Subject: Network Issues
At approximately 9:45am PST we experienced network wide failures with our
Cisco switches. These failures resulted in loss of some configuration
information kept inside the switches. Service has been restored to
nearly all customers who were affected. If you are still having problems
reaching your equipment give the call center a call at 408-367-6673.

HAHAHA the reason no other provider is vulnerable is
because no other
provider with half a clue has the same simple login
and enable "p4ssw0rds"
on all their switches, and internal machines in their
sjc facilities on
hubs. What does one expect will happen when their
switch passwords become
public knowledge? The funny thing is the passwords
were originally sniffed
by MafiaBoy.
There's no need to "privately" share a fix/hole in
this case.
The ENTIRE problem here, is above's total inability to
secure their own switches.
And it SHOULD be public. People who control literally
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS of other people's data per second
NEED to learn, that CORE NETWORKS NEED TO BE
PROTECTED. (i.e. CHANGING PASSWORDS, NOT PERMITTING
"COMMON PASSWORDS")
I hope we ALL learn a lesson from this.

Abovenet scheint das netz nur noch den kleinen peers zu announcen,
nicht aber den anderen transit-netzen. Man nehmen das looking-glass
auf http://www2.linx.net/ und vergleiche das ergebnis fuer "transit"
mit "UK".
Nun, sie announcen das aggregat (202.36.0.0/16 AS4648)

Gekappt nicht, aber einen prefix-filter eingezogen. Nimmt jetzt andere
Wege :-)

Ich habe das gestern Abend noch naeher betrachtet, finden tu ichs fast
ueberall (regexp 6461 4648)[0]. Nur haben andere IXes oft Pfade die
kuerzer sind, bessere Metric haben, oder aber genauer sind.

[0] Fuer nicht BGP-geschaedigte: Damit zeigt man sich die Netze an, die
als Pfad die Autonomen Systeme[1] 6461 und 4648 beinhalten.
[1] Autonome Systeme sind 1er oder mehrere IP-Bloecke. Ist wichtig fuers
globale routing.
Langsam glaub' ich wirklich, die machen das absichtlich!

Mit ACO.NET treiben sie diese Schweinerei immer noch! Hat einer von Euch
brauchbare Kontakt-Adresse fuer derlei?
Fuer's Erste hab' ich einmal ein Trouble Ticket an der TU Wien geloest und
help...@aco.net angemailt.
