Prevention of NTP reflection attacks using TTM systems
by Romeo Zwart 13 May '14

13 May '14

Dear colleagues, During the evening of Wednesday 8 January, the RIPE NCC received initial reports about the abuse of some of our Test Traffic Measurement (TTM) systems, specifically about the use of NTP in reflection attacks. Within 24 hours of receiving the first report, we adapted the NTP configuration on all our TTM hosts so that this specific type of attack is no longer possible using the TTM infrastructure. We would like to thank Gert Doering (SpaceNet) and Michael Hausding (SWITCH-CERT) for reporting the abuse to us. We’d also like to share this resource about securing NTP servers that you may find useful: http://www.team-cymru.org/ReadingRoom/Templates/secure-ntp-template.html We are taking this opportunity to remind you that we are nearing end of service for TTM. As we announced previously, TTM shutdown is scheduled for the end of Q1, 2014. RIPE Atlas, and specifically RIPE Atlas anchors, will provide much of the functionality of TTM. More details, including information about hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor, are available at: https://atlas.ripe.net/about/anchors/ Kind regards, Romeo Zwart RIPE NCC

Five more RIPE Atlas anchors in the previous month
by Vesna Manojlovic 07 May '14

07 May '14

Dear colleagues, We are proud to announce that five new RIPE Atlas anchors have been activated since my previous announcement last month: - uy-mvd-as28000, hosted by LACNIC in Montevideo, Uruguay. (This is the first anchor in Latin America and the first one hosted by an RIR on behalf of the RIPE NCC. ) - au-bne-as4608, hosted by APNIC in Brisbane, Australia - cz-prg-as39392, hosted by SuperNetwork in Prague, Czech Republic - fr-tin-as196670, hosted by ADP in Pantin, France - be-lln-as2611 by the Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium This brings the total number of anchors to 55. All RIPE Atlas anchors can be seen on this list, where logged-in users can access each anchor's measurements: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/ We are still accepting new applications from individuals and organisations interested in hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor. We are particularly interested in deploying anchors in the Middle East, Western Asia, Latin America and Africa, in order to add more geographical diversity to the measurement data.

Research papers for IMC or other measurements conferences
by Vesna Manojlovic 15 Mar '14

15 Mar '14

Dear colleagues, a couple of researchers using RIPE Atlas brought this conference to my attention, and I noticed that the CFP deadline is approaching fast. I would be curious to hear if anyone else is planning to submit a paper based on RIPE Atlas data to IMC, or any other conference. Please let me know if you need some extra help from us: more credits, higher limits for usage of probes per measurements, or additional text for your paper. We would be grateful for your mention of the RIPE NCC and RIPE Atlas in your paper, and would like to invite you to share your results, after the conference, with RIPE community, either by presenting at RIPE meetings or publishing on RIPE Labs. Regards, Vesna IMC Details: http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/imc/2014/ The 2014 Internet Measurement Conference (IMC) is a three-day event focusing on Internet measurement and analysis. The conference is sponsored jointly by ACM SIGCOMM and ACM SIGMETRICS. IMC 2014 is the 14th in a series of highly successful Internet Measurement Workshops and Conferences. The ACM IMC 2014 conference will be held in Vancouver, BC, Canada on November 5-7, 2014. Call for papers deadline: 30 April http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/imc/2014/cfp.html
