well, looking at the ayatollah's website and invoking google translate there's this language: ... different mechanisms to secure and protect their users against the moral and psychological damage this type of service, including access to information, videos and photos from immoral and inhuman, rumors and seduction, spying and undermining the foundations of the family ... so, not a lot goofier than the objection to .xxx made by the usg, or available at most media outlets that sell the meme that the internet causes shit to happen. -e On 8/31/14 10:35 PM, Jay Ashworth wrote: Cause it's a long weekend, and why shouldn't it be whackier than normal. - Forwarded Message - From: PRIVACY Forum mailing list priv...@vortex.com To: privacy-l...@vortex.com Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2014 11:34:16 PM Subject: [ PRIVACY Forum ] An Iranian Grand Ayatollah Issues Fatwa Stating High Speed Internet is against Sharia An Iranian Grand Ayatollah Issues Fatwa Stating High Speed Internet is against Sharia (Iran Human Rights): http://www.iranhumanrights.org/2014/08/makarem-internet/ A Grand Ayatollah in Iran has determined that access to high-speed and 3G Internet is against Sharia and against moral standards.

However if I'd be supporting my family with this type of business model, I would simply appear to be very bad at it, not evil. So I would claim that we didn't do anything bad here, it was one of our customer (as they do have different origin AS), and when pointed out, that this ASN has never been your customer and cannot be, as completely different physical location, I'd simply say we seeme to have verify-first-as turned off, so it could have been anyone, and we're hard at work resolving it.

Re: Prefix hijacking, how to prevent and fix currently
Loose mode RPKI: - verified or unknown less-specific route is preferable to failing more-specific Or said otherwise when choosing route from Adj-RIBs-In to Loc-RIB longest match is not done to whole population, population is first divided to 'verified', 'unknown' and 'failed' routes, and longest match is done for each sub-population in order, until match is found. Of course, a PRO you are seeking to achieve is: If Org. A is parent and upstream of Org. B, and Org. A has created a ROA for its own less specific, while no ROA has been created (due to negligence, oversight, etc.) for the suballocation (more specific) of Org. B, and if Org. A happens *not* to announce its less specific, then Org. B's announcement of the more specific from its own AS will be treated softly. That is, Org. B's announcement will be 'Invalid' but nevertheless the route is accepted/installed by any receiving AS that is using the 'Loose' mode. This is the benign/beneficial use of 'Loose' mode. But the CON here is: For instance, Org. C owns a prefix but has not yet deployed any services using it. Org. C created a ROA (perhaps even an ROA with AS0) purely with the intent to make sure that no one else can get away with announcing any subprefix (more specific) under its prefix unless they have a ROA for the subprefix. The 'Loose' mode obviously defeats this. Some Org. D can maliciously announce a subprefix under Org. C's prefix, and get away with it due to the 'Loose' mode. So there will be this tension between the PRO and CON of your 'Loose' mode. I think, 'Loose mode', if used at all, should not be used beyond a short grace period. Beyond the grace period, network operators and their customers will be well advised to adhere to the following from RFC 7115: Before issuing a ROA for a super-block, an operator MUST ensure that all sub-allocations from that block that are announced by other ASes, e.g., customers, have correct ROAs in the RPKI.
