SPAM from other LIRs to db-contacts regarding resource sale
by Michael Horn 27 Apr '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Cheerio AA-WG, while we all are familiar with the joys of receiving spam on our whois-db contact mail addresses, this one below sets a new low. Unsolicited mail from another LIR to one of my whois-db contacts advertising IPv4 address space sale, underlining their legitimacy by bragging with their LIR status. afaik there are currently no effective sanctions provided for such behaviour. I am a bit dumbfounded by the chutzpah they display and don't really know how to approach this. I'm sure that I am not the only one who has received one of these. How do we - as a community - want to handle cases like these? - - Michael Begin forwarded message: Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2015 02:02:21 +0300 From: "Aleksey Bulgakov" <aleksey@###> To: "ripe" <ripe@###> Subject: IPv4 allocation offer ePochta Mailer Email Template Hello. As you know, the RIPE NCC can only provide one final /22 to your LIR because it is currently allocating address space from the last /8 of IPv4 addresses. However the RIPE NCC allows to get IPv4 addresses from other LIR. Our company has LIR status and ready to transfer such addresses to your LIR. This operation is approved by the RIPE NCC and absolutely legal. The blocks are absolutely clean, haven't been in usage, are absent in any blacklist. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. Simply answer to this letter and you will get the answer shortly. - -- Kind regards, Aleksey Bulgakov Chief Director FastTelecom Tel. +7 926 690-87-29 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJVNLuxAAoJEB+r0I6sHZXyYlkH+wV+sxqbYWyNT7iZSMG4iozM w60C4FpavwcYeoZUX2SBDwmcixgHiXr/01zga+iN18jp8q7Fl1LxmJvdfhGYY50P 6Sv9F7/oIypNjlB9RvBEUZHczJiZXGrNjJE98sI2HslDeamz3YRkmoaXSil524RT V7uZfASkpfpok7BbPiIqL0YndIibC7yIZfu17yLk48k6LSGRs9dqg4xJsaz8wMIJ 26V98PlCmaCw4utVPUxMttxfz+yEL1rGzNqcV8FYQBNq3wjVqlmA4lnfkKPjTTKr Nx4FO6HvZZoSO3EeWXURs6r7P+KtoI1e0Kx9Vhp7QTqGI7gZ6F6SN/lqGQUWU3I= =jpdO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Abuse-C attributes - required e-mail address contact method.
by Gist, Jonathan 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hello, The RIPE policy around the abuse-c attribute requires the presence of an e-mail address, which is asked to be used by subscribers wishing to report abuse incidents. This contact method is resource intensive and Virgin Media would like to propose a change to the policy to remove the requirement for an e-mail address contact field. Virgin Media would like to specify virginmedia.com/netreport (a web-form that feeds an abuse case management system) in the abuse attribute to ensure that we are able to properly manage and prioritise abuse complaints. If we have the web-form listed as the abuse contact we are able to maximise appropriate abuse handling measures to prevent misuse of our network and thereby ensure an optimum experience for all complainants. Is this a view that is help by others?

Meeting with Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs)
by Marco Hogewoning 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Dear Colleagues, We recently held our seventh meeting for Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), in partnership with the British National Crime Agency (NCA) and the other RIRs. Held on 12 March 2015, the purpose of this meeting was to discuss trends and developments that might impact the operations of LEAs and to gather the global law enforcement community’s perspective. A number of key points arose throughout the day: - The RIPE NCC highlighted that much of the information that LEAs required was publicly available and did not require a Dutch court order - Attendees agreed that the current multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance was preferable, but felt that LEAs and governments needed to engage more effectively within the existing structures - The relatively slow adoption of IPv6 and the spread of IP address sharing technologies such as Carrier Grade NAT will increasingly create issues around identifying specific end users - LEAs felt that cooperation with the private sector is extremely important and could improve greatly, but it was also understood that this came with additional costs In response to feedback from the RIPE community, a more detailed report of this meeting has been prepared and is available here: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/lea-meetings/ripe-ncc-law-enforcement-me… We would like to thank the NCA for its help in putting together this day and are looking forward to continue our engagement with the global law enforcement community. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about this meeting or our LEA engagement activities in general. Regards, Marco Hogewoning External Relations Officer - Technical Advisor RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: Inferring DDoS Attacks from Darknet Space
by Mirjam Kuehne 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

Dear colleagues, Please see this new article on RIPE Labs by Claude Fachkha: This work proposes a novel approach to infer and characterise Internet-scale DNS Distributed Reflection Denial of Service (DRDoS) attacks by leveraging the darknet space. The aim of this work is to extract useful information related to DRDoS activities such as intensity, rate and geo-location in addition to various network-layer and flow-based insights. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/claude_fachkha/inferring-distributed-reflecti… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Introduction and the AbuseIO project
by Bart Vrancken 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Hello AA-WG peoples, I am new to this workgroup so let me start by introducing myself: I am Bart Vrancken, Engineer at a Dutch ISP BIT. Next to the normal day-day work i handle most of the abuse sent by notifiers. For a while now i am also part at the Abuse-NL workgroup. On IRC i can be found under the names CrossWire or Kruisdraad. Outside office hours (who can call it spare time these days ...) i spent my time with my two daughters and volunteer with the dutch 'coastguard' service. Since 2009 i have been working on a tool to manage the abuse flow, and recently started the Open Source AbuseIO (https://abuse.io) project so anyone could benefit from it. For the ISP/Hosters that still manually process their abuse it might be interesting to have a look at it ;) I'll be at the RIPE-70 meeting to shake some hands ;) -- Met vriendelijke groet, Bart Vrancken, Engineer BIT BV | bart(a)bit.nl | +31 318 648688 Kvk: 09090351 | CROS-RIPE | GPG 3A99BD6E
