Re: Martin Hannigan
What is it you do again? Anything what-so-ever? Martin is the 21st century version of Jim Fleming and Jeff Williams. He entertains us with his hyperbole. Does anyone take him seriously anymore?

Martin is the 21st century version of Jim Fleming and Jeff Williams. He entertains us with his hyperbole. i don't know if i'd go THAT far. none of those (fleming, williams, hannigan) entertains me with their nanog posts. (and neither does gadi.) with usenet gone, we just don't teach our kids entertainment-level hyperbole any more. -- Paul Vixie

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 on the Internet becayse that's all it is - another day on the Internet. Best, -M

Re: Martin Hannigan
Serious answers: (much like your 'serious questions'): If I don't see SANS running around with their capes off, I don't http://isc.sans.org/blackworm Further, our reports lead to a SANS ISC temporary URL's for each AS. 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 don't work for IL-CERT (which is actually the GOV cert, not IL-CERT), except in an advisory capacity volunteer-base now. I.e., I am a civilian now. Congratulations. off our football, and get ready for worms. I'd hope to see US-CERT 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? 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. Is this some sort of VeriSign plot or did you come up with it all on your own? I think I'll watch White Noise on the DVD now. Admins: Clearly, a personal attack and I'd like the AUP enforced please. -M

Blackworm hunbers [Was: Re: Martin Hannigan]
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, ...were now seeing infestations for the Blackworm worm (aka KamaSutra) getting close to 2 million. Yesterday it was at close to 700k. Of course, its 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, youre still looking at a significant number of people who will suffer potentially devastating data loss. I couldn't agree more.
