 
More detailed guidance on Xbox One behavior is linked at the bottom of this 
email. 

It also should be noted that Windows supports a broad range of applications and 
a huge portfolio of great games outside of the Xbox Live ecosystem. In general, 
Microsoft encourages broad adoption of the recommendations in RFC 4787, RFC 
6092, and RFC 6888 to maximize the viability of P2P technologies for all. 


IPv4's P2P health is degrading 
 
Qualitative and quantitative evidence available to us indicates that overall 
availability of functioning P2P connectivity on the IPv4 Internet is decreasing 
over time. In particular we are concerned that IPv4 address scarcity is forcing 
many small and medium market network operators to deploy carrier-grade NAT 
functionality. 

This often results in end-users being intractably stuck behind strict 
networks with degraded multiplayer experiences as a result. Healthy, 
standards-compliant IPv6 access is broadly needed, sooner rather than later. 
However, we have identified a few areas of concern in regard to IPv6 support 
that will hinder the efficacy of enabling multiplayer on IPv6. 


IPv6 is being deployed, but not perfectly, jeopardizing IPv6 P2P 
- 
Across the Xbox One customer base, in particular for customers who play 
multiplayer games, we observe that a substantial minority (around 20%) of 
devices have native IPv6 configured. This represents a much higher IPv6 
penetration rate than Microsoft's other products and services report, as well 
as public data from other sources. 

However we have numerous concerns about IPv6's growth. We are often finding 
that retail customer premise equipment is configured with IPv6 disabled by 
default, requiring user action to enable. 

We've also encountered a very small set of reports where IPv6 latency and 
bandwidth performance are suboptimal compared to IPv4. Reports of this nature 
have usually focused on streaming media experiences and user concern that IPv6 
is slower than IPv4 (i.e. I get 1080P resolution with IPv4, and 720P with 
IPv6). In the rare cases where these reports have been substantiated, the 
primary culprit has been differences in deployed CDN support. 

Also, some networking hardware and operators apply firewall policy to the IPv6 
path contrary to RFC 6092 recommendations. Of particular concern are 
configurations where unsolicited inbound IKE/IPsec traffic is not permitted in 
the default operating mode. Growth of these non-conformant configurations puts 
the P2P benefit of the next generation Internet in jeopardy. It would be 
incredibly regrettable if IPv6 necessitated the high level of configuration and 
inefficiency currently required for IPv4. 


Deprecating public Teredo servers for Windows Vista and Windows 7 
 
On May 4th, 2015, we began deactivating Microsoft's publicly available Teredo 
servers currently configured as the default servers for Windows Vista and 
Windows 7 clients. This is a result of limited usage on those platforms and our 
desire to focus our operations on Xbox One and Windows 10. 


If you read this far, you are awesome. 

We will likely request a NANOG presentation slot later in the year to discuss 
these points, but we want to make sure we have sufficiently interesting and new 
things to discuss before swallowing up people's time. 

Network operators and CPE manufactures are encouraged to reach out to our team 
at xboxter...@microsoft.com with operational questions.

[AFMUG] how much to worry about SSDP vulnerable customers

I finally started getting ShadowServer reports which are nice.

One thing I notice is that about 5% of customers still have routers with 
SSDP (the discovery protocol for UPnP) exposed on the WAN side.  This 
despite the fact that I scanned the network earlier this year and sent 
notices to every single customer with this vulnerability.  It tells me very 
few did anything about it.  Most of these are DLink DIR-615 routers, and

My question:  is this serious enough to worry about?  Should I just wait for

Re: [AFMUG] how much to worry about SSDP vulnerable customers

2015-05-18 Thread Mike Hammett
From their e-mail list: 


We do support an option along the lines of what you are asking. 

We have an interface up to pull the .csv-files from 
https://dl.shadowserver.org/reports/ (down at the moment, planned maintenance - 
should be up again tonight ) 

In order to be able to log in to that interface, you need to change your 
mailman password globally, by logging in to your account using the url listed 
in the monthly mail.shadowserver.org mailing list memberships reminder, hit log 
in, and check the 'change globally' button in the 'change password' field. An 
hour or so after updating the mailinglist password you should be able to log in 
to https://dl.shadowserver.org/reports/ . 

You can either script up pulling down the csvs, or I can ship you a script for 
pull down the csv on a linux host that one of our report recipients wrote and 
shared with us.

 Truly my personal guess about what is going on after all of the events

 something that I am sure would make any employee rethink there career
 options. Just by the way they seem to be leaving and very open about
 accepting new offers, but not certain what they are wanting to do going
 on. I have been in the position of buyout and mergers from large
 companies before. It usually means that key employees get large bonuses
 to stick around and support transitioning. I as well had to decide to
 stick around or leave and have done both.

  From all the anouncments and changes I would suspect that there is a
 very good chance this could end up going either good or bad. If it is a
 larger company with a great deal of resources they may take powercode
 and greatly improve the product or stick it on the shelf and let it rot.
 I would hope it would be for the better.

  Subject: [AFMUG] powercode

  so i was trolling through the forum just now, it's one of a few places i like 
to hit several times a week to see whats been posted, done, etc.

  i've noticed king alex (as i've named him) seems to be a new guy and has 
also been trolling through the forum - even old posts - and answering a ton of 
questions.   so far, he seems to be really knowledgeable in sql.

  ...and knowledgeable in the database (since he's answering requests - both 
new and old - for how to get custom data out of the db)

  anyone know how long alex has worked there?

[AFMUG] AirRouter firmware

2015-05-18 Thread CARL PETERSON
Does anyone have standard UBNT Airrouter firmware they can send me?  Something 
after XM.v5.5.2 but before 5.5.8.  I’,m getting a bad image message when trying 
to update.  Looking for something intermediate. 

Thanks,

Its standard firmware shared across all XM hardware. Make sure you aren't 
trying to upgrade from the upload config button.

We've seen this in a small handful of cases. The end-user impact is that 
it eats their upstream bandwidth. In the cases that I've seen we have 
been able to update the firmware, so I guess they all had been using the

My question:  is this serious enough to worry about?  Should I just

I guess another solution would be to block ports 1900/2049/5783 but 
these might be legitimately in use as ephemeral ports and I don't like 
blocking high numbered ports.

[AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature

2015-05-18 Thread Forrest Christian (List Account)
What is the lowest temperature that each of you would normally expect to
see in your enclosures?

The reason I'm asking is that I'm in the process of developing up a few new
products.

To date, all of the packetflux products are designed with components rated
-40 to +85C (I.E way cold to way hot).I'd like to retain this rating,
but I'm running into a minor snag:

For storage, I'm planning on integrating a SD card (probably microSD) in a
socket.   I only need a GB or so, and SD card memory is inexpensive at that
range.

Unfortunately, all the reasonably priced SD cards are only rated down to
about -25C or -13F. which are about ~$3 in qty.   Industrial temperature
range ones which are good down to -40C/F are available but they add at
least $30 to the cost for non-name brand, and even more for known brands.
When you're talking about a $100 end-user price, a $30 1GB SD card seems
excessive - and probably isn't even possible if I want to meet the $100
price with some margin.

So, I'm currently playing the 'what options do I have' game.   I hate to
ship a product only rated down to -25C/-13F, but I know for at least a
large chunk of my customer base they never see below this temperature,
especially when you add a watt of power dissipation in the case with the
device.  Which leads me back to my original question:  What's the lowest
temperature most people would expect to see inside their enclosures.

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature

2015-05-18 Thread Mathew Howard
Yeah... I have no idea if it would be practical, or even work... but it's
an idea.

I can't imagine that -13F would be a problem inside an enclosure around
here, since they're normally going to be enough electronics in there to
make a fair amount of heat, but if there was an extended power outage or
something like that, it could certainly happen... and that's really not
when you want stuff failing.

  Ok, but Forrest is using all industrial components that are rated to
 -40C.  Are you saying he should add a resistor just to pre-heat the SD slot?

 ...ok maybe you're on to something there.  How about that Forrest?  Would
 a 10cent resistor and 2 minute pre-boot warmup eliminate any issue?

 easily -15F. But I think your -13F is probably OK.

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature

2015-05-18 Thread Mark Radabaugh
-13F would be the minimum I would expect to see.   That is pretty much 
the minimum OAT here and the enclosures are usually at least 10F warmer.


I would expect internal heating to keep the SD warm.   What is the 
failure if the SD card is too cold?   The unit won't boot until it warms 
up?   I could live with that in a cold start situation.

There are solutions, it just comes down to bits per dollar.

A SD card + socket probably costs around $5-6 to implement, including
card.   For that you get around 4GB (4096MB) or so.  Plus if you're picky
about the brand you can get a card with built-in wear leveling, etc, so you
don't have to worry about that stuff.  But you have the temperature issue.

For the same price, you only get 32MB (0.032GB) of soldered in memory.
Would 32MB be enough?  Probably, but there are a *lot* of things you can do
if you have seemingly unlimited storage.

other end?  I have limited experience with the EPMP stuff but so far it is 
performing well.  We even had a 7 mile shot without a dish for a short time 
that was -72 but we went ahead and dished it.  I am installing this link 
tomorrow and it is  a long drive to the site.  I just dont want to have it be a 
problem after I drive 2 1/2 hours back.

It is very remote on the dished end but somewhat in a town on the AP end.
I've done FSK for years but the EPMP is pretty new to us.

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature

2015-05-18 Thread Forrest Christian (List Account)
There's a lot of things along those lines:

The current sitemonitor base unit has 128KB of program memory, 3808 *bytes*
(not kb, not mb) of RAM, and an external 1MB flash storage used for
configuration and web page storage.   I haven't consumed the entire 1MB
flash, but that's largely because of the other two limits, although the new
web interface might make a dent in this.

I'm now working with a newer processor, it has 2 banks of 1MB each of
program memory (primary and secondary for firmware updates), and 512K of
RAM.   The program memory can also be used for configuration and web page
storage.

A lot of the stuff we wanted to do (traps, etc,) just didn't fit in the
older processor.   The newer one obviously has a lot more room for growth -
but when you start talking about things like SNMP traps, native IPv6 stack,
https://, etc, that just need to be done, you can gobble a lot of that
memory without thinking.   Then you start saying things like system logs,
historical graphs, firmware files, etc., and all of a sudden that 1MB
isn't enough.   So, you need some additional storage.  With a SD card, 4GB
is enough that in this application you could think 'essentially
limitless'.  Which is how I got to this question.

Just to be clear, I have a different product (than a base 3) which we're
close to releasing.  In fact, we had hoped to get it out the door by the
end of June, but I think this will slip a bit.   I figured I'd rather put
this new processor in something a bit less risky and a bit lower volume
than the base 3 until we had some experience with it.  If it works well, it
will form the basis for the next iteration of network-connected PacketFlux
products.  If not, we might be looking for something different, although it
will be hard to find something with the power consumption limits I've

 Perfect example is the throughput monitoring statistics on Canopy. It

 Let me give you another example pertaining to the SiteMonitor in
 particular. If I could have a log of the sync pulse status on a

 SyncInjectors, and it's not the SyncPipes either. But I wouldn't need this
 stored permanently. In RAM is good enough. I just can't/don't want to do
 SNMP polling of the SiteMonitor every second or two, or five. And 10
 seconds is too long, 5 minutes is definitely too long.

 But for something such as this, you could send an SNMP trap (I know, I

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature

2015-05-18 Thread Forrest Christian (List Account)
Let me explain it this way:

Because I'm worried about the reliability of the SD card, I'm not likely to
prevent basic operation and general operation if it fails.  There's going
to be sufficient memory otherwise for the device to run and operate
correctly.

The purpose of the additional memory is for various large data storage.  An
example would be if this hardware made it into a site monitor Base unit,
being able to keep all of the firmware images for all of the expansion
module types on the SD card.  The unit would then pull from there (much
faster) to upgrade expansion modules in a fraction of the time.   Another
example would be supporting email notifications for events - i.e. the
temperature is too cold.   Without that functionality, the enhanced
features would not be available.More applicable to the current design,
there's been some requests for on-device logging of enough data so that
certain values would have historical graphs.  And so on.

This thread is definitely giving me a lot of things to think about...

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature

2015-05-18 Thread Forrest Christian (List Account)
Just to add a couple random thoughts here...

1) Part of my concern is not knowing the cold failure modes.   If you
attempt to write to a card when it's cold do you destroy the card?   Or
does getting too cold by itself cause data loss.   If I knew for instance
that as long as I didn't write to the card below say -10F, I just would
read a temperature sensor near the card.

2) I hate heaters.  However, there's about 1W dissipated in the new
product, so there is some internal heating.

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature

Yeah, that could be useful. But why not just store stuff like this in 
RAM? Perfect example is the throughput monitoring statistics on Canopy. 
It obviously doesn't persist across reboots. I know you probably don't 
have a lot of RAM to work with though.


Let me give you another example pertaining to the SiteMonitor in 
particular. If I could have a log of the sync pulse status on a 
SyncInjector for the last 15 minutes (or 30 minutes, or an hour).. on a 
1 or 2 second interval, I could prove to Cambium that their code is 
broken on the 3.6 450 and it is NOT the SyncInjector. I already know 
it's not the SyncInjectors, and it's not the SyncPipes either. But I 
wouldn't need this stored permanently. In RAM is good enough. I just 
can't/don't want to do SNMP polling of the SiteMonitor every second or 
two, or five. And 10 seconds is too long, 5 minutes is definitely too long.


But for something such as this, you could send an SNMP trap (I know, I 
know) when the 1PPS active value goes to zero, almost instantly. Just sayin.

Can't help with the LP Monitor, but here's my Control Sequence for a 2

Relay 5 disconnects all load from the panel, Relay 6 controls

[AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature

2015-05-18 Thread Vince West
Is there no solution for embedded memory instead of a card slot? I am
assuming it is cost prohibitive or it does not work for your project.

That being said there have been days in the winter where we see -5° for
days in a row. It doesn't happen often. Even with heat generated from
equipment, I am not sure how well it would work or how long it would last
being so close to the limit for extended periods of time.

[AFMUG] 15 mile EPMP link 2.4

2015-05-18 Thread Craig House
Anyone have an idea what kind of reliability/ signal I might see from a 15 mile 
EPMP 2.4 link  Dished at 150' on a tower to a 90 degree sector at 255' on the 
other end?  I have limited experience with the EPMP stuff but so far it is 
performing well.  We even had a 7 mile shot without a dish for a short time 
that was -72 but we went ahead and dished it.  I am installing this link 
tomorrow and it is  a long drive to the site.  I just dont want to have it be a 
problem after I drive 2 1/2 hours back.

It is very remote on the dished end but somewhat in a town on the AP end.
I've done FSK for years but the EPMP is pretty new to us.

Ok, but Forrest is using all industrial components that are rated to 
-40C.  Are you saying he should add a resistor just to pre-heat the SD slot?


...ok maybe you're on to something there.  How about that Forrest? Would 
a 10cent resistor and 2 minute pre-boot warmup eliminate any issue?

Re: [AFMUG] Enclosure low temperature

2015-05-18 Thread Ken Hohhof
I would agree with George’s numbers.  Some of our smaller enclosures don’t have 
much thermal mass or internal heating.  With the crazy weather extremes, we 
could conceivably get down to –25F inside the box for a day, especially the 
ones we purposely put on the north side of a grain bin to shield them from the 
summer sun.

My question would be, what happens if it gets that cold?  Lose some data?  Lose 
the firmware?  Permanently damage the device?  I could live with some data loss 
as a result of a record temperature day.  But I wouldn’t want to go out and 
replace a failed unit when it’s that cold.

Hi Craig,

I would suggest that you use the link planner software located in support

It will give you the best info you can in regards to your link.
You can also play what if 

We don't do much with 2.4ghz (too much noise), mostly 5ghz, for a 15 mile link 
in 5ghz, we would use 3ft dishes for best performance, 2ft dish would work too.
