[ncc-announce] RIPE NCC publishes case study of youtube.com hijack
by Daniel Karrenberg 01 Mar '08

01 Mar '08

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, As you may be aware from recent news reports, traffic to the youtube.com website was 'hijacked' on a global scale on Sunday, 24 February 2008. The incident was a result of the unauthorised announcement of the prefix 208.65.153.0/24 and caused the popular video sharing website to become unreachable from most, if not all, of the Internet. The RIPE NCC conducted an analysis into how this incident was seen and tracked by the RIPE NCC's Routing Information Service (RIS) and has published a case study at: http://www.ripe.net/news/study-youtube-hijacking.html The RIPE NCC RIS is a service that collects Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing information from roughly 600 peers at 16 Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) across the world. Data is stored in near real-time and can be instantly queried by anyone to provide multiple views of routing activity for any point in time. The RIS forms part of the RIPE NCC's suite of Information Services, which together provide a deeper insight into the workings of the Internet. The RIPE NCC is a neutral and impartial organisation, and commercial interests therefore do not influence the data collected. The RIPE NCC Information Services suite also includes the Test Traffic Measurement (TTM) service, the DNS Monitoring (DNSMON) service and Hostcount. All of these services are available to anyone, and most of them are offered free of charge. More information about RIPE NCC Information Services can be found at: http://is-portal.ripe.net Regards, Daniel Karrenberg Chief Scientist, RIPE NCC __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 2913 (20080301) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com

Important change to RIPE NCC services
by RIPE Database Manager 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, On Wednesday, 27 February 2008, between 17:00 and 19:00 (UTC), RIPE NCC staff will replace the web server www.ripe.net. This change means there are some possible issues that you need to be aware of. The IP address of www.ripe.net will change on Wednesday, 27 February. If you have any software that connects to this website, you should ensure that the IP address is not hard coded. The change will also result in a new URL for the syncupdates service. Most of the client software that uses syncupdates should be able to handle HTTP redirects, return code 301. If your software does this, then it will continue to work, though it is still advisable that you configure your software to use the new URL. If your software cannot handle HTTP redirects, you will need to update the URL in your software before Wednesday, February 27, to continue using this service. We would also advise that you fully implement HTTP handling in your software to avoid any future problems. The current syncupdates URLs are: http://www.ripe.net/syncupdates http://www.ripe.net/syncupdates-test These will change to: http://syncupdates.db.ripe.net http://syncupdates-test.db.ripe.net There will be a period between Wednesday, 13 February, and Wednesday, 27 February, when both the new and old syncupdates URLs will be available. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please send an e-mail to <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Agoston Horvath Software Engineer, RIPE NCC
