"suspended service for all Cogent-registered IP address blocks" may be
causing a bit of confusion since ARIN offers many services.

>From your response, it sounds like it's just an ACL to filter inbound p43
traffic to ARIN's whois service, from Cogent allocated prefixes.  ARIN is
in the best position to tell who is directly scraping their db and whether
this is an effective counter measure.

Recent changes would show up easiest in bulk whois data.  It's not clear
from your message whether they had a bulk whois agreement in place and the
status of that type of access.  If so, revoking the API key would be a
better restriction mechanism than filtering prefixes from reaching
accountws.arin.net

I haven't look at where ARIN's TAL data is hosted, again depending on
how/where it's hosted and how a filter is implemented, it may or may not
impact access to the data.

deny $TOU_Violator any port 43
deny $TOU_Violator  accountws.arin.net
deny $TOU_Violator any

These all have varying levels of impact.  On the one hand I can understand
not wanting to disclose the specific action taken, on the other hand it
would be interesting to know what the scope of responses are for different
types of abuse.

Re: Spoofing ASNs (Re: SNMP DDoS: the vulnerability you might not know you have)

2013-08-22 Thread Heather Schiller
This is the RFC that is being violated:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5625#section-6.2

6.2 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5625#section-6.2.  Interface Binding

   Some gateways have been observed to have their DNS proxy listening on
   both internal (LAN) and external (WAN) interfaces.  In this
   configuration, it is possible for the proxy to be used to mount
   reflector attacks as described in [RFC5358
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5358].

   The DNS proxy in a gateway SHOULD NOT, by default, be accessible from
   the WAN interfaces of the device.



Implemented correctly, CPE receives DNS request and proxies the request
internally. Usually they are only listening on the LAN side.  Sometimes
they take DNS requests from the WAN side.  When a local DNS cache is not
defined, these requests can leak out to whatever cache is defined.  In some
cases, the CPE retains the IP address that originally sourced the packet.
 So you end up with external caches responding to requests from 3rd
parties.  Add to that spoofing the original packets to the bad CPE and you
have that CPE proxying your DNS amplification attack to other caches.
 Don't blame the cache.  The attacker was intending that the CPE amp
directly.

Fix:
CPE should disable DNS proxying by default and require a restricted list of
sources (LAN, vpn, etc) when enabled.  Also/alternatively require cache to
be local.

 That's not necessarily proof of spoofing, isn't it?  The system in
 question might legitimately own IP addresses from very different
 networks.  If the system is a router and the service you're pinging is
 not correctly implemented and it picks up the IP address of the
 outgoing interface instead of the source address of the request,
 that's totally expected.

 I'm not saying that BCP 38 is widely implement (it's not, unless
 operators have configured exceptions for ICMP traffic from private

Your making an assumption that globally unique ASN's must show up in the

at least in the ARIN region, you will have to ask ARIN to pursue this 
either through the ARIN policy development process or the ARIN 
consultation and suggestion process...my guess would be suggestion process.


Suggestion submission:
https://www.arin.net/app/suggestion/

Policy Proposal process:

for reference... requirements for obtaining an ASN in the ARIN region:

Multi-homed

* provide the exterior gateway protocol to be used
* provide the IP addresses currently in use on your network
* provide the AS number and name of each of your upstream

* provide verification (reassigned address block, a copy of your

* if requesting an additional AS number, provide documentation

Endusers (minimum allocation is a /48)

Origin ASN seen vs Origin ASN in Whois Records Report?

2008-11-19 Thread Heather Schiller


I don't know if a report like this already exists, but I haven't been 
able to find one.  Can someone (CIDR Report? BGPMon? PCH?) offer a 
report that shows the discrepencies in Origin ASN according to the whois 
records, and routes in the [global/public] routing table?  Publishing it 
on some regular interval would be even better.


ARIN makes available a list of prefixes with OriginAS.  I don't know if 
other RIR's do.


ftp://ftp.arin.net/pub/originAS/

To be clear.  I want a list of the prefixes where the actual origin ASN 
seen does not match the one in the whois record.  Inconsistent Origin is 
fair game here.  As a transit provider I'm interested in seeing what 
prefixes I am transiting for my customers that have this discrepancy, so 
something that shows the full path as part of the results would be most 
helpful.

Nick,

  You might want to take a closer look at who is really bogon filtering 
you.  Emailing their upstream providers may not be the most effective 
method for getting endsites to update their bogon filters.  They don't 
have to listen to us when we forward your note on.  We can't force them 
to accept traffic from you or update their filters.  As someone else

time consuming but typically draws the best results.


  I agree with the other comments that if you are going to use a form 
letter please provide more details about the IP's you are using and your 
ASN.  Please also pass this on to your colleagues Eric and Kevin, who 
I've heard from lately :)

This is an heads-up from the Mediacom Network Operations Center about an
issue we are seeing. We 


were recently given an IP scope from ARIN (American Registry for Internet
Numbers) that still

exists on older Bogon lists many web providers are currently using.


A Bogon prefix is a route that should never appear in the Internet routing
table. A packet routed 


over the public Internet (not including over VPN or other tunnels) should
never have a source

address in a Bogon range. These are commonly found as the source addresses
of DDoS attacks.


The IP scope referenced is a 173.x.x.x. This IP scope was on the Bogon list
and was blocked by all  


websites using a Bogon prefix up until February of 2008, when it was
released by IANA (Internet 


Assigned Numbers Authority) for public use and an updated Bogon prefix was
provided. Mediacom

customers that are within this IP range are not able to reach a website
hosted by many organizations. 




 


Mediacom is individually requesting that these providers update their Bogon
prefix to the most current version

to resolve this issue immediately. We are requesting assistance from this
community to make this issue known
and to advise administrators to update to the most current Bogon list.
 
We have provided some reference material that many may find helpful in
resolving this issue. 
Bogons are defined as Martians (private and reserved addresses defined by

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1918.txt RFC 1918

allocated to a regional internet registry (RIR) by the Internet Assigned

Is anyone here from Verizon who can reach out to the people sending

Yes.. Send me your details (IP/ASN/ORG ID) and I'll have someone update 
the db.

I mentioned this on another list, but if anybody has tried to actually

hear about how they did it.





If Verizon = AS701/702/703 (VerizonBusiness/UUnet/MCI) then you should 
be able to just call your sales person and ask for it.. We can do native 
in several locations, and if native isn't available in your location, we 
can set you up w/ a tunnel and move you over to native when it becomes 
available.


**Any current Verizon Business (fUUnet/MCI) customer can call and ask 
for IPv6 connectivity.  There is no additional charge for turning up 
IPv6 on your existing connection**



If Verizon = AS19262 you'll have to wait a bit longer..


snip that stuff about ATT



There seems to be a certain trend towards claiming IPv6 capability in 
order to win business, hoping that people are just looking for the check 
in the box and not actual exchange of packets.

Does that also include connections through resellers?  In our case, 
that's WBS Connect.  I asked them about this last year and was told that 
their contact at Verizon Business had told them IPv6 wasn't available.  
Has that changed?


Antonio Querubin
whois:  AQ7-ARIN



Yes, it includes connections through resellers.  Your reseller, in this 
case, WBS, has to request it and sign the consent form on your behalf. 
There is no technical limitation to providing the service.

Re: [NANOG] Multihoming for small frys?

2008-05-21 Thread Heather Schiller

William Herrin wrote:

Hi folks,

An administrative question about multihoming:

I have a client who needs to multihome with multiple vendors for
reliability purposes, currently in the Northern Virginia area and
later on with a fail-over site, probably in Hawaii. They have only a
very modest need for bandwidth and addresses (think: T1's and a few
dozen servers) but they have to have BGP multihoming and can afford to
pay for it.

The last I heard, the way to make this happen was: Find a service
provider with IP blocks available in ARIN's set of /8's that permit
/24 announcements (networks 199, 204-207), buy a circuit and request a
/24 for multihoming. Then buy circuits from other providers using that
ISP's /24 and an AS# from ARIN.


Yes, but the order is wrong..

- Order service from 2 providers
- Request an ASN from ARIN, show them your documentation that you are 
getting service from 2 providers to justify your need for an ASN
- If you don't meet the utilization requirements for getting a /24, 
request a /24 for multihoming under ARIN 4.2.3.6. from ONE of your 
providers (not both).


At UUnet/VZB we ask customers to provide their ASN as documentation that 
they have demonstrated their intent to multihome.


If you have existing IP space, and it's less than /24 don't be surprised 
if someone asks you to renumber.  If you have existing IP space /24 or 
larger, don't be surprised if someone turns you down under the 
multihoming policy.



http://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#four236

4.2.3.6. Reassignments to multihomed downstream customers

Under normal circumstances an ISP is required to determine the prefix 
size of their reassignment to a downstream customer according to the 
guidelines set forth in RFC 2050. Specifically, a downstream customer 
justifies their reassignment by demonstrating they have an immediate 
requirement for 25% of the IP addresses being assigned, and that they 
have a plan to utilize 50% of their assignment within one year of its 
receipt. This policy allows a downstream customer's multihoming 
requirement to serve as justification for a /24 reassignment from their 
upstream ISP, regardless of host requirements. Downstream customers must 
provide contact information for all of their upstream providers to the 
ISP from whom they are requesting a /24. The ISP will then verify the 
customer's multihoming requirement and may assign the customer a /24, 
based on this policy. Customers may receive a /24 from only one of their 
upstream providers under this policy without providing additional 
justification. ISPs may demonstrate they have made an assignment to a 
downstream customer under this policy by supplying ARIN with the 
information they collected from the customer, as described above, or by 
identifying the AS number of the customer. This information may be 
requested by ARIN staff when reviewing an ISP's utilization during their 
request for additional IP addresses space.




Is that still the way to make it happen? Are there alternate
approaches (besides DNS games) that I should consider?

Who should I talk to? Certain well-known companies seem incapable of
discussing service that isn't cookie-cutter.



It's really pretty straightforward and common actually... but I wouldn't 
be surprised if sales folks don't know ARIN and/or routing policy.




Thanks,
Bill Herrin
