Security & Compliance reports for RPKI
by Nathalie Trenaman 10 May '21

10 May '21

Dear colleagues, Security is always high on our list of priorities for RPKI. Every year, we ask an external party to carry out a security audit of our RPKI systems. This is the first year that we are publishing the security report, in an effort to increase transparency and trust in the RPKI system. Please note that the report also listed several recommendations that should be included in a penetration test. These recommendations have been redacted from the original report, as we will include them in the penetration test scheduled for June 2021. Also, some comments about the proprietary software for the Hardware Security Module have been redacted. On https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management/rpki/security-… you will now find the RFC compliance report written by Radically Open Security in 2020 and our response to their findings. We hope you will find these reports useful, and we look forward to your feedback. Kind regards, Nathalie Trenaman Routing Security Programme Manager RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: RPKI Repositories and the RIPE Database in the Cloud
by Alun Davies 10 May '21

10 May '21

Dear colleagues, The mission critical services the RIPE NCC provides to the Internet community require a solid technical foundation. In this new article on RIPE Labs, Felipe Silveira looks at plans to use cloud infrastructure as a means to that end. The full article is available here: https://labs.ripe.net/author/felipe_victolla_silveira/rpki-repositories-and… Kind regards, Alun Davies RIPE Labs Editor RIPE NCC

And I think we can all acknowledge that those risks do exist, > so would be hard to argue against. Yep, definitely no intention to argue against the principal. We all - community, legislators, etc - agree on the importance of routing security. The only concern I had was whether codifying specific ways of handling this was advisable, but if they're not being codified, that's fine. Nick

Re: [routing-wg] [cooperation-wg] Update on NIS 2: Proposed amendments by the Parliament alter scope on (root) DNS

Marco Hogewoning wrote on 07/05/2021 11:12: > We will continue to track the legislative process and keep you > informed about the progress. Hi Marco, [cc: routing-wg] Thanks for the work y'all have been doing to sort out some of the DNS scoping issues. This is really worthwhile and it looks like it changes the proposed text from something which was completely unworkable to something which isn't entirely unreasonable. I had a quick skim through the rest of the document and came across Amendment 13: > (54a) In order to safeguard the security and to prevent abuse and > manipulation of electronic communications networks and services, the > use of interoperable secure routing standards should be promoted to > guarantee the integrity and robustness of routing functions across > the ecosystem of internet carriers. > Justification > Interoperable secure routing standards are for example Resource-PKI. I'm quite concerned to see this thrown into the proposed directive at this time. Speaking as an operator who implements RPKI in multiple contexts, I'm not confident that it's matured as a technology to the point that it would be advisable to codify it in legislation. There are several reasons here, e.g. protocol limitations, implementation limitations and potential future scope creep. The protocol limitations relate to the fact that RPKI currently only deals with route origin validation, and it is trivial to bypass the security gains it provides. Geoff Huston has written a couple of articles on this over the last while, and while there are legitimate reasons to want to deploy RPKI, it's also important to understand what it can and cannot do at the moment. In particular, it lacks any scope for routing policy management, which is an integral part of routing security. Operationally, there are still significant problems relating to RPKI TA availability and integrity, and there's been a good bit of discussion on the ripe routing-wg and at the ietf about local cache synchronisation problems. In terms of scope creep, I'd be concerned that if legislators feel that RPKI is appropriate to name in legislation, they may also feel that there might be benefit to other protocols which have been defined with the aim of addressing routing security. BGPsec would be one of these. I totally get why legislators would feel that adding routing security into the cybersecurity directive would be a good thing to do, but I don't think we're there yet with the technology side of things. Would it be possible to see whether there's consensus on this position, and whether we could present some of this to the EUPARL committee in the same way that the DNS proposals were handled? Nick

request to enable ICMP echo-reply on rpki.ripe.net?
by Job Snijders 07 May '21

07 May '21

Hi RIPE NCC, hi all, In today's troubleshooting adventure, an operator experienced difficulty pinpointing where exactly a connectivity issue between them and rpki.ripe.net (193.0.6.138 + 2001:67c:2e8:22::c100:68a) resided. It would be helpful if RIPE NCC reverted disabling responding to ICMP echo requests originating from the Internet. Would it be possible to adjust the firewall settings to accomodate troubleshooting and monitoring? Right now connectivity testing has to be performed directly against the rsync daemon's internet-exposed TCP port (873) - but it would be much cheaper and faster for both the tester and the service hoster if instead ICMP echo requests could be used as an early warning system (rather than the rsync service itself). $ ping -c 6 rpki.ripe.net PING rpki.ripe.net (193.0.6.138): 56 data bytes --- rpki.ripe.net ping statistics --- 6 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss The above test result differs compared to sending echo requests to molamola.ripe.net or manus.authdns.ripe.net. Kind regards, Job

TC x IRRd 4.2
by Rubens Kuhl 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

Hi all. TC IRR, an IRR operator focused on Brazilian networks, just changed to IRRd 4.2. The new version allowed TC to deploy RPKI validation (thanks NTT for sponsoring that development) and expose HTTPS endpoints for WHOIS and submission that we hope will foster innovation around the database. Every precaution was taken for this migration to be seamless for other IRR operators, including matching of serial numbers. Every IRR server that mirrored TC and supported -j status query was verified that it followed and still correctly follows database journals. But if anything appears broken, please let me know or e-mail db-admin(a)bgp.net.br. Thanks, Rubens

Re: [routing-wg] [anti-abuse-wg] AS8003 and U.S. Department of Defense routing

[ brian lured me into the abuse circle; so reposting with routing ] interesting wg to do routing security analysis. as i do really not know the dod's or their proxy's motive(s), i can not say much about their tactics let alone strategy. i do know, and have actually seen and experienced, part of 11/8 being used as if it was 1918 space; ripe bologna was the first time. and the food in that town was fantastic! a /8 telescope would pick up leakage patterns as well as the current shotgun blast of announcements (i presume folk have looked at the actual announcements). i would naïvely think that the /8 might be slightly more easily analyzed than the pieces. maybe, as the telescope analysis shows focused leaks, they are trying to disrupt those focused uses with these focused announcements. but, if an op is using 11.12.666.0/23 internally, would they be careless enough to accept an exogenous announcement of that space? i guess i should not underestimate carelessness. is some random (small, i hope) isp using my address space internally as 1918 equivalent abusive, beyond their customers maybe not be able to reach my network? if so, maybe the vigilantes are looking in the wrong direction. randy --- randy(a)psg.com `gpg --locate-external-keys --auto-key-locate wkd randy(a)psg.com` signatures are back, thanks to dmarc header butchery
