Re: How to track DNS resolution sources

2014-12-04 Thread Notify Me
Hi Nick and List

Yes it's possible. The dud DNS response in some parts of the internet was
the public IP address being used by their proxy server. I'm not sure what
the proxy is, but it's a windows box. I was going to try to dig trace but
by then the poisoning  suddenly stopped happening. Any other ideas on how
to deal with this ? What can I proactively do in case it happens again?

 The first time I encountered this neither myself nor my customer expected
 it. We upgraded the firewall and suddenly their external hostname
 resolution was coming back with internal IP addresses, as defined by the
 firewall's NAT table.

 Note this only really happens with NAT. If the spoofed records are
 internal its most likely something else.

 I hope I'm wording this correctly. I had a incident at a client site where

 that's returning the false records ? What tool can one use?

Hi guys,

we, a Berlin / Germany based carrier, are looking for a smart documentation 
(shelfs, connections, fibers) and visualization tool for our ADVA-based 
DWDM-enviroment. Do you have any suggestions or  hints for me? We’re testing

ARIN's RPKI Relying agreement

2014-12-04 Thread Andrew Gallo

Greetings:

In the past few months, I've spoken with, or heard second hand, from a 
number of organizations that will not or cannot sign ARIN's RPKI Relying 
Agreement.  Acceptance of this agreement is required in order to gain 
access to ARIN's Trust Anchor Locator (TAL).


Given the size and number of these organizations that can't or wont 
accept the agreement makes me wonder if this is a show stopper that will 
prevent the adoption of this technology.


I've created a quick survey to get an idea of the community's take on 
this agreement with the idea that if enough organizations indicate it is 
unacceptable, maybe we can get this agreement changed, or as with other 
regions, not explicitly required to use the TAL.

Honestly, that's what I'm trying to figure out as well.  In my informal

we wont sign it' and then dropped it.  If specific legal feedback isn't 
making it back to ARIN, then we need to start providing it, otherwise, 
the agreement will stand.

Hi Andrew,

The short version is that the would-be consumers of the RPKI data want the
data published in much the same way that whois data is published. Many of
the organizations aren't even in the ARIN region. Virtually any formal

And this delightfully illustrates what IMG's Mark MacCormack is pleased

Lawyers believe that their job is to tell you what not to do.

Their *actual job* is to tell where risks lie, so that you can make 
informed business decisions about which risks to take, and how to
allow for them.

If you as a businessman believe the lawyers' point of view, though,
you will never accomplish anything.

One of the complaints I've heard is that for out-of-region folk to get
the TA details they need to sign the RPA, and potentially be bound by
a contract that they can't be bound by anyway... so the process is
looked upon as a bit 'foolish' or perhaps: over-reaching is the more

Exactly the same. RPKI without the tie-in to the registration database
is just another random database, like the dozens that are out there,
bound to suffer from exactly the same problems current IRRs suffer.

For my part, I have had discussions with ARIN's internal legal council and
other staff about our specific concerns and how to address them, and
intend to continue doing so, as I agree that this won't get solved if we
just say unacceptable and drop the subject. That said, this is harder to
manage because it doesn't fall into the existing ARIN policy development
process, so the community doesn't have as direct of a voice on changes to
the policies. I can't just submit a policy proposal to change how ARIN
words its RPA, who is bound by it, and how ARIN provides RPKI services.
Those are operational matters, implemented by the staff, governed by the
board, who is informed by their legal council and staff. That is part of
the reason why I brought some of the issues to the NANOG community, since
interaction with ARIN board members and staff is what's necessary to make

This is apparently being discussed on two different lists (PPML and 
NANOG) at the same time, so apologies for the cross-posting...

The reason that the RIRs have disclaimer of warranty and indemnification 
clauses 
for RPKI services is actually quite simple: despite striving to deliver highly 
available 
RPKI services, you are supposed to be using best practices in use of the 
service, 
and this include recognizing that failures can occur and such should not result 
in 
operation impact (i.e. exactly the opposite of your “my routing decisions are 
affected 
and breakage happens” statement in your prior email.)   Specifically, your RPKI 
deployment approach should be following known operational best practices for 
RPKI, such as those in RFC 7115 / BCP 185, Origin Validation Operation Based 
on the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI)” - 
   “… Local policy using relative preference is suggested to manage the 
uncertainty 
associated with a system in early deployment; local policy can be applied to
eliminate the threat of unreachability of prefixes due to ill-advised 
certification 
policies and/or incorrect certification data. “

Note that the claims that could ensue from an operator failing to follow best 
practices
and then third-parties suffering an major operational outage is likely to be 
large and
extremely protracted, with potential for endangering the registry itself due to 
the nature 
of litigation and its requirement to actually go to all the way to trial in 
order to be able 
to then introduce evidence and prove that the RPKI services were operating 
properly 
at the time of the event.  If the RIRs did not seek indemnification for use of 
the RPKI 
services, then all of their other registry services could potentially be put at 
risk due to 
the need to defend errant litigation, even presuming perfect RPKI service 
delivery.  
Undertaking that risk to the other services that everyone else presently rely 
upon 
(Whois, reverse DNS) is not reasonable particularly during this time when the 
RPKI 
parties are supposed to be deploying via conservative routing preference 
practices.

ARIN does make the expectations very clear and explicit in its agreements, and 
that
is different from the other RIRs.  Again, are the other RIR RPKI non-warranty 
and 
indemnification clauses equally problematic for you, or is the fact that they 
are 
implicitly bound address your concerns?  This has come up before on the NANOG 
mailing list (see attached) but it was unclear if the outcome was an 
expectation that
all RIRs should drop these clauses, or that ARIN should make agreement to them 
be implicit.

Thanks!

 All the specific legal feedback I’ve heard is that this is a
 liability nightmare, and that everyone wants ARIN to take on all the
 liability, but nobody wants to pay for it.  Are you hearing
 something more useful than that?

The way the RPA is worded, ARIN seems to be attempting to offload all
the risk to its member organizations.

Anything that ARIN does has some degree of risk associated with it.
Twice a year we host parties where alcohol is served.  That's a risky
endeavor on all sorts of ways - at least we're typically taking buses
to and from the event so we aren't driving.  I have heard it asserted
the board is unwilling for the organization to shoulder even that
level of risk as part of providing RPKI.  As a board member, can you
speak to this?

Whether this extreme level of risk aversity is a matter of mistaken
priorities (putting the organization itself ahead of accomplishing the
organization's mission) or a way of making sure that we stop wasting
money on RPKI due to demonstrable non-uptake is left as an exercise to
the reader.

You can infer from the last statement that I would applaud cutting our
losses on RPKI.  The quote on slide 23 of Wes' deck about replacing
complex stuff like email templates with simple, easy to understand
public key crypto was mine.  If you can't get people to play ball
nicely with client filtering, IRR components, etc. where the bar to
entry is low, who can _possibly_ say with a straight face that we can
get people to embrace RPKI?

To the usual suspects: sorry to call your kid ugly.  Don't hate the messenger.

The problem with free services is that often you get what you pay for when
it comes to support, warranty, etc. There are plenty of models where you
take something free, say FOSS, and then pay someone (Red Hat, ISC) to
support it in order to manage the risk associated with putting it in the
middle of your business-critical system. It gives you some determinism
about what happens when it breaks or you need a feature, and recourse when
it goes pear-shaped. I think there's room for discussion around how much
an SLA-backed RPKI service might be worth to its potential customers,
given its ability to either protect or badly break global routing.

I think your question is fair if you are talking to the TWC CEO, but in
this case you are not and it’s disingenuous to pretend otherwise (which
you are attempting through your weak straw-man).

If ARIN isn’t capable of running RPKI or performing its function, which
perhaps we should infer from your talking points, perhaps we should all
transfer our resources out of region and dissolve ARIN?  I don’t think
that would suit the community needs though.

I (similar to Rob) have my own concerns about RPKI but do feel that
this is an ARIN specific construct/wall that has been raised without
action yet from ARIN.  The fact that the meeting was 2 months ago and
you have not acted/discussed with your counsel says everything I need to

separate meeting involving:
- the ARIN board
- ARIN legal counsel and other relevant ARIN staff
- legal representatives from as many of the operators and others
expressing concern over this as appropriate,
- along with a few of the technical folks to help deal with the
interaction between the technical and the legal

and use it to discuss the issues in order to come up with something
better.

(One can easily argue that best practices require multiple connections

WG]  So how would I as an ARIN member go about getting a redundant RPKI

Also: Most SPs provide an SLA to their customers that serves as a balance

WG] well, if it wasn't clear from my previous message, you've gotten a

We need to put some daylight between how the market values RPKI and
whether RPKI is ready for wide-scale deployment and what the market
expects from ARIN as a service provider for a critical piece of that
system when it's in wide-scale deployment.

You can see multiple folks expressing concern about other aspects of RPKI
beyond ARIN's RPA and liability. Those problems have to be solved before
we can have a real discussion about how the market values RPKI, because
prior to that it's simply not ready for wide-scale deployment.
Additionally, we have a catch-22 in that most of RPKI's benefit is not
realized until there are enough prefixes signed and enough large networks
validating signatures and dropping invalid announcements, which means the
incentive for early adopters is hard to quantify. In other words, the
benefits of deploying RPKI that we have to use to justify the costs,
whether it's increased ARIN fees or the hardware, complexity, and
headcount costs associated with deploying and maintaining it, cannot be
realized yet.
So, the only thing I know to do is to make sure that I'm working these
issues in parallel so that we don't remove one barrier to entry only to
crash into the next one.

flow to the wrong party because whois is down. *Maybe* you can make that
case for reverse DNS since lots of anti-spam/anti-spoof relies on
forward/reverse DNS agreement, but that doesn't affect routing. RPKI ups
the ante considerably. I believe ARIN when they say that the liability
risks are higher for this.

RE: Anybody at Amazon AWS?

 From: amitch...@isipp.com
 Subject: Anybody at Amazon AWS?
 Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 09:15:36 -0700
 To: nanog@nanog.org
 
 Anybody have a contact at Amazon AWS?
 
 I sent in a spam complaint, and got back the below response - while I give 
 them kudos for actually, you know, responding, I'm pretty sure that we can 
 all agree that sending the same canned message to email addresses scraped 
 off websites is the very definition of spam, yet somehow the EC2 abuse team 
 seems to consider it a perfectly acceptable explanation  - I'd sure love to 
 discuss this with someone with a clue at Amazon AWS
Did you try their abuse telephone? +1 (206) 266-2187?
Once I needed I had proper services on that number.
Anyway I am not sure if your contact will make a difference. As I see the case, 
honestly, it's you complaining against their customer, and Amazon is profiting 
from that customer. If you and only you are complaining I don't believe you 
will be heard.
Anyway the customer assumed they sent UCE. But won't assume it was a SPAM. As I 
see the customer states that a e-mail was sent to an e-mail address you have 
published as contact e-mail address and therefore, they have contacted you. In 
a canned way, but if it was a personal e-mail offering you something you don't 
care about, would you fill an abuse report? Or just ignoring/declining the 
offer?
If I right you a polite message right from my MUA and don't mention your name, 
treating you pretty much like a generic person I don't know, and offering my 
services, my curricula, or trying to show you a product I have created myself 
and believe it might be off your interest, it's certainly UCE but will you 
complain to my provider stating I was spamming you?
Well if it's true tha the sender used gmail (you can check your e-mail 
headers), pasted your address on their MUA or webmail as a Bcc or something 
like that, and Gmail didn't block the outgoing message, and you (and maybe 2 or 
3 other individuals) didn't like that, I don't think Amazon or Google will find 
it as abuse of services.
Certainly it's not a good practice. Not something nice to do, or to receive. 
But is that an abuse? I don't think so. Specially of a minimum good practice is 
in place, just like a an opt-out mechanism or similar.
Good luck with that phone call. You will find someone to talk to. But I'm not 
sure you will find someone to agree with you it's an abuse.

 ---
 
 Our customer has responded to your abuse report and provided the following 
 information
 
 The below emails were sent individually to the recipient using a canned 
 message. There is no automation or mass emailing at all. Our publisher 
 representative personally visited each of the below websites, decided they 
 were right for our service and emailed them individually. The emails are sent 
 through gmail using a web interface to their API.
 
 Let me know if you require any additional information.

 If you are satisfied with the above information, there is no need to respond 
 to this notice. If you are not satisfied, please respond with a clear, 
 succinct reason for dissatisfaction and what results you desire from our 
 customer. We will make every reasonable attempt to work with you and our 
 customer to resolve this matter.

Re: ARIN's RPKI Relying agreement

2014-12-04 Thread Bill Woodcock

This pig is less aerodynamic, and fewer people are pushing. 

In-addr DNS and whois are simple and well-understood protocols, with many 
programmer-years of software development behind them. 

The problem isn't the marginal cost of a single transaction, that might only be 
one or two orders of magnitude higher. The problem is the overhead cost of 
trying to force a poorly-architected system into a semblance of 
production-quality.  If you want something that anyone can _actually rely 
upon_, that's a precursor to doing the incremental transactions.

 Yep, thats why all this is at issue.  If it were cheap, and

 there?
 
 So why does an RPKI request cost *500 times* as much as (say) a request
 to assign an address block?  Why is it *that* much more expensive to handle?

 Jared, ARIN is now nine years in to applying thrust to this pig.  The board 
 does in fact revisit it with some frequency, since it’s expensive and the 
 primary thing blocking other software development efforts, like ARIN Online 
 functionality and so forth.  It has not been ignored for the past three 
 months, and it has not been ignored for the past nine years.  The question of 
 what to do about it, however, is no more likely to be resolved right now than 
 it has been at any point in its painful history.
 
 Please focus on what we can do about it, rather than on the timeframe.  John 
 is doing his job.

Part of that is collecting the feedback, which it seemed was unheard as more 
than Wes was part of the discussion.

If ARIN has given up on RPKI, it would be helpful if that message were 
communicated to the community.

 the fact it’s taken 3 months to reach the board is of concern to me for an 
 issue
 that was raised (prior to the October meeting) by operators, andwhere you
 were an active part of the discussion afterwards in the back of the plenary
 room.

Jared - We kicked off a project to address the concerns within two weeks 
of ARIN/NANOG, doing so despite not have any clear consensus that providing 
ready access to the TAL without a click-accept RPA and switching to an 
implicit service agreement would materially improve things.  I guess we 
could have waited for consensus on indemnification (or no indemnification),
but it's not clear whether any consensus will ever emerge on that issue.

 While you asked Wes, I certainly felt I was clear in telling you
 Yes that letting the existing RSA where you claimed also covered this would
 protect ARIN.  If you have not discussed this with counsel since then, that
 feels to me like something that should have already occurred.  Perhaps you
 are waiting until January though, I don’t know your thought process but
 it seems that a few months is enough time for it to occur (IMHO).

Addressing these RPKI issues is important, but there is quite a bit of 
other activities going on at the same time.  Furthermore, revisiting 
RPKI terms and conditions and the imputed risk definitely requires a 
face-to-face Board discussion, and January is the first one scheduled 
after the ARIM Baltimore meeting in October.

 The actions of ARIN here speak volumes to the contempt that we observe
 towards those desiring to do standards body work on RPKI.  This concerns
 me in my role of obtaining ARIN resources.  I also wonder what other ways
 that ARIN has displeasure in the members that it’s not publicly voicing
 or making apparent.

Jared - Feel free to raise any concerns with the Board if you wish; many 
(like Bill Woodcock) are on the nanog list, but in any case they all have 
emails listed here - https://www.arin.net/about_us/bot.html

 I’m also willing to accept that I may be sleep deprived, grumpy and that
 everyone here has hit upon a nerve about the RPA which I see as unresolved.

Agreed, and work is underway to address.

 At the last IETF meeting I raised the issue that if this (RPKI) goes poorly
 in its deployment, here we would just be turning it off if there was some
 catastrophic protocol or operational issue.  People depend upon the internet
 to work and anything to reduce the reliability of it won’t be widely used.

That's very true, but getting folks to invest time  effort in internal,
non-customer facing capabilities is very hard (and doubly so for things 
still in flux like RPKI.)  

If it were easy, we'll already have a community all of whom used some form 
of route filtering, either registry or IRR derived, and payoff from adding
RPKI would be nominal...

 I am hoping that ARIN will be a partner in these activities vs what feels like
 feet dragging along the way.  RPKI/SIDR may not be successful in the long
 term, but until that outcome is reached, we need ARIN to be part of
 the community and your leadership here is welcome and necessary.

ARIN is very much part of the RPKI community, including participating in 
the IETF sidr activities, deploying both hosted and delegated RPKI support, 
etc.  We're actively involved, but also attentive to details, particular
when it comes to risk analysis.

Re: determine relationship between the operators based on import and export statements in aut-num object?

2014-12-04 Thread Martin T
Hi,

thanks! I guess one of the most exhaustive and freely-available
route-views data to analyze is from RIPE Routing Information Service
project? For example if I would like to analyze a certain prefix
announced by a certain AS for time period from 1.11.2014 to
30.11.2014, then I should download route-views data for this
period(for rrc_id in {00..14}; do for d in {01..30}; do wget
http://data.ris.ripe.net/rrc$rrc_id/2014.11/bview.201411$d.0800.gz;
done; done) and anayze this with bgpdump(bgpdump -m bview* | grep -w
65133)? Other option would be to use one of the tools like RIPEstat
BGPlay?


thanks,
Martin

 The first thing to do is look and see if the policy of, e.g. AS65133
 is consistent with what you see there. I suspect you'll find a lot of
 mismatches but I don't know if that has been studied systematically,
 but it should be simple to do.

 Next, much more data intensive, is trawl through the route views data
 and see to what extent the actual updates seen are consistent with the
 RIR objects, and also see what (topological, not financial as Valdis
 points out) relationships they imply that are not present in the RIR

Sandra - 

From the discussion over on PPML...

  Parties are likely to use RPKI services such that (as someone put
  it recently) - routing decisions are affected and breakage happens” 

  While such impacts could happen with whois, parties would have to 
  create the linkages themselves, whereas with RPKI it is recognized
  that the system is designed to provide information for influencing of
  routing decisions (a major difference, and one that a judge could be
  made to recognize if some service provider has a prolonged outage
  due to their own self-inflicted Whois data wrangling into routing filters.)

  Given the nature of RPKI, it is clear that ARIN needs to engineer the 
  service with full awareness of the potential risks (even though such 
  risks are predominantly the result of parties using RPKI data without 
  appropriate best practices.)   We have no problem offering a highly-
  reliable service; the risk of concern stems from third-parties who suffer
  major damages and want to assert that it was the result of an ISP’s 
  misusage of ARIN’s RPKI service or ARIN’s RPKI service itself, even 
  if the underlying cause in truth was completely unrelated to ARIN’s 
  RPKI services.  Recognize that large harmed parties tend to litigate 
  everyone, with the innocent parties extracting themselves only after 
  lengthy battles, and such battles are very difficult when it comes to 
  proving the proper state of technical service at a given point in time.

  I hope this helps in outlining some of the significant differences.
