 This issue went national in March 2005 with the addition of a new
 N11 number for One Call
 notification. 
 http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-257293A1.pdf

 The new abbreviated number will be 811 and it looks like carriers
 are required to implement by April 2007--since it's been in the
 Federal Register for about a month
 now. http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fedreg/a050413c.html

 But is it applicable to VOIP carriers?

Call-Before-You-Dig is not applicable to users of dig(1).  Not being
facilities-based, I don't believe VoIP carriers will be required to be
participating utilities in One Call.

Seriously, though, I can't imagine why VoIP providers would resist
being involved in three-digit One Call programs any more than they
resist implementing 611 or 411 calling.  Sending to the CBUD service
that serves the billling address of the VoIP phone should be close
enough for government work and the liability issues involving
misdirected e911 access and the need for super accurate physical
location information (both existing because human lives are acutely at
risk) simply aren't there in this application.

Stated another way, if it were acceptable to shuffle an e911 caller
around to four different agencies before they found the right one,
require them to give the address where they were physically located
manually, and then it was OK to take up to 48 hours to arrive, nobody
would be resisting implementing e911 either.  :)

Reminder: PGP Key Signing at NANOG 34

People who plan to participate in key signing parties tomorrow should 
ideally submit their keys today some time. I'll be taking Monday's 
keyring snapshot (for the purposes of the paper fingerprint sheets) 
tomorrow morning.

  http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?keyring=2230
Tomorrow's parties will take place at:
  ~1045 (morning coffee break)
  ~1315 (end of lunch)
  ~1515 (afternoon coffee break)
Feel very free to turn up early; you can usefully spend the time before 
the hexadecimal looking at photo id and introducing yourself to other 
PGP key signers.

Subject: PGP Key Signing at NANOG 34
In Seattle, we are going to try to replace the single/long/tedious PGP 
key-signing event on Monday evening (which invariably clashes with the 
NSP-SEC BOF, or with dinner, or with sleep, or with accidental loss of 
sobriety) with a series of small key-signing parties, held in the last 
10-15 minutes of every break on Monday and Tuesday.

The thinking behind this will be described in a brief presentation on 
Monday morning. More details can be found here:

  http://www.nanog.org/pgp.abley.html
Briefly, if you would like to participate:
1. Paste your public key into the convenient form at 
http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?keyring=2230, and

2. Visit the terminal room during one of the meeting breaks, armed 
with a pen, photo ID and a trusted copy of your PGP key fingerprint.

I'll be printing out one set of fingerprint sheets per day, so make 
sure your key is submitted the day before the key signing party you 
plan to attend.

If you don't know much about PGP, and you'd like to participate, try 
to plan to attend a key signing party on Monday in order to get a feel 
for what is going on -- it should then be straightforward to hook up 
with someone who can help you install/configure PGP software, and you 
can then plan to attend one of the key-signing parties the following 
day.

I will attend all the parties, and will sign every key I can verify, 
and will hence act as a trust-bridge between individual key signing 
parties. It would be excellent if one or two other people who have 
enthusiasm for useful PGP deployment could find the time to do the 
same. Drop me a note off-list if you're interested in helping out.

Re: Malicious DNS request?

2005-05-15 Thread Bill Stewart

Tunneling IP over DNS - Dan Kaminsky's ozymandns project.

One source of really strange DNS packets I've seen is Dan Kaminsky's
experiments with tunneling IP over DNS , which he presented at
Codecon, Defcon, and other places.  Dan has often done Really Twisted
Things With Packets, and once you've already tunneled IP though HTTP,
it's time to do something a bit more aggressive.  His first
implementations were relatively straightforward, good enough for using
SSH and email from the DNS servers on random wireless access points
without needing to log in, but they weren't really high performance. 
The work he demonstrated at Codecon 2005 was able to do
high-performance streaming video over DNS, which required spreading
the data stream over tens of thousands of DNS servers.  It was quite
impressive, in a this-is-seriously-wrong kind of way.

Perhaps somebody's running something like that somewhere near you.
