false accusations about Rob McEwen (from invaluement) posted to this list
by Rob McEwen 12 May '20

12 May '20

About once or twice a month, I google "invaluement" combined with looking for search results from the past month, to look for recent mentions of "invaluement". This not only helps me to gauge interest, it also helps me to find rare false positive "signals" that might have been just under my radar. Today, I noticed this little gem: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/opensource-wg/2020-April.txt Let me just say unequivocally that I an NOT "Rob Shultz" from Spamhaus. I've never even heard of him. If you held a gun to my head and said, "tell me all the names of those who work at Spamhaus", on a good day, when my memory is doing good, I might be able to come up with 3, and this isn't one of those. (I converse with someone there on average less than once per year.... more like once per 3 years!) I am fond of Spamhaus and I think they do great work, so I actually take this accusation as a compliment! But neither I nor invaluement is connected or associated with Spamhaus in any way. We're merely friendly competitors. The last time (and ONLY time) I saw any of them in person was at a M3WAAG conference in Atlanta in 2015. (I don't get out much!). The last time I talked to one of them was at a recent zoom-like "virtual" email conference, where that particular session had multiple participants from many anti-spam blacklists. But that was rare. Otherwise, I've maybe had 2 conversations with them in the past 5 years. We don't share ANY data with each other. Come to think of it, we really SHOULD probably communicate more often! I'm actually sort of embarrassed to admit here how little I get out and connect with others in my industry! So this post is basically loony. But I did get a good laugh out of it. Thanks for the entertainment! -- Rob McEwen https://www.invaluement.com

My response to Ronald Guilmette
by Elad Cohen 17 Apr '20

17 Apr '20

Hello Everyone, Please forgive me for not writing an official response in first set of Ronald's online madness months ago, I was out of hospital after full anesthesia and it took me months to get back to myself. Ronald is misery person with nothing and with no one in his life, the only joy that he have in his life - is for him to serve as the front person of the illegal anonymous organization "The Spamhaus Project". Here is a presentation that "The Spamhaus Project" wrote on themselves (in the following link) and according to it Spamhaus is an illegal anonymous organization - they receive a massive amount of illegally obtained privacy data of internet users from internet companies and internet organizations on a regular basis - and then they share it in illegal way (without any warranty) with law enforcement agencies. https://www.scribd.com/document/445894312/Spamhaus-Illegal-Private-Data-Vio… Ronald doesn't deny himself being part of "The Spamhaus Project", not only that - but his old friend Hank Nussbacher is also part of the illegal anonymous organization "The Spamhaus Project", Hank reminds me Judas Iscariot - Hank obviously have other interests - it is very sad to see a person at the age of Hank acting like a little child. All the few reports that were made were made by reporters which are connected to "The Spamhaus Project" and that are part of "The Spamhaus Project" - not only that, the source of the media reports is a person in "The Spamhaus Project" which is the owner of that illegal twitter account: https://twitter.com/underthebreach , that person is a criminal according to his own words in his own twitter account - and that person is also a master of cyber influence operations (just like what Coconut Guilmette and Cheerleader Nussbacher are doing here, to influence public opinion without any single proof) - and the owner of that twitter account is also an employee of the israeli-based company GeoEdge which financially benefit from that media report because they are a direct competitor of the company using the exact same netblock, so now I'm explaining to you that that root of this all fake story is just business competition, and in addition Coconut Guilmette also attacked the Israeli-based company Divinetworks in Nanog (Coconut Guilmette searched an unreasonable way why they received a specific grant from a global world organization and also defamed them) - so here is why he did it - the Israeli-based company Divinetworks is also a direct competitor of the Israeli-based company GeoEdge - that their employee is a criminal and the owner of the illegal twitter account https://twitter.com/underthebreach and also the "source" for the fake few media reports. In the following link you can see how a high manager in GeoEdge is highly proud in how customers attracted to him after the "low value" of competitors, if only the world would knew how that company does business. https://imgur.com/7DF1NSP That company GeoEdge is not only a criminal company in the way that they do business (because their criminal employee in "The Spamhaus Project" is the one pumped Coconut Guilmette proof-less ideas), but that company is also a criminal in the way that they are tax-evading since 2005 (they are registered in Cyprus with fake-single-owner abroad while they have more actual hidden owners in Israel that didn't pay any tax for their income since 2005, and one of the registered owners is using an international fake name and he is a professional money-laundering person, not only for that Israeli company). They (Coconut Guilmette, Cheerleader Nussbacher and their mob friends at "The Spamhaus Project") are very very afraid of me releasing all the information that I found out on the illegal anonymous organization "The Spamhaus Project" - and that is the only reason that they are attacking me personally in such way, they are trying to ruin my good name - but they didn't succeed and they will not succeed - because anyone that knows me and anyone that will personally know me - will know what they are trying to do and that what they are writing is 100% false. All the personal attack against me - is only because I dared to stood up against "The Spamhaus Project" which is intimidating and hurting many businesses online, and I would and will do it again and again and again, I'm not the kind of a misery bendover jew like Hank that will sell his values and his being for a title, a group acceptance or a few cents. Coconut Guilmette, is not only a sick person, in body and mind, but also a racist and an antisemitic, you can see in the following links his stereotypical mindset: https://imgur.com/AcmgwEX (Coconut Guilmette opinion on all Dutch people as a whole - "Dutch are any more inclined toward cybercrime") https://imgur.com/WUZvdNJ (Coconut Guilmette opinion on all Colombian Network Operators usage of the internet as a whole - "Undoubtedly drug smuggling over HTTP") https://imgur.com/a/1ULfVEC (Coconut Guilmette opinion on the City of Chicago including all of its citizens as a whole - "American city most known for its high ideals and consistantly ethical behavior, Chicago") https://imgur.com/AQCmZlk (Coconut Guilmette identified as racist in Nanog) https://imgur.com/a/Rzrbxkz (Coconut Guilmette identified as antisemitic in Nanog) Besides the above links, Coconut Guilmette is specifically calling me with two words and here he is quoting Shakespeare: https://imgur.com/AcmgwEX , the two words that Coconut Guilmette is calling me are being used in Shakespeare litrature to identify jews in an antisemitic way, Coconut Guilmette is an antisemitic, I'm very sorry to write it but Ripe is not a decisive organization towards racism or antisemitism, the Tone in Ripe management and in Ripe board and in this working group co-chairs, is a very narrow tone that only reflect the good of the people in their positions, Ripe board & management are not taking any actions for Ripe to be a multi-culture multi-national unpolitical organization that it needs to be with the tolerance to anyone and with the decisive intolerance to racism or antisemitism. The encouragement of Cheerleader Nussbacher is even worst because Cheerleader Nussbacher is encouraging someone which is a racist and an antisemitic. Hank, how more self-hating jew can you be ? to support such person only to be part of an illegal anonymous organization ? to support racism ? to support antisemitism ? And to the rest of the community, anyone that wrote to this person - "nice story, but you could say it in other words" - you are a lowlife as Hank is, you don't treat a racist or an antisemitic person with tolerance, period. Ripe is a RIR which is spread over 3 continents over many countries, Ripe members are different from each other by all means, I would expect Ripe community not to tolerate racism in any way and when Ripe members see it - to stand up - like I dared to stand up against "The Spamhaus Project". Ron, seeing a person at your age that knows to get attention only by using racism and antisemitism is sad, but seeing the lowlife Judas Iscariot cheerleading your mental illness is sadder. Here are only some of the real identities of the people behind "The Spamhaus Project": "Rob Shultz" - Rob McEwen (https://www.invaluement.com/) "Thomas Morrison" - Daniel R. Thomas (https://personal.cis.strath.ac.uk/d.thomas/) "Pete Dawes" - Ildiko Pete (https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~ip358/) "Vincent Hanna" - Vincent Schonau of Open-Xchange (https://www.linkedin.com/in/vincentschonau/) "Milly Fawcett" - Kelly Molloy of FarSight Security (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-molloy-b886442/) Among others Commericial companies behind "The Spamhaus Project": ThreatSTOP FarSight Security Fastly Cymru Among others Keep on playing with me Coconut Guilmette and Cheerleader Nussbacher and I guarantee to you that the full list will be written here, you can hurt me as much as you please - I am not boneless and will not fold like Hank "Judas Iscariot" Nussbacher. The only reason that Coconut Guilmette returned to life in this thread - is because I wrote two days ago the real identity of "Rob Shultz" (which is Rob McEwen of https://www.invaluement.com/ ) to the co-chairs of this working group with CC to Ripe Board and to Ripe Management, I asked for the initial post of lies of Coconut Guilmette to be removed and I showed to them the relation of one of the current co-chairs of that working group to the illegal anonymous organization "The Spamhaus Project" which the poster Coconut Guilmette is related to it too. (also in the past there was a co-chair of that working group which is part of "The Spamhaus Project", Richard D G Cox, as you can see in his presentation that I linked to it above) That is the only reason (that I revealed that "Rob Shultz" from "The Spamhaus Project" is Rob McEwen) that Coconut Guilmette and Boneless Nussbacher are personally attacking me, not only that - but soon you will also see a new fake media report about me from the same reporter that used the criminal https://twitter.com/underthebreach as his source - all of it (like it was then and like they are trying to do now) - is to maneuver the subject of who are the real people behind "The Spamhaus Project" and to which internet companies and internet organizations they are connected to. "The Spamhaus Project" is an illegal anonymous organization and an unregulated organization, by being unregulated it is abused by the some of the members of it for making money, without any supervision, for example the criminal which is the owner of the illegal twitter account https://twitter.com/underthebreach that did what it did only that GeoEdge will earn a few more cents, such as Laura Atkins from WordToTheWise which is selling a Spamhaus listing removal service (https://wordtothewise.com) such as Vincent Schonau (AKA "Vincent Hanna" of "The Spamhaus Project") from Open-Xchange, a company that Spamhaus are attacking its competitors, and there are many more Spamhaus members that are using Spamhaus for their financial benefits. "The Spamhaus Project" - by being unregulated and unsupervised - is also being used as tool to attack business competitors, this is something that should wake up each and every member of the internet community. Hank, why do you let Coconut Guilmette to do the hard work for you (of defaming me) ? because you know that he have nothing in his life and a lawsuit against him will not result any financial aid ? why are you abusing his mental illness ? you know that he is not fine, why don't you help him like a good old friend ? Go ahead and write what Ron is writing so I will be able to sue you locally in Israel (I'm willing to pay you 100,000 NIS if you are right in a single thing that you wrote or that you will write against me, are you willing to do the same ? are you willing to put your money where your words are? or are you boneless that can only exploit the state of your old friend? ) I respect Ripe NCC and Respect all the members of Ripe Anti-Abuse Working Group. (P.S.: you can recognize now any member of "The Spamhaus Project" that will jump now, if he will attack me or support Ron, you can just ask him a simple question - "show us a single proof" - and you will see that no proof will be displayed, because all of it is part of an illegal "cyber influence operation" by "The Spamhaus Project" pumped by the criminal https://twitter.com/underthebreach) Respectfully, Elad

new project: DHCP Protect
by Pascal Gloor 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

Hi Community, NOTE: I hope this post is appropriate in this mailinglist, please let me know if it isn’t. I don’t know about you, but as an ISP we’ve always faced the problem of crazy DHCP clients (v4 and v6) flooding our servers. While at my employer we have a proprietary DHCP server with anti-flood mechanisms it might not the case for everyone. This is why I wrote DHCP Protect. DHCP Protect works with the userspace API of Netfilter (iptables/ip6tables) and will treat each DHCP(v4/v6) packet and decide if it should be forwarded or not. Don’t worry, iptables can be configured in a way that if the program is not working, it will ACCEPT the packets by default. There are no packages available, but don’t be scared, it’s really simple to install and it will do all the systemd stuff for you! After make install it will already be running (you can also make uninstall which will delete everything and remove it from systemd). git clone https://git.home.spale.com/dhcp_protect.git cd dhcp_protect sudo apt-get install build-essential uthash-dev libnetfilter-queue-dev make all sudo make install That’s it. And then you need the iptables/ip6tables rule: iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 67 -j NFQUEUE --queue-num 67 --queue-bypass ip6tables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 547 -j NFQUEUE --queue-num 67 --queue-bypass (SAME queue number! the program can treat v4/v6 at the same time) It doesn’t need to be on the DHCP server itself, it can also be run on the path, in that case replace INPUT by FORWARD. The program will log to syslog when it blacklists. I’ve tested this with 10kpps and the CPU load of the program was about 4-6% on one core (AMD Ryzen 7 2700X). There’s also a flooding perl client in the repository to test the performance. It can do pseudo DHCPv4/DHCPv6, but since it’s pseudo, don’t use the perftest.pl against a real DHCP server. More information in the README -> https://git.home.spale.com/public/dhcp_protect I’d be glad on feedback! It is useful? what additional features would you like to see? Thanks for reading Pascal

Agenda Open Source WG for the upcoming RIPE 79 in Amsterdam
by Martin Winter 27 Sep '19

27 Sep '19

A. Administrative Matters (Working Group Chairs) Welcome finalize agenda approval of minutes from previous WG meeting(s) review of action list B. Collaborative Open Source: MANRS Validator (Leslie Daigle, ThinkingCat Enterprises) This presentation will show early results from an ongoing collaborative open source software project to build a validator tool for the MANRS (Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security) project. The project demonstrates the feasibility of applying concrete, objective tests to MANRS, as well as the need for cross-organizational collaboration to develop such tools. This presentation will outline key steps so far in this pilot project for collaborative open source. C. Recent development of the RPKI Validator project (Mikhail Puzanov, RIPE) RIPE NCC has been developing its own RPKI validator since 2010. The latest version 3 was started in 2017 as an attempt to address the issues found over years of usage in the RPKI validator version 2. While certain issues have been resolved, many new ones were introduced causing multiple bugs and reputation damage. The presentation mostly goes about the choice of Java-technologies and the efforts taken to change it. It also covers the progress in the latest developments and some changes between versions 3.0 and 3.1. D. NGI0: The Next Generation Internet initiative (Michiel Leenaars, Director of Strategy at NLnet Foundation) The Next Generation Internet initiative is a significant new effort aimed at strengthening the internet community. NGI was bootstrapped in 2016 at the initiative of the European Commission. The ambition of NGI is “to re-imagine and re-engineer the internet” in a human-centric way. An innovative grantmaking scheme and delivery mechanism focused on open source, open standards and open hardware to make the internet more trustworthy, resilient and and sustainable, both societally, economically and environmentally. NGI Zero invites you to consider to joining over 100 others in ‘working for the internet’ E. Automating networks using Salt, without running Proxy Minions (Mircea Ulinic, DigitalOcean) Salt is an agent-based open source software used to automate the management and configuration of infrastructure and application at scale. It typically requires a Salt Minion service to be running on the node managed with Salt. While this is not a blocker on any server generally speaking, in the networking world, it is not possible to install custom software on the network gear you want to manage. This is why a few years ago SaltStack, the company maintaining Salt, introduced the Proxy Minion, which is a derivative of the regular Minion, just that it doesn’t need to be installed on the targeted device, as it can run anywhere. Similar to the regular Minion, you need to manage as many Proxy Minion services as network devices you have. This comes with a considerable cost - as in managing the infrastructure, operational, training of the users, and so on - not always justified. For example, there are many cases in the networking world where we need to interact with the device only once or twice a year, however those interactions must be consistent and safe, thus automation is the only way to go; but keeping a service up and running during this time is not an ideal solution F. OpenSource Lightening Updates These are short updates on different relevant OpenSource projects. They should be 5 mins (preferably) with a maximum of 10 mins (if space allows). No formal submission required ahead of RIPE, but please send a short message to opensource-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net (mailto:opensource-wg-chairs@ripe.net) by noon on Tuesday during the RIPE if you want to present an update. Selection of talks are done on Tuesday afternoon.

ideas for adding IPv6 support to existing Open Source apps
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 14 Jun '19

14 Jun '19

Hi all, The next AFRINIC meeting, middle of June, in Uganda, will host a 2-days hackathon to add IPv6 support to some apps. We are trying to compile a list of Open Source applications that could be subject for this exercise. I think a possible priority could be apps used by operators which still don't have IPv6 support. If you have something in mind, please provide the URLs where to get the source and it must be possible to upload a patch afterwards, to take as much advantage as possible. Thanks!

hackathon discussion at RIPE 78 opensource-wg session
by Charles Eckel (eckelcu) 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

Happy New Year Everyone! RIPE has hosted several very successful RIPE NCC Hackathons. I have helped IETF and MEF start and run a series of Hackathons. I spoke about these at RIPE 76. There was a suggestion from Vesna at that time to create a common page on which we post information about such events. The current RIPE hackathon page (https://labs.ripe.net/hackathons) is a good start. I would be happy to add to this. I would like to propose having some time at RIPE 78 to discuss open source efforts like these various hackathons, what is working well, what is not, and how we can improve them. For example, the IETF hackathons need to be better about turning hackathon code into contributions to projects that are easy to find, use, and contribute to any time rather than just in the context of the hackathon. Another example is competition. Some people think hackathons are perceived as being too competitive and non-inclusive. I do not agree, and I try to make it very clear that the IETF hackathons are collaborative and open to newcomers, but the fact I need to keep stating this means there is a problem and an opportunity to do something better. What do others think about having some time in the opensource-wg to share information, ideas, issues, and potential solutions? Would it be better to have a workshop? What about doing both? Martin and Ondrej, I understand this is your call to make, so I hope you do not mind me posting here to help get a sense of interest and help refining the idea. Cheers, Charles

FOSDEM DNS devroom CfP
by Peter van Dijk 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Hello Open Source WG, After a successful and packed half-day DNS devroom at FOSDEM 2018, we are happy to announce a full-day DNS devroom at FOSDEM 2019. As with last year, we hope to host talks anywhere from hardcore protocol stuff, to practical sessions for programmers that are not directly involved with DNS but may have to deal with DNS in their day to day coding or system administrators responsible for DNS infrastructure. We have been allotted a room on Sunday 3 February 2019. We expect to schedule 30 minutes per talk, including questions, but if you need more or less time, we can discuss this. If you have something you’d like to share with your fellow developers, please head to pentabarf at https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM19. Examples of topics are measuring, monitoring, DNS libraries, and anecdotes on how you’ve (ab)used the DNS. Here’s the 2018 schedule, for your inspiration: https://archive.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/track/dns/ . The deadline for submission is December 1st. If you have a FOSDEM pentabarf account from a previous year, please use that account. Reach out to dns-devroom-manager(a)fosdem.org if you run into any trouble. See you there! Cheers, Peter van Dijk, Shane Kerr, Pieter Lexis, and Kees Monshouwer

The RIPE NCC has a tradition of attending and participating. Here are some personal impressions - and, by choosing to focus on community management and RIPE Atlas, I missed the other 99% of the event, so I invite you to add your own comments below this article.

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
