New on RIPE Labs: Uncovering Remote Peering at IXPs
by Mirjam Kuehne 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

Dear colleagues, Ever-increasing traffic volumes create pressure for denser and more diverse peering that challenges the traditional IXP model. A fundamental shift in peering practices is Remote Peering (RP). The authors developed and tested a methodology based on RIPE Atlas to accurately identify RP, aiming to enable a more transparent peering ecosystem.: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/vgiotsas/uncovering-remote-peering-at-interne… Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

DMARC Solution Applied to this Mailing List
by Adam Castle 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

Dear Working Group, As more email providers enable Domain Message Authentication Reporting & Conformance (DMARC), some people find they can no longer receive emails from the mailing lists they are subscribed to. We have deployed a Mailman setting change to address this problem. After consultation with the RIPE Working Group Chairs, we have enabled the DMARC "Munge From" setting on all RIPE mailing lists. This means that if your email service provider has DMARC enabled, you will continue to receive all emails sent to this mailing list, but the "From" part of the header will change. If you don't have DMARC enabled, you won't see any change to the emails you receive from this mailing list. You can find more information about how we have been handling DMARC in the following RIPE Labs articles: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/adam_castle/dmarc-and-the-ripe-ncc https://labs.ripe.net/Members/adam_castle/ripe-mailing-lists-and-dmarc To ensure all working group participants are aware of the changes, I am sending this mail to all working groups. If you have any questions or encounter any issues on this mailing list, please let me know. Many thanks. Adam Castle Web Services Manager RIPE NCC

AS34991 -- hijacked
by Ronald F. Guilmette 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Is there any chance that any of you might be persuaded to have a word or two with either or both of the upstreams for AS34991, specifically with respect to the fact that that whole and entire AS has quite obviously been hijacked, and that it is currently being used and abused to announce a total of 20 completely and transparently bogus routes into various bits of IPv4 space that are allocated to various parties within the nation of Columbia, including but not limited to the National University thereof? I have already attempted to make contact with both upstreams in this case with no success and no reply so far, perhaps because I am not a european, or perhaps because I myself am not a network operator, or perhaps because I do not speak (or write) bulgarian. Below is a listing of the currently hijacked routes. Please note that the hijacker in this case quite obviously planned this all, quite carefully, and in advance of the actual hijackings, and he tried (and succeded!) to effectively legitimize all of these bogus route announcement via the simple and easy ruse of also pre-creating a set of matching, and equally bogus route objects within the RIPE data base. (As I learned the last time a case like this came up, the RIPE community, in its infinite wisdom, had made it so easy to create such route objects in the data base, with no authority or authorization whatsoever, that any baboon with a keyboard and a pulse may easily do so.) Of course, as the more observant among you may note, the domain name used for the contact email address for AS34991 has recently been re-registered, presumably after having lapsed. This indicates rather clearly, I think, that it is not merely the IPv4 blocks listed below that have been and are being hijacked, but also the AS34991 ASN itself. covfefe P.S. For the record, yes, some of the hijacked blocks in this case have already been sub-leased out to snowshoe spammers, and are being actively used for snowshoe spamming as we speak. ===================================================================== 152.204.132.0/24 -- Columbia 152.204.133.0/24 -- Columbia 152.231.25.0/24 -- Columbia 152.231.28.0/24 -- Columbia 168.176.187.0/24 -- Columbia, National University of 168.176.192.0/24 -- Columbia, National University of 168.176.194.0/24 -- Columbia, National University of 168.176.218.0/24 -- Columbia, National University of 168.176.219.0/24 -- Columbia, National University of 179.1.71.0/24 -- Columbia 181.57.40.0/24 -- Columbia 186.113.13.0/24 -- Columbia 186.113.15.0/24 -- Columbia 186.147.230.0/24 -- Columbia 190.90.31.0/24 -- Columbia 190.90.88.0/24 -- Columbia 200.1.65.0/24 -- Columbia 200.14.44.0/24 -- Columbia 200.24.3.0/24 -- Columbia 200.24.5.0/24 -- Columbia
