Re: [members-discuss] IP transfer (in)security
by Mike Burns 09 May '18

Hi Dana, We are RIPE brokers and the use of escrow is an appropriate way to ensure safety for both parties. We haven't dealt with you so I am free to comment. The key is to establish the release of funds to the seller is connected to the definition of a successful transfer performed by RIPE. Usually we ensure the relevant Whois entries have been changed, and can be confirmed by the escrow agent via RIPE's public Whois server. The assumption is that the change in Whois is the definition of transfer completion. If Whois does not change within a specified time period, or parties are notified by RIPE of a failed transfer, then the escrow agent returns funds to the buyer. This structure is important because in every transfer there is an uncontrollable third-party (RIPE) with veto power. We have completed over 500 transfers, and in only one case was there a Whois change that was later challenged by RIPE, and that was a legacy transfer which has certain different characteristics from a non-legacy transfer. So your broker is steering you in the right direction to ensure protection for both buyer and seller. You just need a trustworthy third-party to act as escrow agent, somebody unrelated to buyer or seller whom both trust to hold the funds while RIPE processes the transfer, and releases to seller upon completion or back to buyer if the transfer fails. Most escrow agents will release funds to the seller with the buyer acceptance of the completion of the transfer. Buyer acknowledges receipt, and funds are then released. We prefer escrow agents who do not require buyer release, but who can depend on monitoring and verifying Whois changes themselves, since RIPE makes the data publicly accessible. Then when Whois changes, there is no way for the buyer to prevent release of funds to the seller for any reason. We find IPv4 transfer to be largely risk-free with the use of appropriate escrow agents. You should get reference from the escrow agent of course. Regards and good luck, Mike Burns ------- Original Message ------- >From : Dana Konkin (Onwave)[mailto:Dana.Konkin@onwave.com] Sent : 5/9/2018 7:54:37 AM To : members-discuss(a)ripe.net Cc : Subject : RE: [members-discuss] IP transfer (in)security Greetings all. We have gone to a RIPE broker to obtain IPs that we badly need for upcoming customers. Never having been through this process before I am slightly timid because of the cost of IPs these days, and so the plan is to use escrow. So, my question relates to how to avoid getting my employer to hand out a wad of cash without a clear means to be totally secure that they will be able to use the IPs. Is it possible to obtain from RIPE a guaranteed way for the Escrow agent to check with 100% accuracy that the IP transfer has been accepted by RIPE, that we can begin announcing and using the prefix, and that my company is safe to release money to the seller of the IP addresses? Thanks very much Dana PS -My apology for not being able to find any previous answer to this in the archives.

Hello, all. What do you think if the NCC allow to merge accounts of the same company without 24 months restriction? I thing this question should be discussed on the RIPE meeting in Marseille. ----- Kind regards, Alexey

Russian government blocked 18mln IPs at 20/04/2018
by Juri 30 Apr '18

30 Apr '18

Hello everybody, Short update. Russian authorities block about 18.858 mln IPv4 right now trying to get Telegram messenger down with no success. Life statistics and graphs https://usher2.club/en/ A lot of services where affected. RKN added to block list big IPs block of Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Digital Ocean, Aruba, OVH, Hezner. They started to block popular Europe datacenters. Such things should never happen, Internet should be protected from such issues. Just examples (information from https://t.me/rknshowtime) Blocked subnets: 35.176.0.0/15 - Amazon Data Services UK 51.15.0.0/16 - ONLINE_NET_DEDICATED_SERVERS_NL 18.204.0.0/14 - Amazon Technologies Inc. 91.121.0.0/16 - OVH SAS 46.101.128.0/17 - Digital Ocean, Inc. 185.166.212.0/23 - Clouding.io Virtual Machine Hosting 178.63.0.0/16 - Hetzner Online GmbH 51.136.0.0/15 - Microsoft Limited UK 18.218.0.0/16 - Amazon Technologies Inc. 18.236.0.0/15 - Amazon.com, Inc. 54.64.0.0/13 - Amazon Technologies Inc. 23.251.128.0/19 - Google LLC 174.138.0.0/17 - DigitalOcean, LLC 188.166.0.0/17 - Digital Ocean, Inc. 159.203.0.0/16 - DigitalOcean, LLC 128.199.0.0/16 - DigitalOcean Cloud 159.65.0.0/16 - DigitalOcean, LLC Any blacklisting buy networks is a bad idea. -- Juri +7 (499) 346-76-29

Russian government blocked 2mln IPs at 16/04/2018
by Juri 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Good time of day! I want to bring up discussion about situation in Internet inside Russian Federation. I find current situation not good for Internet, not good for RIPE community, for ISPs and for progress itself. Short background. Russian government asked Telegram messenger service (like Viber, Watsup, etc, they can be the next) to give them keys of end-to-end encryption between users. Telegram refused to give it because it stands for freedom, constitution rights of people and telegram says it's not possible to give that keys because they don't have it. At least at Friday 13 of April 2018 they blocked websites of Telegram and at Monday 16 they blocked all technical networks of Telegram inside Russian Federation. This Monday was really nice and fun day when users of the Telegram, the most popular messenger application in Russia, started to add VPN/Socks settings to unblock telegram. Telegram users are good in IT and a lot of people keep telegram online and use it. What did Russian government (who keeps using Telegram messenger as well) started to do? Yes, They started to block VPN services that gives free socks5 proxies and VPNs for telegram users. A lot of such services were based on Amazon Cloud. So, at the evening RKN (aka Roskonadzor, advisory of telecom) started to add IPv4 networks in Russian blocklist (= blackhole). Example of networks that were added to Russian blocklist/blackhole Amazone <ipSubnet ts="2018-04-16T17:35:00+03:00">52.58.0.0/15</ipSubnet> <ipSubnet ts="2018-04-16T17:47:00+03:00">18.196.0.0/15</ipSubnet> <ipSubnet ts="2018-04-16T17:47:00+03:00">18.194.0.0/15</ipSubnet> <ipSubnet ts="2018-04-16T19:57:00+03:00">18.184.0.0/15</ipSubnet> <ipSubnet ts="2018-04-16T17:47:00+03:00">35.156.0.0/14</ipSubnet> GOOGLE CLOUD <ipSubnet ts="2018-04-16T20:21:00+03:00">35.192.0.0/12</ipSubnet> A lot of businesses were affected even some bank companies, processing and others who where using Amazon services. Amount of small companies affected is very large. Big companies? Apple services were affected too as I found. A lot of application use Amazon cloud. Just for info. Some time ago Russian gov wanted to integrate blackhole based on BGP (and that's bring up the question about whole internet stability). Because they break local internet time to time. You can track amount of IPs in blocklist monitoring at https://2018.schors.spb.ru/ A lot of news web sites write about this situation. Сonclusion. I don't find this situation suitable for any country. I know and fully understand that it's not easy to find consensus in discussions of such things. But I wish and I want community think about such issues. They should not happen in any country. We are as RIPE community are responsible for Internet stability and safety and making this Internet better. I want RIPE community offer how we should protect normal internet users of all countries from unintelligent, irrational and very bad behavior of local authorities. I think it's not good idea to assign any IPs for such authorities. Consensus should be found. -- Juri NTX Hosting

Improvements to the members-discuss Mailing List
by Fergal Cunningham 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

Dear RIPE NCC members, The members-discuss mailing list is the main forum for members to discuss issues of importance for the membership among themselves. However, subscribed members have increasingly experienced problems when many people requested to unsubscribe on the list, resulting in unwanted email for all subscribers. In response to requests to address this issue, we have made improvements to the subscribe and unsubscribe options for the RIPE NCC Membership Discussion mailing list. A summary of the changes is as follows: Subscribing - Subscription to the list is carried out in the usual way via the Subscribed Mailing Lists section in https://my.ripe.net. - All members who subscribe to members-discuss will receive an email asking them to confirm their subscription. Once members confirm subscription, they will receive a welcome email with a password and instructions on how to unsubscribe. - The option to subscribe has been removed from the New LIR sign-up process. Instead, members receive an email six months after activation informing them of their full member status and how to join the members discuss list. Unsubscribing Members can now unsubscribe from the list in three ways: - By clicking a personalised unsubscribe link that appears in the footer of emails they receive from the members-discuss list. You will need to use the password you received when subscribing (a forgot password functionality is available). The personalised link will also show the email address that you are subscribed to the list with. This will help to address issues with people subscribed via a role account or alias. - By sending an email to members-discuss(a)ripe.net with the subject "unsubscribe". - Unsubscribing from the list is possible in the usual way via the Subscribed Mailing Lists section in https://my.ripe.net. Members will receive an email asking them to confirm unsubscription. The members-discuss list is currently moderated but we plan to remove moderation shortly. If you have any questions about the changes, please let me know. Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Membership Communications Officer RIPE NCC

Email issues with RIPE NCC for new LIRs
by Staff 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Dear all! I would like to bring one new issue with RIPE NCC to public. This situation mostly rely on new members and new LIRs. RIPE NCC started to censor email names and filter them as much as they want. And that also depends from RIPE NCC staff that take a ticket. This makes delays in ticket processing because we spend about 1-2 weeks already for new company LIRs because RIPE NCC staff refuse to continue until they see the email name they like and we have to create email by email so they like it I found this completely inconvenient, useful and unfriendly. This situation should be changed. Last months RIPE NCC changed a lot of things in the usual work and become harder to do simplest things with RIPE NCC staff. Currently RIPE stopped to accept my personal email that I use for almost 10 years. This email contains from one symbol in it's name. Please see some examples ------- In order for our Registration Department to be able to process resources requests, LIRs must first have a personal SSO account. Generic role SSO accounts such as info(a)ripe.net etc. cannot be accepted. We require a personal SSO account such as: Johnsmith(a)ripe.net for example. The email provided 1(a)ntx.ru cannot be accepted. ... Nicole Castaibert (RIPE NCC Support) --------- All nicknames, short names, names of the company in email also not accepted by RIPE NCC anymore. So we have to create new emails and use new emails with some name in it. But the main useless of all of that - that new LIR can change registration account email after LIR registration done. So this all they require is useless. That takes my time, time of my staff, time of RIPE NCC staff that get paid from LIR members fees. I found that RIPE NCC work does not comply with the proper quality standards and not members oriented. -- Jury Bogdanov NOC/Hostmaster +7 (499) 346-76-29

Database Abuse
by Tim Armstrong 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

Hi all, Every so often this issue crops up it's ugly head again, RIPE DB abuse is a real problem. Yet again we are receiving unsolicited sales pitches via an e-mail address we only use for the contact details in our RIPE DB entries. We've all seen it; people offering to buy IPv4 blocks, people offering to sell IPv4 blocks, DDoS filtering, etc. It's a plague of poorly constructed pitches for services none of us want to waste time reading about. If we want such products, we all know how find them, and yet the e-mails don't stop coming. I am not one for publicly shaming other members of the community, but if it doesn't stop, I don't see how I have a choice. They need to learn that database abuse leads to boycott. The database is an operations tool for de-bugging and reporting issues & abuse; not a sales team's list of "potential leads". I hate to bring this subject up again, but is there really nothing structural we can do about this? At a minimum we could occlude e-mail addresses from the public DB, instead having public complaint submitted via a webform on the NCC website, requiring the uninitiated to realise this is an abuse / complaint contact, not a sales opportunity. Thanks, Tim. -- *Tim Armstrong*Dark Lord of Network Operations +31 6 175 444 72 <+31617544472>

Moderation Enabled on Members-Discuss/Subscription Information
by Fergal Cunningham 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

Dear colleagues, Due to the number of unsubscribe requests, we have temporarily enabled moderation on <members-discuss(a)ripe.net>. We will disable this once these emails cease. We will also make sure appropriate messages are put through to the list. If you are receiving these emails and you did not subscribe to the members-discuss list, it is possible that a colleague subscribed you or a role account/email alias that you use. Please check your LIR account settings: https://my.ripe.net/#/account-details For those of you who are unfamiliar with this mailing list, you can find more information below. Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Membership Communications Officer RIPE NCC ***How to Unsubscribe*** To unsubscribe, log in to your LIR account and go to your account settings: https://my.ripe.net/#/account-details At the bottom of the page you will see "Subscribed Mailing Lists" - here you can add or remove email addresses. Subscription changes take up to an hour to be processed. What if you have never heard of RIPE, the RIPE NCC or LIR accounts? - The RIPE NCC is a Regional Internet Registry (RIR) that manages the system of IP addresses. The members-discuss mailing list is where our members discuss issues relating to their membership. - If you are receiving these emails, it means that your company is one of our members, and someone in your IT or network engineering department has likely subscribed your email address to our mailing list. - It may be that an email alias (e.g. hostmaster(a)yourcompany.com or customerservices(a)yourcompany.com) was used to subscribe to this list. Emails to this alias may then be forwarded to a number of different email accounts within your organisation. We have no control over this. - Unfortunately, we are unable to unsubscribe you ourselves, because this would involve accessing your member account. - If you have never heard of the RIPE NCC and are unable to log into LIR account, you may want to talk with your IT or network engineering department. They will likely have login details needed to change the email account that is used to subscribe to the mailing list. You can also email <ncc(a)ripe.net> and we can help you access your account. Further questions? We are happy to discuss this further, but please do not email <members-discuss(a)ripe.net>. Instead, please email <ncc(a)ripe.net>.
