I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or an insult, but
I noticed you did forget to say "My employer said" so at least it's
probably not actionable by any latigous, animal crackers.

And in all my years running news, I never came cross fleming or
williams so I wouldn't know. Someone called me and made a Denniger
and an Auerbach reference. I like both Karls so I'll take that as
a compliment. Regardless, it's good to be alive for another day

Well, let's hope we can watch the Super Bowl in peace -- I'm
turning my pager & cell phone off anyways. :-)

In any event, as Alex Eckelberry writes over on the Sunbelt
Software blog, "...we’re now seeing infestations for the
Blackworm worm (aka KamaSutra) getting close to 2 million.

"Yesterday it was at close to 700k. 

"Of course, it’s possible that this URL has gotten out to
the public, which would increase the count (simply hitting
the website increments the count by one).  However, to my
knowledge, this URL is only known in the security community.

"Remember that this worm has a very destructive payload. Even
if you discount the number here, you’re still looking at a
significant number of people who will suffer potentially
devastating data loss."

I couldn't agree more.

Cheers,

The last time SANS felt something was so serious they needed all
of NANOG to dance, they came out and said so. That's their handlers
diary. I read it. A lot of people read it. It's well balanced and 
usually on target. Just like that. It's not alarmist. It seems 
fairly certain that as long as Symantec et. al. do their thing, we
will be able to watch the superbowl in peace.

I'm glad to hear that, as many times as you state it. Thank you.

Trust isn't havoc. Your loose cannon response is an excellent
reason why we should be skeptical. My point was around trust and who
we should and shouldn't. There are a lot of characters out there doing
things that are helpful, but that doesn't mean we should trust them.
I don't think that North American Network operators should trust you
and my reason why is that I had at one point asked you to disclose how
you were collecting information you wanted me to rely on and you 
refused. My dis-trust is not personal. There are now other reasons
that I'd prefer to not have to disclose here as it does nothing to
further the conversation.

As far as my contribution goes, I'm making it. I read, observe, discuss,
and comment. I'm sorry if you feel particularly targeted or flamed. It
is not intentional. What would you like me to do to make it better
for you? A good example of the interaction I describe is when you
were first posting the bot reports and there was discussion. They
changed and they were quite ok and I believe I commented to the same.

Perhaps my typing style is irritating? I apologize.

As far as general security goes, I do not trust DA, NSP-SEC, or
many others as the final authoritative source on anything. There
are some people I trust more than others, Thomas, Bellovin, Bush, etc., and
then there are the people I can't trust i.e. the IRC'ers, etc.

continue making progress and telling North Americans when to worry.


US-CERT is kept in the loop every step of the way, as is the FBI, Secret 
Service and a lot of others who contribute from their time and effort. 
We can all criticize others, it's easy. How about you start pulling your 
own weight instead of causing havoc non-stop?


Is this some sort of VeriSign plot or did you come up with it all on 
your own?



The work everyone is doing is fantastic, but it's pretty clear
trust is being ignored


I am not one to keep my mouth shut. I am also not one to answer idi.. 
err, donkies. Still, I kept quiet about you for a long time, as ignoring 
trolls is usually the best way of handling them.


I am often "emotional", straight-forward and tactless, i.e. == rude for 
some people, which is why I try and speak differently to non-Israelies.
Unlike you, I don't impede progress or pick personal fights as a regular 
day-to-day sport. As the mods say nothing to you for a long time now, I 
suppose your kind of behavior is fair game.


So...

Are you going to stop being a troll about everything "IL-CERT" does, I 
do or anyone else except for you does?


What is it you do again? Anything what-so-ever?
Or is it just: pick up on someone and act the a**-h*le so that you can 
gain respect in the quick and dirty route, because some tech is in there 
and you act like someone who is authoritative in writing?
Use flame techniques such as quote only portions of the text, reply to 
something a tad bit different than what was written or ignore some of 
what the other guy said?

Anything else?

Last time that resulted in harming a big operational forum with one of 
the mods quitting (who also just HAPPENED to be an Israeli). You should 
be ashamed. Luckily it usually ends with only flame wars.


You use your own name rather than VeriSign's in everything yet are not 
afraid to speak openly for VeriSign when it suits you. What is it you do 
on nanog?


I've had enough. I knew it was a mistake to quit ignoring you and it 
probably is a mistake to reply to you, but your personal attacks can't 
go on, even under the mask of "concern". Have the GUTS to come out and 
say what you want, or is it just flaming?


Some of us work day and night on local operational issues, others work 
day and night on the survivability of the Internet itself.


And you? Google the wikipedia entry for "STFU".
