[Apologies if you've already seen this announcement in other forums.] Request for participation - Arbor 2011 Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report. ----- Folks, We're in the process of collecting survey responses for the 2011 Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report (WWISR); this is the Seventh Edition of the Report, and we'd really be grateful for your participation! This is the only security-focused survey we're aware of which is specifically oriented towards those who design, build, operate, and defend public-facing network infrastructure/applications/services, and provides an opportunity to share your experiences and perspectives with your peers within the operational community, as well as to benefit from their shared experiences and perspectives. The 2011 Infrastructure Security Survey is up and available for your input. You can register and complete the survey via this URL, which will redirect your browser to the survey tool (the survey itself is accessed via http/s): <http://www.arbornetworks.com/survey/ISR2011> Once again, we've added several insightful questions from past participants. Survey collection will end as soon as we've reached the desired number of respondents (ideally, 100+). The survey results will be published in the 2011 Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report during January of 2012. Also, please note that *no* personally- or organizationally-identifiable information will be shared in any manner. The 2010 edition of the Report is available here (registration required): <http://www.arbornetworks.com/report> Thanks in advance! ----- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins(a)arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com>

Fwd: New mailing list hardware and software at the RIPE NCC
by Mihnea-Costin Grigore 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is in the process of updating its mailing list hardware and software. This will allow us to implement new features on the mailing lists, such as a complex search functionality throughout the archives. The new servers are currently undergoing testing and will be put into production today -- 13 October, 2011. You do not need to take any action and all subscriptions and settings will be copied over to the new system. However, we would like to inform you that, after implementation, the mailing list archives will have a slightly different look and you will need to update any direct links to messages in the archives. A description of all RIPE and RIPE NCC mailing lists can be found here: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Please contact us at webmaster(a)ripe.net if you encounter any issues following the implementation. Regards, -- Mihnea-Costin Grigore RIPE NCC Web Services Team Leader - http://www.ripe.net/

Resource Certification/RPKI Workshop at RIPE 63
by Alex Band 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

RIPE 63 attendees interested in Resource Certification/RPKI are encouraged to take part in a workshop on Monday, 31 October from 9:30-12:30 in the Park Congress 2+3 rooms. ===================== What you'll learn ===================== The workshop will focus on BGP Origin Validation, based on the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). You will learn how RPKI enables network operators to make more reliable routing decisions and how it protects against accidental mis-origination, the most common routing error we see today. Using various open-source tools from rpki.net and the RIPE NCC, you will be able to set up a resource certificate and create Route Origin Authorisation (ROA) objects, stating which Autonomous Systems are authorised to originate the prefixes you hold. After publishing your ROAs, you can validate them and configure routers to set routing preferences based on the RPKI status of your prefixes. This workshop will be a collaboration between Rob Austein, Randy Bush, Michael Elkins, Benno Overeinder (NLNet Labs), Jac Kloots (SURFnet), Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks and the RIPE NCC. ========================= Participation Details ========================= You do not need to register for this workshop. There are no prerequisites for using the rpki.net tools. In order to generate a certificate and configure ROAs on the RIPE NCC pilot server, you'll need to have an LIR Portal user account with access to the certification system or know the administrator credentials for your LIR Portal account. More information: http://ripe.net/certification/enable.html If you don't have an LIR Portal account or the necessary administrator credentials, you can still participate. We look forward to seeing you in Vienna! Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC
