The change to IPv6 creates new challenges to keep spam out of email. Because of the sheer size of the IPv6 space, it seems more efficient to build a domain-blocking and reputation system rather than an IP-blocking system. But how do we ensure emails over IPv6 have an authenticated domain?
The Dutch Institute for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) and a number of Dutch security companies have recently published a report on IPv6 security test methodologies.
In the final quarter of 2013, we launched the Assisted Registry Check (ARC) for our members. This enhancement to the auditing activities of the RIPE NCC was initiated in response to feedback from members who indicated that our previous auditing activities were time-consuming and could be more efficient.
We are in the process of implementing the policy regarding Post Depletion Adjustment of Procedures (2013-03). In this article we will give an overview of the changes we are making to the IP Analyser web interface and API, so you can accommodate your scripts and workflow. We intend to implement these changes on 16 April 2014.
In this article we are looking in some more detail at BGP leak in Indonesia and illustrate how RIPEstat visualisations can help to assess the impact.
The RIPE NCC announced a new version of DNSMON, available for testing by the public, in March 2014. We are now planning the removal of the old DNSMON.
In this article Geoff Huston describes attacks that involve the Network Time Protocol (NTP) and what can be done to defend against them.
In RIPE Atlas we see latencies to Google's 8.8.8.8 DNS resolver service drop in Turkey. We expect this is due to hijacking of the 8.8.8.8 service. Our measurements show a timeline of these events.
Note that even when the Twitter ban had been lifted, RIPE Atlas still saw fake 8.8.8.8 DNS service active in Turkey.
In the evening of 7 April the situation returned to normal.
Since 2003, the RIPE NCC’s DNS Monitoring Service (DNSMON), has been providing a comprehensive, objective, and up-to-date overview on the quality of the service offered by TLD and other DNS operators. Due to technical advancements and in line with our aim to provide consolidated services, we are introducing a new DNSMON, currently running in parallel with the existing, "old" one.
The recently accepted RIPE Policy Proposal 2012-07, “RIPE NCC Services to Legacy Internet Resource Holders” defines a framework for the RIPE NCC to offer registry services to legacy Internet resource holders. This article details how we propose to implement this framework.
