The community has requested clarification from the Board on
the series of events and motivations that led to the emergency draft proposal
2009-1: Transfer Policy.

At its February 6, 2009 meeting, the Board accepted the recommendation of the
Advisory Council, finding that the process had been followed, and adopted
policy proposal 2008-6: Emergency Transfer Policy for IPv4 Addresses. The
Board has been concerned for some time that the lack of a liberalized transfer
policy would create legal risk: that we had not provided a mechanism to improve
the efficient utilization of previously-allocated resources, and that this risk was
significant enough to jeopardize ARIN?s ability to fulfill its stewardship mission.

The sense of the Board is that a transfer policy is needed well before IANA?s
last IPv4 allocation, to allow early transfers and ease the demand for IPv4
numbers from ARIN. Allowing for the possibility that demand might increase
as IANA allocates its last IPv4 numbers, the Board believes that there is
insufficient time for another full policy cycle. The policy in 2008-6 allowed
the Board to activate it by declaring an emergency, which the Board did.
The policy had certain gaps which, in the Board?s opinion, allowed for
exploitation. As noted in the minutes of the February 6 meeting, the Board
resolved to make certain edits to the policy that had just been adopted.
These edits were out of order: according to ARIN?s Policy Development
Process, the Board of Trustees may (in emergency circumstances) suspend
a policy or propose a policy, but may not edit the Number Resource Policy
Manual directly. Therefore, at its March 18, 2009 meeting, the Board
rescinded its action editing the policy, and proposed a new policy, which is
2009-1: Transfer Policy. The minutes of that meeting will be published once
Board members have reviewed them, according to the published procedure.


The
discussion of Draft Policy 2009-1: Transfer Policy has provided
valuable
input to the Board of Trustees. The Board notes that this draft policy
includes substantial
changes to current policy, and encourages constructive
discussion of the
draft policy as written.

you are in favor or against this proposal, or if you have specific
suggestions as to how the wording should be changed.

Thanks,

Notable Points:

Recurring questions of clarity and procedure.
Why did the BoT use the Emergency PDP?
Where is the proper explanation in the meeting minutes?
What was the emergency?
Why was this needed?
Is 2008-6 actually accepted and just not implemented?

(OD) "The same argument could be made about laws with sunset clauses,
but, the same applies. While it is true that the community can change
things and could even repeal a sunset clause, the sunset clause creates
a default action that occurs unless the community takes action.
Additionally, repealing a policy, even
if there is strong community consensus to do so, takes time. By having
a sunset clause in place, it clearly indicates that the intent of the
community is for the policy to be temporary and short-term in nature,
and, it creates a default action of removing the policy after some
period of time, rather than requiring additional subsequent action by
the community to do so."

(LB) "In broad terms, sunset provisions can be used for two purposes:
- To reduce future workload on a body where it is expected the item
will no longer be useful at some point. Rather than having to waste
time removing old policy it automatically goes.
- To require a body to re-evaluate an item via the normal debate
process in the future because the current authors are worried
the plan is not yet perfect, and/or the situation may change."

(WH) "2008-06 intentionally sunsetted section 8.4 three years after
adoption. This was no accident: the community has long been suspicious
of processes that effectively permit the sale of IP addresses from one
party to another. We're willing to give it a chance, but if we don't
like what we see, we don't want to have to fight again to take the
policy back out... especially with the board hinting it might try
sketchy procedural maneuvers in order to overrule such an effort."

(WH) "Under normal ARIN policy, any legal entity which can justify its
request may receive number resources. Though normally companies or other
organizations, this does occasionally apply to individuals. AS 11875 for
example. 2009-1 restricts the transfer recipients to "organizations."
2008-6 retains ARIN's broader definition of eligible recipients."

(JG) "So far I have seen *NO* support for this policy. Zero.
Zip. If it goes forward anyway, it will be very clear that the ideas of
"consensus" and "community policy" are mere travesties, to be discarded
whenever the BOT finds that convenient."

(WH) "Should the board elect to promptly withdraw proposal 2009-1, let's
say by close of business Friday, it would be my pleasure to resubmit the
text of the proposal to the normal policy process and serve as the
proposal's author."

(SM) "Lack of interest in entities adopting IPv6 is not ARIN's
emergency. It's a business case issue, as in many orgs see no business
case for putting forth the effort to deploy IPv6 in their networks, not
an "emergency"."

(CB) "Emergency? I think so. But I don't think that the majority of the
networking community will choose to deal with this until it reaches
crisis state. By the time we reach crisis, the problem will be too big
to worry about pointing fingers. As usual in the US, those who were
responsible enough to deal with it before it became and emergency will
see no benefit since there will be some kind of either bailout, or
social acceptance of the crisis and the half-baked solutions that will
come with waiting until two weeks past the very last date to reasonable
address the issue."

(LH) "The sense of the Board is that a transfer policy is needed well
before IANA's last IPv4 allocation, to allow early transfers and ease
the demand for IPv4 numbers from ARIN. Allowing for the possibility
that demand might increase as IANA allocates its last IPv4 numbers, the
Board believes that there is insufficient time for another full policy

declaring an emergency, which the Board did. The policy had certain gaps

its action editing the policy, and proposed a new policy, which is
2009-1: Transfer Policy. The minutes of that meeting will be published
once Board members have reviewed them, according to the published
procedure."


Suggestions:

(MH) "Number resources are issued based on justified need to
organizations and not to individuals that represent those organizations.
Upon notification that a major negative event related to the
Corporations solvency [define these in definitions] has occurred, ARIN
will freeze all assigned provider independent "PI" address space,
ASN's, and affiliated resources deemed necessary to protect ARIN
assigned number resources and their disposition. Changes to these
resources during the negative event will be processed in a manner
consistent with ARIN policy and agreements in effect at the time of the
negative event".

(SL) "I heard a number of people express the opinion that we don't want
to set a permanent precedent allowing transfers of IPv6 (and ASN). Both
2008-2 and 2008-6 were very explicit that transfers were only being
allowed as a result of the extraordinary circumstance of IPv4
exhaustion, and that such transfers would not be allowed for any other
type of number resource. I believe it would be appropriate to restore
such a limitation to section 8.3 of 2009-1."

(WH) "The changed text in 8.2 implies that a transfer of resources will
not be permitted except as a result of a merger or acquisition. Does
this rule out any kind of transfer that was previously permitted? If so,
what?"

(WH) "The original use of the word "effecting" was correct. The
instrument(s) effecting the transfer of assets. You don't affect a
change, you effect a change. The use of the word "affecting" in 2009-1
is incorrect."

Subject: [arin-ppml] Draft Policy 2009-1: Is there an Emergency?
To: arin-ppml@arin.net
Message-ID: <49D01AE3.21085.B9720F6@farmer.umn.edu>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

I would like to motivate a discussion of the question "Is there
an Emergency?"

I have heard several people express the opinion that they don't
see an emergency. I would like to respectfully disagree with
that opinion.

In my opinion the crux of the emergency is IPv4 exhaustion
combined with the lack of IPv6 adoption, which means we are
going to hit the proverbial wall when it comes to functional IP
address availability. But when does this become an
emergency?

Maybe we can use a car accident as a metaphor; When does
a car accident start? When you hit the wall? When the
airbags deploy? When you fail to make the turn or hit the
breaks in time to prevent yourself from hitting the wall?

Using this metaphor, I propose; IANA free pool exhaustion is
equivalent to the car hitting the wall. The trigger set in 2009-2:
Depleted IPv4 Reserves, is the equivalent of the airbags going
off shortly after the car hits the wall. RIR and ISP free pool
exhaustion are equivalent to the passengers hitting the interior
of the car and the brain and internal organs colliding with the
skull and the rest of the body, receptively.

So when did the IPv4 car accident start, when did we hit the
point where we would inextricably hit the wall? I'm not exactly
sure, but I think most of us started realizing back in 2007 that
we were going to inextricably hit the wall. And today, to me
personally it is virtually unquestionable that will we are going to
hit the wall. We obviously haven't hit the wall just yet, but the
car is headed toward the wall to fast to stop or turn, the
accident must and will happen.

Further, it is possible we don't have as much time as we think
we do. We currently have approximately 500 Million IPv4
address in the IANA Free Pool. While current projections,
based on current usage rates, provide a little over two years to
exhaustion[1]. However, it is not difficult to imagine scenarios
where the IANA free pool could be exhausted much sooner
than that. For example, if mobile providers were to start
issuing IPv4 address to mobile hand sets it wouldn't be hard to
exhaust the IANA free pool in no time flat[2].

[1] http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/index.html

[2]
http://newsroom.parksassociates.com/article_display.cfm?articl
e_id=5128

I'm not saying that will or even should happen, but it is by no
means impossible. Further, under current policies if the mobile
industry came to the RIRs for IPv4 addresses for hand set, the
RIRs would likely have to fulfill the requests, and exhaust the
IANA free pool in short order.

Therefore, at least in reference to IPv4, I believe there is a
valid Emergency.

So, I'm interested to hear other people's opinion on if there is
an emergency.

Hi Justin,

It happened at 8:00AM Irish time (which is about 2:00 AM My time) I
didn't get in to the office and notice the mail until 6 hours after it
happened (In Central America) so it took about 7 hours and 30 minutes
to fix.

PE also reported that the problem started at 8:00 AM on the 29th and
was repaired at 9:05 (no AM or PM) on the 26th (yes, three days in the
past). I don't think their timing procedure is functioning correctly.

Hi List,

We are looking to move our non infrastructure routes into iBGP to help with our IGP scalability (OSPF). We already run full BGP tables on our core where we connect to multiple upstream and downstream customers. Most of our aggregation and edge routers cannot hold full tables and it's certainly not possible to upgrade them. Is there any reason why we shouldn't filter iBGP routes between our core and aggregation layers (we plan to use route reflectors) or should we be look at using a private AS number per POP?

Thanks

Dave

A new version of Lynis is available, which includes currently over 200
tests to assist auditors and security administrators to audit their Unix
machines. The tool can be executed without a required installation and
displays the outcome of the tests on the screen. Extended information
can be found in the log file, including all the results of tests.

After many releases I want to ask to try this new version and give me
input about what you like to see when checking Unix systems for their
security strenghts and weaknesses.

Dear Sirs,

excuse me please for bothering you with the following information, but I
thought it could be of use for you as well.

Increasing Internet traffic and the transfer of delay and loss critical
traffic may lead to congested interconnection links and dropping of the
"wrong" packets as a result.
This is particularly regrettable, if the interconnected partners both use
traffic differentiation in their networks and are cut back to best effort
interconnection (p2p or through IXPs).

I have proposed a concept for simple Inter-AS Class of Service
interconnection that allows for consistent traffic separation even across
interconnection points.

By means of this email, I would like to receive your feedback, whether the
described situation is currently seen or expected in the next months.
Furthermore, I would be interested to hear, whether there have already
been set up class of service based interconnections, which could make us
of such an automated CoS signalling concept.

Background information about the proposed and implemented concept can be
found at:

For a period of 3 years from policy implementation, authorized resource

Tal vez no estoy interpretando correctamente el texto, pero creo que de el

As we have a 100mbps peer with WAIX, and our Staff do a significant amount of traffic to Google (Google Maps specifically) this is awesome news for us and our external bandwidth costs.

Oh joy, a worm is now out that infects Linksys and NetGear DSL routers.


http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=15197

'Psyb0t' worm infects Linksys, Netgear home routers, modems

More information has surfaced about the botnet ?psyb0t,? the first known to be capable of directly infecting home routers and cable/DSL modems.

It was first observed infecting a Netcomm NB5 modem/router in Australia.

Members of the website DroneBL, a real-time IP tracker that scans for and botnets and vulnerable machines, came to the conclusion that the ?psyb0t? (or ?Network Bluepill?) botnet was a test run to prove the technology. After the botnet?s discovery and public outing, the botnet operator swiftly shut it down, APC reports.

[Read more: Stealthy router-based botnet worm squirming]

However, the most recently discovered generation (dubbed ?version 18? in the code) targets a wide range of devices, and contains the shellcode for over 30 different Linksys models, 10 Netgear models, and 15 other models of cable and DSL modems, APC reports. It did not specify which models.

APC:

A list of 6000 usernames and 13,000 passwords were also included, to be used for brute force entry to Telnet and SSH logins which are open to the LAN and sometimes even the public WAN side of the routers. Generally, routers do not lock a user out after a number of incorrect password attempts, making brute force attacks possible.

According to DroneBL, any router that uses a MIPS processor and runs the Linux Mipsel operating system (a simple operating system for MIPS Processors) is vulnerable if they have the router administration interface, or sshd/telnetd in a DMZ, with weak username/passwords. DroneBL noted this includes devices flashed with the open-source firmwares openwrt and dd-wrt, and the group also said that other routers may be vulnerable, as it had observed the bot running on routers based on the Vxworks operating system.

Clearly, exploiting a home network ? which are growing in popularity ? has its benefits: they rarely power down, and a router attack enables hackers to exploit a network with greater levels of stealth, since there?s no affect on individual PCs on the network, APC writes.

In fact, the staff of DroneBL wrote that the exploit is very difficult to detect, and the only way to discover it is to monitor traffic going in and out of the router itself ?beyond the reach of desktop computer software.

In the past, exploits on professional-grade Cisco routers were easier to detect, as Cisco provides dedicated ports for connecting to the router, monitoring internal performance and configuring them. However, the vast majority of home routers sacrifice these features for the sake of cost savings.

DroneBL says that the botnet is capable of scanning for vulnerable PHPMyAdmin and MySQL installations, and can also disable access to the control interfaces of a router, (meaning a factory reset is necessary to clear the worm).

DroneBL was successful in shutting down the Command & Control channel that the botnet utilized, and the DNS that was hosted with afraid.org was also nullrouted. The Command & Control channel is now defunct, but at the height of its penetration, the botnet was suspected to control 100,000 hosts.

Worse, the author of the botnet claimed to have infected 80,000 routers at one point while chatting anonymously on an IRC channel.

WHAT DEVICES ARE AFFECTED

According to Drone BL:

We don?t know. There are so many devices out there that we could not possibly know.

Your best bet would be to take action to upgrade the device firmware and secure any passwords if there is concern that the device may be vulnerable. Such actions will help to avoid exploitation by the worm.

WHAT TO DO

According to DroneBL:

Ports 22, 23 and 80 are blocked as part of the infection process (but NOT as part of the rootkit itself, running the rootkit itself will not alter your iptables configuration).

If these ports are blocked, you should perform a hard reset on your device, change the administrative passwords, and update to the latest firmware. These steps will remove the rootkit and ensure that your device is not reinfected.

The UK has already had this experience in early 2008 when the BBC began

of analysis on the results:

Essentially, if you're dependent on bitstream or on monopoly/near monopoly
backhaul, you're in for an interesting few years. Answers: encourage peering
with content providers, push CDNs as far into the network as possible, look
at using set-top boxes creatively (local caching, integrated delivery with
satellite/broadcast/cable).

What urgent need for a transfer policy? Why does this keep getting restated
as though it is established fact. I have not seen a community consensus
that there is a need for a transfer policy. There are a few vocal
individuals that voice the need for a transfer policy until some accept it
as fact.

There is no need for a transfer policy. We have a policy for reassignment
of IP blocks. We do not need a new policy unless the goal is to make profit
from the transfer.

As a Board member, I have some insight into the process by which the
emergency draft policy was submitted to the community. However, I am
not willing to discuss the Board's deliberations without checking with my
fellow Board members; I'm afraid of mischaracterizing their positions. I
do have my own opinions, which I will share, but I have an open mind,
and it can be changed by well-reasoned argument or correction of my
faulty memory.

The Board tries to stay out of policy matters, having created the Advisory
Council for that purpose. Generally I am reluctant to advocate for or
against potential policies. In this case, there's a policy gap, where
numbers could be better allocated as needed, per ARIN's mission.

[Apologies for duplicates]


Dear Colleagues,

The RIPE NCC has now successfully completed the implementation of
ASPLAIN format in the RIPE Database. If you are the maintainer of
any routing data in the RIPE Database that is associated with 32-bit
Autonomous System (AS) Numbers, please check your data to be sure
that it was correctly converted.

From this point, any AS Numbers or references must be in the ASPLAIN
format. The ASDOT format will no longer be accepted in RIPE NCC
services such as the LIR Portal and the RIPE Database.

Please note that the Routing Information Service (RIS) RIS has not been
converted to ASPLAIN at this point. Some RIS tools may accept ASPLAIN
input, however this is not yet officially supported.

If you use AS Numbers internally, or with other tools that have not yet
been updated, you may be interested in a conversion tool that has been
provided by APNIC. This tool converts ASDOT format AS Numbers to ASPLAIN
and back. It can be downloaded from:
http://www.apnic.net/cgi-bin/convert-asn.pl

If you have any concerns about this matter, please send an email to


Kind regards,

Denis Walker

Good morning,

Is there such thing as F5 Big-IP (or ServerIron, etc.) "Shared-Housing"
available around in Switzerland?

It would be for a small and simple HA/LB setup (2-3 L/FAMP Servers), and
we can't (yet) afford the costs of getting a F5 Big-Ip (or two) :-)

The other option would be to get the Load-Balancing-work done "by hand"
with a custom-pound/carp/heartbeat & co. solution from a housing/hosting
company (for example nine.ch), but I first need to check all options.

So if you have something like this in your catalog, please tell me or
feel free to forward my mail address to your "sales" people.

Thanks & regards,
Olivier

My explicit role in my organization is to ensure adequate IP Addressing to support service growth and new service introduction. I believe without a doubt that the only way I will be successful in that mandate is to position IPv6 as the vehicle so that the IP Addresses are there.

My organization is taking the steps necessary to get that transition happening, so we are not unwilling. I can tell you that with certain services, we might well be unable to transition before IPv4 exhaust hits, but my focus is to transition the high growth services. I want to make sure that the other services which may take longer to transition have the IP Addresses available, as I am sure every other admin POC out there is trying to ensure.

I don't protest for the sake of demanding unfair privileges on the behalf of large ISPs. I protest a policy that says everyone can have their needs completely met except for one group, which can't even have a reasonable fraction of their need met.

Respectfully,
Matthew Wilder

This has been observed when a vendor runs 32-bit AS aware code on part

their edge.

These are typical applications of NetFlow/cflowd in IOS and
JunOS.

There's a lot of non-commercial flow collectors, e.g.,
Nfsen/Nfdump, as well as commercial products that work quite
well, e.g., Arbor Networks.

Other folks may use NTOP for the same, as well.

The RIRs don't maintain rDNS for you. You'll have to trace the
delegations downward from in-addr.arpa, find out who's handling your
/24's, and contact them to get them to delegate your chunks to you.

No.

Policies do not enforce anything. Policies are like laws. They are
just words on paper. Enforcement has to come from somewhere=20
else.

If you read RIPE policies carefully, you will see that you do not have
to have a technical requirement today for every address that you
receive from RIPE. If RIPE is willing to give addresses to some=20
organizations which will not be used for many months, or years,
then it is difficult to force any organization to return addresses=20
when they experience a temporary downturn. Also, remember that most
RIPE members will reserve unused addresses for several months after
disconnecting a customer, before they assign those to other customers.

In the case of a dispute between RIPE and a member organization,
you cannot expect quick results. There will almost always be a
language barrier between RIPE and the member organization. The
multilingual hostmasters are probably not the right people to
be in the middle of a dispute. There are subtle difference in=20
translating a lot of the terminology that we use, for instance
assign and allocate have almost identical meanings in English,
so I don't expect translated terms to make any sense outside of
the RIPE context.

Let's face it, we are running out of IPv4 and the special efforts
that RIPE has made in the past year or so, has only caused this
runout date to become sooner for all but the smallest organizations.
IPv6 is the only way out of this mess. Attempting to enforce some=20
sort of efficient-use policy for IPv4 is wasted effort.

各RIRで今熱心に議論されているのがIPv4アドレスブロックの移転について。
この2008-6は特定用途に関する緊急IPv4アドレス移転ポリシー。
しかしPDP(PolicyDevelopmentProccess)の性質上、多少時間が掛かるので
緊急性にどれだけ対応できるのか?ということで今後も注意深く見守る必要があるとの意見。

各RIRとも強制力の無いポリシーで先行者利益によって得たアドレスをいかに回収するかという
難題を抱えている。

As rotas ser?o removidas quando as interfaces forem baixadas pelo
script, antes de rodar o dhclient na placa que deve assumir o link...

Vamos a um caso extremamente simples, um script:

#!/bin/bash
#

# Links por eth
ADSL=eth1
EBT=eth2

# Descobrindo link atual
LinkAtual="$(awk '$1~/0.0.0.0/{print $NF}' < <(route -n))"

# Hosts de teste
HOST[0]="200.160.2.3" # registro.br
HOST[1]="$(awk '$1~/0.0.0.0/{print $2}' < <(route -n))"

LinkStatus="DOWN"
for host in ${HOST[@]}; do
ping -c2 -w2 -q $host >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
exit 0
fi
done

if [ "$LinkStatus" == "DOWN" ]; then
ifdown $ADSL || ifconfig $ADSL down
ifdown $EBT || ifconfig $EBT down
if [ "$LinkAtual" == "$ADSL ]; then
ifup $EBT || dhclient $EBT || dhcpcd $EBT
else
ifup $ADSL || dhclient $ADSL || dhcpcd $ADSL
fi
fi

## FIM DO SCRIPT


Isso ta grosseiro e eu escrevi diretamente aqui no e-mail...
A ideia do funcionamento eu acho que ta correta, ou seja:

1. Executa testes no link atual
2. Se o link estiver fora, DESATIVA AS PLACAS DE REDE DE INTERNET e
reativa a do OUTRO link (dhclient)
2. Se o link estiver OK, ignora o restante do script

Veja que eu considerei o gateway como um host de teste, nem todos
cenarios s?o assim, muitas vezes a internet cai e o gateway ainda
responde ping, ou ent?o o gateway se torna um IP de LAN que o modem
forneceu via DHCP e assim responde ping..
Tu pode por 2, 3, 4, X hosts ali pra testar... Qto mais testes, mais
tempo o script executa..

O caso agora seria por isso no crontab:

*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/script_ninja_linkswitch.sh

RIPE-db-wg@Mar 19, 2009

To: ncc-announce@ripe.net, ncc-services-wg@ripe.net, db-wg@ripe.net
Subject: Re: [db-wg] Implementation of ASPLAIN Format

[Apologies for duplicates]


Dear Colleagues,

With the publication of RFC 5396, the IETF has standardised the
representation of all Autonomous System (AS) Numbers in the ASPLAIN
format. This covers both 16-bit and 32-bit AS Numbers. The previous
ASDOT format is now obsolete. The RIPE NCC plans to start using the
ASPLAIN format on March 25, 2009.

From that time, any AS Numbers or references must be in the ASPLAIN
format. The ASDOT format will no longer be accepted in RIPE NCC
services such as the LIR Portal and the RIPE Database.

The update of RIPE NCC systems to ASPLAIN will take place on
Wednesday, March 25, according to the following schedule (all times
are in UTC and are approximations):

7:00 1. Updates to the RIPE Database via webupdates and syncupdates
will be disabled. Mail updates will be queued.

After the update mechanism has been stopped, all objects
containing an AS Number in ASDOT format will be
automatically converted to identical objects with the AS
Number in ASPLAIN format. Technical details of the
conversion process will be published shortly.

2. The LIR Portal will be stopped.

10:00 The RIPE Database will now accept queries in ASPLAIN format;
it will no longer accept queries in ASDOT format.

12:00 1. The LIR portal will be restarted. Any reference
to an AS Number should be made in ASPLAIN format.

2. Any mail updates to the RIPE Database submitted after 7:00
will be processed. Webupdates and syncupdates will be enabled
again.

The Routing Information Service (RIS) will not be updated on March 25.

If you use AS Numbers internally, or with other tools that have not yet
been updated, you may be interested in a conversion tool that has been
provided by APNIC. This tool converts ASDOT format AS Numbers to ASPLAIN
and back. It can be downloaded from: http://www.apnic.net/cgi-bin/convert-asn.pl

If you have any concerns about this matter, please send an email to


Kind regards,

Henk Uijterwaal
Senior Project Manager, RIPE NCC


JANOGでの議論から追いかけたのですが、思いのほか早くASDOTからASPLAINになりましたね。
BGPオペレータとしては統一感があっていいかもしれない。
ASDOTしかなかった時代は前半の16Bitを国番号にすればいいのにと思ってました。
1.*は米国、44.*は英国、7.*はロシア、81.*は日本、というように。
#そうすれば国毎のFilterが簡単。
でもそうなるとIETFというよりITUっぽくなるのでInternetに対する政府/国連の管理が強くなってしまうかも、という反対意見を聞き、諦めた次第です(笑)

○英 BBC の情報番組がボットネットを特集

英 BBC の "Click" という情報番組がボットネットに関する特集を行い
話題になりました。

この番組ではスタッフが実際に数万台規模のボットネットを購入し、ボッ
トネットから予め用意した実験用のメールアドレスにスパムを送信した

購入したボットネットに対して自己消去の命令を出して番組は終了しま

アンダーグラウンドな世界で起こっている事象を正確に理解するために
は、この番組のように実際の攻撃者と同じことをしてみることが有効で
す。しかし、アンチウイルスベンダの研究者からは、ユーザへの啓発を
目的としているにしても、このような形でボットネットを利用すること
は、社会的に許されないことではないか、との問題提起がなされていま
す。

セキュリティ研究者は「どこまで許されるのか?」を自問自答しながら
今日も調査研究を続けています。

~後略~

以前から考えていたBotnet撲滅方法をBBCがやった!
素晴らしい。がこれが全てではなく、他にも活動しているBotnetはあるはず。
もしあるBotnetが撲滅されても、同じように侵入されるPCは後を絶たず、
ユーザのリテラシを高める運動を重ねるか、OSメーカーにセキュアなOSを作るように
働きかけるか、くらいしか解決方法がない。
こういう地道な活動って大変なわりに報われることが少ないので関わってらっしゃる方々には頭が下がります。

For a better Deal - Deal Makers Anyone?
Creating Pakistan's Mix - Deal Makers: Will they take our society,
economy and progress to a new level?

(Fouad Bajwa, Independent Discussion/17-03-2009) "Are you a Deal
Maker?" asks someone named Walmer. "A Deal Maker? What's that supposed
to mean?" is my reply. "You know, a social innovator striving to bring
his country out of a social-economic deadlock in these difficult
times?", I stare at my screen trying to make sense of what this guy is
asking me during a Video Chat online. "There are a bunch of you guys
that can act as the perfect mix to make that happen", he continues as
a response to my silence, "You seem to carry the required magic, the
perfect group of mavericks to manoeuvre and help others manoeuvre
through, don't be sad at this moment in time, be the ingredient of
your region's change! You don't need any financial or strategic
support, you just need to group up with the right likeminded Deal
Makers and progress forward!?

He leaves me thinking, I was pitching an idea based around social
innovation for youth and mid career professionals amidst a technology
setting and seeking possible support but this guy after many online
conference calls leaves me to think about something that I've never
thought of. To date, I have gone about the country and to over 12
abroad, advising, sharing, discussing and giving out ideas and working
with people to make their plans transform into something doable but
never thought of actually turning the tables around. Those friendships
are one side of the case and I have friends across this country that
can make wonderful things happen in terms of progress and growth for
their organizations as well as the region, but we never got together
to pitch our deals, we are blinded by selfish needs, despite that, we
can still make the deal for innovation while achieving social and
economic growth! Yes, be the Deal Makers for Change.

It's supposed to be a mix of Intellect applied to innovate and then
create a deal with human development and fair business networks. Be
the maverick of change and growth. How? has always been the question
for me I guess and I don't know why I have stuck to that. My thought's
deadlock was recently broken and it was changed due to something that
struck the outside world from our inside world. Only moments after the
discussion in question ends, someone sends me a link showing this
http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2009/03/15/world/20090316-PSTAN_7.html.
Just two days ago, they saw kids battered on the street as part of a
crackdown in Pakistan. Is this battered kid even eligible to vote? Has
he reached that age yet? But what?s the deal for getting beaten up?
Definitely, it?s not a case of sheer public entertainment? No, not at
all! It was the deal being made. This is a recent picture that the
world grasped from our region. We took the beating! We broke the old
deal and pitched a better one! I know it must have hurt pretty bad, I
got it once and boy does it hurt but its always been for the good.

Everyone seems to be at it today, where they group, they pitch, where
they standalone, they suffer. Where they are vocal, they break
barriers and have the other side lend them their attention. The Deal
Makers, they are the magic, the mavericks, an ingredient of the mix
for change. They have shown what it takes to make the new deal, to
understand its importance, to value what we have and to struggle for
what is needed . Its not about social and economic change, its about
making the right case for change whatever the context may be. They
were out there taking the beating, others were sitting behind the tube
enjoying a battle of the odds but each heart pounded skipping a beat
to be engulfed by the emerging change.

Some of us took a beating too but we weren't on television for that
matter. I was stuck in Malaysia when the Bangkok Airport was locked
down by the opposition but some people back home were struggling for a
policy makeover with reference to technology and innovation. What were
their concerns? Simple, they were striking a deal for a fair public
policy framework that brought 67% of the 'outsiders' in to context
with the '33%' insiders. The larger figure wasn't witnessing what was
happening two days ago and the smaller figure was behind the tube in
true shock. Anyway, I was getting phone calls from 'Deal Makers'
complaining the ongoing trouble of getting the powerful to listen to
the poor and to create the right balance of fair play and social
equity in national progress. They said, they were missing their
beloved Deal Maker to make the fair move.

So what is the deal going to be for me now? What will I pitch next or
should it be us as a group that makes the pitch? I know this
discussion seems awfully crazy but I am pretty much sane and not naive
to say, I have a better deal to pitch in my area of Technology and
Innovation for positive social and economic change. My problem I guess
is that you who have are also deal makers in the similar sense just
don't want to get together, a feature of our people discussed all over
the world that we are good at tugging each other?s legs but when it
comes to common positive change or causes for improvement, we are good
at pulling.....but not good at making a collective to pitch the deal
that affects us all.

I plan to wear shorts this time and summer while offer other Deal
Makers to join in, placing the tugging part aside, we may be able
pitch the right deal for the right amount of change. Don?t mind my
optimism, its about time!
