Is there anyone from ASPEWS on this list?
Hi, ASPEWS is listing 216.83.32.0/20 as being associated with the whole Atrivo incident of 2008. My memory does not recall 216.83.32.0/20 being involved, nor the provider that belongs to. So it'd be cool if I could you know, talk to someone who has involvement with that, because frankly, I do not see why it is listed as having any involvement with Atrivo. Also, the fact that Atrivo is *dead* and this stuff is still listed means that anyone who gets those blocks from ARIN next are basically screwed. Which kind of sucks. William
About IPv6 performance
Dear all: I've been searching the web for tests or reports about how performance in current IP boxes (core routers, BRAS, edge routers...) is impacted when enabling IPv6, but haven't been able to find anything useful, but a couple of reports dated in 2002 and 2004: http://www.lightreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=63606 http://www.ipv6-tf.com.pt/documentos/geral/bii_v6_interop.pdf I already assume some impacts in memory for IPv6 prefixes, or CPU usage... but don't clearly see other impacts (number of sessions...). I know performance will mainly depend on which service structure is selected (PPPoE, DHCPv6...), but... could anybody point to a report that deals with all these issues? Thank you, David Pérez.

There's no good way to provide a hardware firewall in an average residential environment that is not a disaster waiting to happen. If you make it smart (i.e. UPnP) then it will of course autoconfigure itself for an appropriate virus. However, your average home user often doesn't change their $FOOGEAR password from the default of 1234, and it is reasonable to assume that at some point, viruses will ship with some minimal knowledge of how to manually fix their networking environment. Or better yet? Runs a password cracker until it figures it out, since the admin interfaces on these things are rarely hardened. If you actually /do/ a really good firewall, then of course users find it hard to use and your company takes a support hit, maybe gets a bad reputation, etc. There's no winning. Agreed.

No, the conclusion is that for IPv6 there should be something that behaves much like current IPv4 NAT boxes, ie do stateful firewalling and only let internal computers initiate conenctions outgoing, do protocol sniffing for allowing incoming new connections, and use some uPNP like method to do temporary firewall openings. This is the social contract of the current home gateway ecosystem, and intiially IPv6 devices need to replicate this.

Typical home NAT gateways don't have all the configurability of an SSG or such, but the same basic functionality is there. You can blow away the firmware of your NAT gateway and load something like DD-WRT. This gives you a hardware firewall (an external hardware device that acts as a deliberate firewall; i.e. you can firewall 1.2.3.4 from 5.6.7.8). It is not filtering packets in silicon, which is an alternate definition for hardware firewall that many in this group could use, but in common usage, it is the distinctness from the protected host(s) and the ability to implement typical firewalling rules and methods, with or _without_ NAT, that makes it a hardware firewall. Your existing NAT gateway firmware may well be based on Linux and may have portions implemented by a Linux firewalling subsystem, but in most cases, you cannot really drill down to any significant level of detail, and quite frequently the main anti-forwarding protection offered is simply the difficulty in surmounting the artificial barrier created by the NAT addressing discontinuity. While this might technically count as the same basic functionality, functionality that cannot be accessed or used might as well not be there for the purposes of this discussion. So I'll pass on considering your average NAT gateway as a hardware firewall. ...

Now this I agree with. There are so many laws, so many unenforced, that it is hard to know all of them, and to know which ones (in which state, city, local, or country!) you are breaking. You have the choice to be more private -- pay cash for everything, wear a hood or a mask to avoid being caught on camera, no EZpass, no bank account, no credit card, no cell phone, no phone at all, no Internet access. But that's kinda difficult to do, given that most of us have jobs and income based solely on this medium. The ease of logging and the human justifcation of hording that data pretty much prevents you from having a private life.

They are ALL making money doing the same thing. I don't see that trend slowing. So when you search on AltaVista, assuming AltaVista uses Yahoo and Yahoo using Bing, does AV, Yahoo!

Maybe someday I'll eat my words, but I'm just not paranoid enough to work that hard to avoid search engines or other companies to log my use of their service. I'm more worried about all the data at the doctor's office, the federal government, credit card and reporting companies, phone companies, etc. and I'm not doing much about that either. In FF goto Tools, 'Options', 'Privacy', and select: Accept cookies from sites'; 'Accept third-party cookies'; 'Keep until: ask me every time just to get a taste. Be sure to click on 'Show Details' when the flood of cookies comes and pay attention to the details. Don't go to sites that bork when you use these settings any longer.

Re: news from Google
If you aren't breaking the law, the government won't be looking for your data, and won't ask Google/Yahoo/Bing/AltaVista or other search companies for your data. Welcome to China, host country of IETF 79, the first IETF meeting that will break the record of VPN tunnels ... Also, what law ? what government ? Ask Yahoo about what happened in France about some collectible items, ask Dow Jones for distributing news in Australia that some guy didn't like, ask Google about providing search results that famous people don't want to see everywhere. On the other hand, name it Google, Yahoo, Bing, or whatever, their biz model is to make money based on information they collect about you (even in an abstract form) or that put through your throat as advertisement, but keep in mind that most of the time there is only one source for such information: You ;-) If you don't like it, get isolated, (I was going to say move to Mars but it won't work since it's already on Google's master plan and Vint's interplanetary network vision) move to Wassila and enjoy fishing alone.

Could it help them build a case against me? Sure. Should I be more careful about using search engines? Probably. I know there is TORbutton (easily turn on and off TOR) and tor-proxy.net plugins for Firefox, but is there a plugin that will use a user-defined proxy for certain user-defined sites/URLs (such as Google, Bing, etc) and allow one to surf directly on all other URLs? Or even a NoScript (whitelist) type deal that sends everything via a proxy except for those sites you decide to trust? That'd be handy to avoid this privacy stuff. Getting offtopic. You simply need to assume that every company who you reveal even small pieces of your identity or online persona will sell, reveal, badly secure or misuse the information you provide. I think this assumption is realistic, and that you need to be aware of it. Google is simply telling you what all the other companies already do -- archive their data, which you generated, and which can be used to identify you and against you in a court of law.

Re: news from Google
LRMAO Coming from a gmail user... Yes, and very satisfied with their service (not happy with the line wraps though and plain text formatting), very convenient to receive messages from e-mail lists and a more efficient way to deal with spam and other nuisances. I've to admit that actually MSFT online privacy notice (which it is not clear if it's equal to their privacy policy) includes the statement you mentioned in your message, but you forgot to include the rest ...

And then there is another section that is related to Your Choices, but nowhere (and I'm not saying that others provide this option either) says you opt to keep all the information Microsoft collects about you private and not shared with affiliates (very vague term) or other companies working on their behalf (ie the telemarketers bothering you at home in the middle of your favorite football game to sell something you don't need). Every single provider that collects information about you tries to find the way to monetize it and make some extra bucks. Cheers Jorge

They are separate entities, and Cernal hosts with other providers, and did so while Atrivo existed as well. Infact, read below for some poignant analysis on this fact.

That doesn't surprise me, but I see it coming from Amazon EC2. Infact, traceroutes end at 67.210.14.1, which is a router servicing the EC2 cloud. 85.255.112.0/20 appears to be announced by Bandcon / Internet-Path in the NYC area. I believe that Amazon EC2's NYC cloud uses these providers, but not 100% sure on that one. Regardless, Amazon EC2 is not Atrivo, at all, period, and if you believe that it is, you're bloody crazy.

Indeed. BTW I'm impressed about how fast particularly the messages archived by insecure.org show up on the search results. Jorge
Re: Is there anyone from ASPEWS on this list?
So write to her from a gmail account. APEWS is pretty kooky, and I'm kind of surprised if SORBS is using it.

Those URL's don't seem to include google.com in them. Maybe I'm misreading them. I *found* them by searching with Google. I found the second link by searching for a unique phrase from your email: http://www.google.com/search?q=nanog+%22feeding+the+machine A mere 1 hour after you emailed it to the NANOG list, Google web search has that email archived from the website on seclists.org. Crawlers can be excluded with robots.txt if so chosen by the site owner so long as google respects said file. Google does respect that file, but you are counting on other subscribers respecting the site owner's wishes regarding web archives. In my experience, this has become a futile fight. If the list doesn't have a web accessible archive, it's likely one of the list's subscribers might start their own archive or have it archived with one of the many archive sites e.g. gmane. Some lists also respect a no archive header that some people choose to include with their messages. If you are emailing a publicly archived mailing list that you know is web archived and likely spidered by Google, a no archive header is mostly useless. When someone replies to your email (as I'm doing now) your quoted text in the reply will be archived, preserving what you posted to the list. At best, the no archive header merely messes up threading. The no archive header idea never really worked in the first place - witness all the old usenet server posts that ended up on dejagoogle even when the posts had no archive headers. Preventing my email to gmail from entering their vast database of whatever they track doesn't have any such control features that I'm aware of. Preventing any email you send to anyone from being leaked out to the public is something you have no control of. I.e. the CRU hacked email controversy. If you don't want what you write to be posted on or archived on the internet and findable with web searches, don't use the internet to write or transmit it. Even then, you are at risk of someone scanning and posting what you write. As a NANOG subscriber you should be clueful enough to know all of this already. So what's the big issue here? jc

We already know that IPv6 residential firewalls won't do NAT, so why bring it into this discussion at all? Some of us are trying to formulate and offer real-life IPv6 services to our marketplaces before IPv4 runs out, and the vendors simply aren't interested in being there to help us out. Pointless distractions about orthogonal issues that don't matter (e.g., NAT) don't help at all. FWIW, I asked Fred Baker about this at the IPv6 Forum meeting in Australia this week. He'd just handled another question about the memory requirements required for burgeoning routing table growth by saying that if routers need extra RAM then routers with extra RAM will appear on the market, because if you're prepared to pay money for it, we'll try to sell it to you. So I asked, I'm prepared to pay money for IPv6-capable ADSL2+ CPE. Are you prepared to sell it to me? and he said, Yes, just not with our firmware. Which I thought was a bit of a cop-out, given that it was one of our customers who developed the IPv6 openwrt support in the first place, with zero support from Fred's employer, after we'd spent two years hassling them about their lack of action. ... and this is in the same week when, in the context of IPv6, someone else asked me how many units of their gear we'd ship (Zero. You don't have a product with the features we need so we'll use one of your competitors instead. Lets revisit this when you're prepared to have a conversation that doesn't include `lack of market demand' as a reason for not doing it.) Argh.

I handwave past all that by pointing out (as you have) that stateful inspection is just a subset of NAT, where the inside address and the outside address happen to be the same. (in the same way that the SHIM6 middleware boxes which were proposed but never built were /also/ just subsets of NAT, with the translation rules controlled by the SHIM6 protocol layers on the hosts... but we weren't allowed to call them NAT gateways, because IPv6 isn't supposed to have any NAT in it :) - mark -- Mark Newton Email: new...@internode.com.au (W) Network Engineer Email: new...@atdot.dotat.org (H) Internode Pty Ltd Desk: +61-8-82282999 Network Man - Anagram of Mark Newton Mobile: +61-416-202-223
