by Erik Anderson 28 Aug '08

It appears that T-Mobile is having some sort of problem with their EDGE/GPRS network in the Minneapolis area. I have several different users that have been stuck in GSM mode for the past 3 hours or so. -Erik Anderson

Ok I have some data now. It seems the local LEC has multiple DS3's down in the area. I asked here as a last resort because I have facilities that were down for over an hour with no answers.

reviving the botnets@ mailing list: a new statregy in fighting cyber crime
by Gadi Evron 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Note to outages members: off-topic post of an ISOTF operation. The public botnets@ mailing list, where malicious activity on the Internet can be openly shared, has been revived, and boy is it active. Warning: live samples and malicious URLs are openly shared there. Mailing list URL: http://www.whitestar.linuxbox.org/mailman/listinfo/botnets Reasons, thinking and explanations: http://gadievron.blogspot.com/2008/08/public-sharing-and-new-statregy-in.ht… Excerpt: ------ A couple of years ago I started a mailing list where folks not necessarily involved with the vetted, trusted, closed and snobbish circles of cyber crime fighting (some founded by me) could share information and be informed of threats. In this post I explore some of the history behind information sharing online, and explain the concept behind the botnets mailing list. Feel free to skip ahead if you find the history boring. Also, do note the history in this post is mixed with my own opinions. As I am one of the only people who where there in the beginning though and lived through all of it, I feel free to do so (in my own blog post). As I conclude, we may not be able to always share our resources, but it is time to change the tide of the cyber crime war, and strategize. One of the strategies we need to use, or at least try, is public information sharing of "lesser evils" already in the public domain. .. .. To fight a war, you have to be involved and engaged. On the Internet that is very difficult, but the Russians found a way. It is a fact that while we made much progress in our efforts fighting cyber crime, we had nearly no effect what-so-ever on the criminals and the attackers. Non. They maintain their business and we play at writing analysis and whack-a-mole. Using the botnets mailing list, I am burrowing a page from the apparent Russian cyber war doctrine, getting people involved, engaged. Personally aware and a part of what's going on. It can't hurt us, and perhaps now, four years over-due and two years after the previous attempt, we may be ready to give it a go and test the concept. ------- Gadi Evron. -- "You don't need your firewalls!

TS Fay - Projected Landfall SE Fla Tue
by Jay R. Ashworth 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Just a reminder: TS Fay is projected to make landfall in SE Florida Tuesday afternoon/evening -- the current Mon AM projection is for 1400 EDT around Ft Myers/Cape Coral, but it's changed 6 times in 8 advisories, so who knows. The storm may have strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane by then, but the intensity models are even less solid than the track models. http://flhurricane.com/cyclone/stormspotlight.php?year=2008&storm=6 If you have facilities in that region, things may get dicey for between the afternoon and the rest of the week; keep it in mind.

We have to disable proxy arp on all firewalls' internal zones (except outside & DMZ) to completely resolve the issue. Furthermore, the maintenance to install the secondary firewall was not successfull and we will be re-visiting this to see what went wong. * Cisco Guard for WH - adding more zones as per WH requests. In contact with GERO all the time about this. We put the new zones active this week and GERO is adding traffic to these. * CCBill AS migration to AS32164 - plan sent to Raman. We just need to find spare GBICs to plug into BB2 before we start the maintenance. This is planned for the 20th August. A maintenance notification is already planned. * DRACs - worked with Windows Engineering to make the DRAC ports active on the network - completed.
