Mastodon for the RIPE Community
by Ulka Athale 02 May '24

02 May '24

Dear all, At the last RIPE Meeting, I presented at the RIPE Community Plenary on Mastodon, asking if the RIPE NCC should run a server that would be open to community members. The presentation is at: https://ripe87.ripe.net/archives/video/1251/ The feedback we got was that this was not something we should do, or at least not right away. The main concerns were about the work involved and the difficulties in moderating a public server. Given this feedback, and considering the costs and maintenance required from our technical staff, we will not provide a server this year. However, there were also suggestions that we should dip our toe in the water. So we have started a RIPE NCC account on Mastodon that community members can follow. We hope to connect with people and also learn more about the Mastodon ecosystem. We can then revisit this question at a later date once we are familiar with the platform and we can better assess whether there is appetite for us to provide a server for the community. If you’re already on Mastodon, you can follow us at: https://mastodon.social/@ripencc. See you there! Best regards, Ulka Athale RIPE NCC

Routine Monitoring of Source Address Validation Deployment by Operators
by Brandon Zhi 26 Apr '24

26 Apr '24

Dear MANRS and RIPE members, My name is Gaoxing Zhang, and I am a computer enthusiast from the High School Competition Team at Hangzhou Dongfang High School. Recently, I've observed that although MANRS requirements mandate Source Address Validation(SAV) for its members, some operators have not fully implemented this practice in their networks. Therefore, I propose to routinely monitor the deployment status of SAV across ASNs to ensure compliance with MANRS guidelines and enhance network security. I am currently unaware of any existing projects with a similar focus. It has come to my attention that operators at IXP facilities, even including major entities like Google, fail to enable SAV. This issue also persists in-home broadband services obtained through PPPoE, which could lead to Infected Home Routers becoming sources of DDoS Attacks and Are Difficult to Trace. In my tests, I announced my IP thought tunnel on a different operator’s network and configured the Next-hop Address to a home broadband gateway obtained via PPPoE. The results indicated that Source Address Validation by China Telecom’s home broadband is only partially implemented in Mainland China, with most IP addresses from the region being accessible through this method. Here are some methods I have considered for ongoing monitoring: 1. Announce a new IP block upstream to receive inbound traffic. 2. Deploy a tunnel on the device connected to the ISP being tested, which will link to the upstream receiving the inbound traffic. 3. The IP block will not be announced to the ISP being tested but only to the upstream used to receive inbound traffic. Check the connectivity to major public DNS servers when the Next-hop address is set to the ISP being tested. 4. If it is reachable, it indicates that the ISP’s device lacks Source Address Validation. I plan to deploy test equipment at major IXPs (currently seeking equipment sponsors) and access points for some residential ISPs (with the assistance of volunteers). The testing environment will be a Linux-based VM, utilizing Python to switch Next-hop based on test targets and assess the accessibility to major public DNS servers, as well as to upload data to a backend system. I would really appreciate it if you could share your valuable suggestions or feedback on this initiative.

New RIPE Labs Article - Building a stable future for the RIPE NCC
by Remco van Mook 22 Apr '24

22 Apr '24

Dear colleagues, I’d like to draw your attention to an article that was just published on RIPE Labs, about building a stable future for the RIPE NCC. As it touches on some very foundational aspects all across the various working groups and NCC membership, I thought it important to share, and I would very much like to ask everyone for their input and ideas. In order to not spread the discussion too much across the various mailing lists, I suggest that we use the general RIPE list (which I’ve put into the reply-to field of this email. I’m currently in the process of organising a BOF during RIPE 88 on this topic as well and am looking forward to a constructive discussion! Kind regards, Remco van Mook RIPE NCC Executive Board
