Improving Mitigation of Web-based Threats
by Oliver Payne 02 Apr '21

02 Apr '21

Dear colleagues, In order to help mitigate Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against our web infrastructure, we have started testing Cloudflare's DDoS protection services in parts of our production environment as of today. We have seen an increase in the amount and severity of attacks in recent weeks, and this measure will give us added protection. Cloudflare will be used on an experimental basis, with our 24x7 engineers on standby to monitor the situation closely. If we encounter any issues in configuring it, we have the capability to roll the entire infrastructure back to its original state within 60 seconds. We are also investigating other options for longer-term improvements to the resilience of our web infrastructure during DDoS attacks in the coming months. If you have any questions or would like to share your feedback, please reach out to me. Kind regards, Oliver Payne Web Services Team Manager RIPE NCC

The request was discussed by the TF and as a result, the TF communicated that the membership of the TF had been decided and that it wouldn't make sense at that point to add more members as the work was well underway. In addition to that the TF took a number of steps to increase transparency and to make it easier to contribute to the work of the TF. Kind regards, Mirjam

Re: [ripe-list] [routing-wg] Call for Presentations - RIPE 82
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

I've moved this to the plenary list, because I think it deserves some more ample discussion. I'm with Job here. In my opinion pre-recorded material must be fine if the presenter is also available for Q&A. We need to take advantage of time and available resources in all the meetings. In fact, my question here is why those decisions are taken by the WG chairs? It must be a community decision! Regards, Jordi @jordipalet El 20/3/21 14:17, "routing-wg en nombre de Mirjam Kuehne" <routing-wg-bounces(a)ripe.net en nombre de mir(a)zu-hause.nl> escribió: Hi all, The topic of pre-recorded presentations was discussed at the RIPE WG chairs meeting after RIPE 81. Many people on the call felt that while there might be good reasons, this should be the exception as it doesn’t allow for the interaction we would like to see at RIPE Meetings. Some WG chairs are considering to make some (possibly pre-recorded) presentations available prior to the RIPE meeting to allow for more discussion time at the meeting itself. Watching pre-recorded talks live wasn’t seen as the best use of RIPE meeting time.

You are not alone: RIPE Community Resilience in a Pandemic
by Vesna Manojlovic 22 Mar '21

22 Mar '21

Dear colleagues and friends, I’ve been missing you for a whole year; it’s been a demanding and painful period for many of us. In addition to being networkers with an important job of maintaining resiliency of the Internet infrastructure, RIPE Community is a collection of human beings; I was wondering how are we taking care of our own "capacity to recover quickly from difficulties". That's why I wanted to reach out and say: you are not alone! ... but, it turned out that I had so much more to share! While I was struggling to organise the many topics of what pandemic resilience might mean to the RIPE community, it occurred to me to map the classification of universal needs - illustrated by the popular Maslow’s pyramid - to the OSI Layers model, familiar to all networkers: Layer 1: Physical / Physiological needs Layer 2: Data Link / Safety needs Layer 3: Network / Belonging needs Layer 4: Transport / Esteem needs (ACK = acknowledgement) Layer 5: Session / Need for Understanding (cognitive) Layer 6: Presentation / Need for Beauty (aesthetic) Layer 7: Application / Need for (self) actualisation Layer 8: Financial / Need for Contribution (community-actualisation) Layer 9: Political / Need for Justice (cultural perpetuity) Please find the first two articles on RIPE Labs: Article 0 = introduction: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/you-are-not-alone-ripe-community-resili… Layer 1: Physical / Physiological needs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-community-resilience-physical-layer Stay tuned for the next layers! And please do share your BCP on how you are coping! Wishing you health and well-being, Vesna Manojlovic -- Community Builder RIPE NCC
