Re: verify currently running software on ram

 I'm looking for ways to verify that the currently running software on
 our Cisco/Juniper boxes is the one that is also in the
 flash/hd/storage/etc. Something that will somehow compare the running
 software in ram with the software on flash/hd/storage/etc, so that i
 can verify that nobody has actually messed with the running software
 (by whatever means that's possible).
 
 Besides the install verify command on IOS-XR (which i'm not 100%
 sure if it suits my needs), i haven't managed to find anything else.
 And the vendors say that indeed there is nothing more. All other
 options are about verifying the software file integrity before it
 gets loaded into ram.
 
 Have you ever done such an exercise? Are there maybe any external
 tools (or services) that offer this capability?
 

As Tassos said, there are no solutions from vendors.  There are,
however, some examples by third parties such as

  Defending Embedded Systems with Software Symbiotes
  http://ids.cs.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/paper_2.pdf

and

  Protecting Software Codes By Guards
  http://www.seas.gwu.edu/~simhaweb/security/summer2005/Atallah1.pdf

There are other efforts inside academia as well as companies attempting
to develop dynamic firmware attestation (full disclosure: I work for one
such company).

As Valdis and others have said, it's an insoluble problem with solutions
of varying degrees of efficacy and practicality.

 Hi,
 
 Thanks a lot for all your inputs and feedback.
 My goal is to peer with a lot of networks especially ISPs. We are mainly
 a content provider. Tlex and Equinix seem to be the obvioius choice for
 a neutral colocation facility. According to your experience, between 60
 Hudson and 111 8th Avenue, which one I should choose?

I don't think anyone mentioned it yet, but there is also The Hub at 32
Sixth.

I've only ever purchased transit from one provider there through another
and never colocated any equipment.  It's a beautiful building, by the way.

Re: DSL options in NYC for OOB access

 Hi,
 
 Im looking for a little advice about DSL circuits in New York, 
 specifically at 111 8th Ave.
 Going to locate a console server there for out-of-band serial
 management. The router will need connectivity for remote telnet/ssh
 access from the NOC.
 
 Looking for a low speed (and low cost) DSL line with a fixed IP.
 I searched some obvious providers but dont really want to deal with a 
 huge company (Verizon, Qwest, ?) if it can be avoided.
 Also $80-100+ seems a lot for something that will be used very
 rarely, but maybe those prices are normal.
 
 Are there smaller/independent companies out there offering this sort
 of thing?
 I dont know much about the US DSL market, so any hints are welcome.

Speakeasy/Covad/Megapath and Panix offer DSL.  Speakeasy is mostly
pleasant to deal with, but I've never used Panix.

 I should've qualified my question by saying What valid application

I'll grant that my response was a bit pedantic: there is no
legitimate reason for such traffic to leave a network.

 I can't imagine there is too much Cisco NAC client for macs carrying
 on over the Internet, although I have been wrong in the past.

I imagine you're right, and that any network that detects any
significant amount would be one whose first octet is a common
fourth-octet-of-a-gateway (1, 65, 129, etc).

 The most common attacks that I have seen over the last 12 months, and
 let's say I have seen a fair share have been easily detectable by the
 source network.
 
 It is either protocol 17 (UDP) dst port 80 or UDP Fragments (dst port
 0..)
 
 What valid application actually uses UDP 80?

The Cisco NAC client for Macs, for the purpose of VLAN change
detection, sends UDP/80 packets to the host's reversed default
gateway (i.e., if the actual gateway is 1.2.3.4, it sends the packets
to 4.3.2.1) once every five seconds.
