Agreed.


Gadi,

What is the downside of a "preview" of zones being published by a  
TLD?  Previews could be on a 12 or 24 hour cycle.  This would enable  
defenses at the edge by disabling fast-flux outright.  There could be  
exceptions, of course.  When millions of domains are in rapid flux  
daily, few protective schemes are able to sustain or afford the  
dispersion of raw threat information.  In addition, these raw updates  
arrive too late at that.  A "preview" would not change how the core  
works, only how fast changes occur, while also dramatically reducing  
the amount data required for comprehensive protections at the edge.


This would be a policy change at the core that enables defenses at  
the edge.

I do have a volunteer from EFF...


I had mentioned that both VeriSign and Neustar have people that are
fluent in the
technical and general legal issues as well as the legal aspects. It
would seem to make more sense to solicit one of those organizations
since NANOG is about operations, and not politics. The EFF is a
political organization and these are not topics that make sense for
NANOG, IMHO, the list, the program, or  a BoF.

Having the EFF explain CALEA at NANOG is like asking the Sierra Club
to identify good
sites for oil wells in forests.


Best,

I just now got from a 6 hours beer fest with ISP/CERT/military/etc. guys
who have been working on these attacks on Estonian infrastructure for the past 
3 weeks here in
Tallinn.. so if I make less sense than usual, please forgive me. Beer
good.

Sitting with these folks for the past week, I got so impressed with the
abuse handling work they are doing that even I, who had a very negative opinion
of Estonia and cyber-crime, completely changed my mind.

Their CERT is *extremely* responsive, their ISPs are all talking and
cooperating on abuse and security (and drinking beer). Things are very
different from what they were even just a year ago. Even their Police
force is clued.

If anyone has issues in Estonia, I'd strongly urge you to contact the
Estonian CERT at www.cert.ee, and you most likely won't get
disappointed. A lot of good people over here.

Gadi.

Unfortunately, not in the general session.

We've filled the available time, and it looks like we will be running
until 12:30 Monday and Tuesday, and 13:00 Wednesday.

There might be room for a BOF, but I won't know for sure until I
actually lay out the agenda later today.

I was unable to get someone from DoJ CALEA Impl. Unit to attend
this upcoming NANOG.  They said they had folks available the next week
but obviously that wouldn't work :(.

I asked them to consider presenting at the upcoming ABQ NANOG.

I wonder, does this mean Estonia is now more likely to act/re-act to its 
own homegrown miscreants which attack systems in other countries after 
seeing the impact it had in their own country?  Or is this going to remain 
a case of the "bad guys" are always in some other country, not mine.

That's a rhetorical question with a bit of tongue-in-cheek, yes?

By "bad guys" do you mean the bots, or the C&C?  I think in 
non-state-actor attacks, prosecution of C&C has been reasonably good.  
It's the botnets that I worry about.  All those people still paying 
Microsoft to make their machines zombies.  :-/
