woot! CVE-2015-0235
http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/01/27/9
oh that' snot something that brycebot works with, gethostbyname vulnerability in linux
hi bryce
hey mercutio
I'm happy to say there are exactly 0 calls to gethostbyname in BryceBot
PHP on the other hand probably has a few, but I made it a policy to never open random/arbitrary URLs in BryceBot. Plus IRC line lengths limit what you can do
i meant something that brycebot would parse the header of, and explain what it is :)
but it's good to see you're not looking up random names too.
a lot of software does though.

traceroute to ARP using my new Fibe / VDSL connection
is it me or is there just a lot of RFC1918 going on there
Not especially a lot, no.
first hop is my Mikrotik Router
At least not in my experience with ISPs (as a customer)
rest is the ISP
Where "rest" is just 3 more rfc1918 hops
And then you reach Bell's core network
mnathani: Does your Mikrotik have a public IP on its external interface, or are you on a hellish CGNAT service?
public ip on pppoe interface, yes
and they dont limit the number of pppoe sessions
I know I am using 2 public Ips right now - one for their modem / access point, another on the Mikrotik
mnathani: what was your old route like?
i hate it when i see even one rfc1918 hop on an isp
but it isn't really an issue normally
^
mnathani: they may complain if you use 100 :)
mnathani: and how can it be a fibre / vdsl connection.  is it ftth or fttb?
or fttb
god fttx :)
fttb didn't even meant what i thought it did.  i meant fibre to the block
fttn is what i was thinknig of it seems.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_to_the_x
Fiber to the x :: Fiber to the x (FTTX) is a generic term for any broadband network architecture using optical fiber to provide all or part of the local loop used for last mile telecommunications. The term is a generalization for several configurations of fiber deployment, ranging from FTTN (fiber to the neighborhood) to FTTD (fiber to the desktop).      Definitions  The telecommunications industry differentiates between several distinct...
and now it seems it's probably fttc
but shifting to fttn/fttp
actually with that huge ping it probably is vdsl.
old route was hurricane electric
less hops
less latency
well it looks like hop 2 is really high latency.
unless it's far away.
I am guessing its the DSLAM
suggesting vdsl interleaving.
yeah it's probably 8 msec upstream 8 msec downstream at a guess.
they had to bond 2 lines though
but it may be a combination..
it maybe 8/1 then
what speed are you at?
advertised: 25/10
actual : 26/1.5
yeah you should be able to get that with a single line normally :)
ouch on the upstream
so you're probably far away.
is it noisy or something?
that's adsl speeds.
the guy says its upto 10 not 10 guaranteed
yeah, sounds like it's stepping down the upstream
oh and tv is on the same network
vdsl hardly ever steps down downstream
even at 13 megabit sync you should get more than 800kbit up
which is why i thought adsl.
so if you record multiple channels simultaneously, it will slow down the internet
i wonder if the bonding is screwed.
maybe it doesn't bond upstream properly?
have you tried iperf in udp mode?
or with parallel connections
I think I am 1.4 km away from the DSLAM
haven't tried the iperf yet
tehy really just need a closer dslam.
vdsl is so much less intrusive than fibre.
pfft the only thing /they/ need is more money. what /mnathani/ needs on the other hand...
meaning higher uptake, quicker installs.
i mean i'd love 100 megabit upload
but it seems general aims are more ilke 100 megabit down 20 up now?
docsis and vdsl are kind of pushing speeds up surprisingly on terrible lines.
and i don't think vdsl has had a bump recently, so it's likely to jump upa gain
oh are you geting terrible weather mnathani ?

eek
kinda cold
do you have to go out in weather like that?
breezy and cold
we do
have to go out that is
the magic of internet
it's so weird how people can have such different weather
it looks kind of warm on that web site, until i realise it's farenheit not celsius

i was trying to find the forecast
atleast its not -22°C
so is that a high -7 c?
it's been quite a few years since i've experienced 3c let alone -7c
and i can't evne imagine -22c.
oh and -7 feels like -14 with the wind
oh you can click on gear icon and change to C
ouch
keeping things real
weird it just changed to -9c
and feels like -15c

pretty warm
Toronto is under another extreme cold weather alert, the seventh one of the year so far covering 10 days in January.
it's stupid warm here for some reason
it's 29c in this room
feels too hot to me
it was almost 18C here today
that sounds cold to me heh
it's winter here
there's a low of 19c here today
yeah
we get 18c in winter here
our typical high in january is -1C
ok
now that's a striking contrast
lows ~-12C
this is weather like we'd typically see in maybe late march/early april
that seems to be a reoccuring pattern around the world
atypical weather is the norm :)
yeah
it's kind of disconcerting.
we had snow last week. that was nice.
i love snow
Me too
my wife borked one of her wheels hitting an icy patch and smacking a curb
going like 5mph
i hate melted snow that just goes all muddy/wet
That's what she said!!
I moved here, in part, for the snow. It has snowed maybe 4 or 5 times this whole winter :(
4 or 5 times sounds ok?
winter isn't over yet?
Last year it was snowing at least once a week.
brycec: where are you again?
Canadian border
oh, WA, right?

yeah, inland

putty mangled that
so many screwy unicode chars
What doesn't putty mangle? :P
well, kitty i guess
umm
i dunno. if i find something i'll tell you.
it's way too damn warm here imo. Bring back my sub-0 temperatures.
gives a nice excuse to light a fire?
I just like when it's cold
i used to too
whats the best dynamic dns service out there these days? Previously I have used no-ip
now that my IP is no longer sticky
That's what she said!!
BryceBot: no, thats what I said
I just hang off my own domain, either self-hosted DNS, or dns.he.net
what mechanisim do you use to update the dns automatically?
periodic curl (which is what most ddns programs use anyways)
Also some routers can do it automatically (since they're the only device that can detect an IP change without making an external request, generally speaking - and if the app is making an external request, it might as well be the same request as to update the ip)
not sure if my Mikrotik can do it
mnathani: you could do a lt2p/ipsec tunnel over it
and log when it connects from a new ip
that way you've also got a nice tunnel you can use if you want as well
actually i wonder if it automatically createws a new connection when ip chagnes
can't you just log routeros new ppp sessions?

looks like you should be able to
jan/27 17:20:30 system,error,critical login failure for user admin from 122.225.109.220 via ssh
ssh should never have been publicly available
hmm
looks like traffic from Toronto on Bell to Toronto / Teksavvy traverses Chicago
and goes via he.net

Has anyone else had issues not receiving responses from support@? This isn't a slight against up_the_irons, not at all. Rather, I sent an email from my company account 9 hours and never received the autoresponse, but I just sent an email from my personal account and immediately got an autoresponse.
(and yes, I did check my spam :p)
i think there's greylisting bryce.
dunno if you can check the mail queue
i kind of wish these things were more transparent
mnathani: that does look broken
although it doesn't look like latency is any worse than los angeles to los angeles going via san jose?
Yeah I have no hands on the exchange server :p But I'd assume 9 hours would be plenty for greylisting to have retried :/
Oh well
maybe the exchange server doesn't retry.
hmm i think exchange can be a bit weird about dns too
oh there's only one dns entry
there's also ipv6 on email
it's not that exchange is trying ipv6 and failing or something stupid like that?
I have no way of knowing
https://exchangemaster.wordpress.com/2013/07/10/once-again-unchecking-ipv6-on-a-nic-breaks-exchange-2013/
not related
but funny none the less
wow the post below that is sacry
apparently gmail was(is?) blocking any emails coming in with ipv6 hostnames in the headers without reverse lookups
but yeah as as short term solution maybe email from somewhere else?
but you'd probably have to check the exchange end and have arp check their end to debug what's happening with mail
mnathani: if you have a mikrotik device, they have their own svc built into the software on some routeros devices
that's kind of cool
it's "mynetname" or something
/ip/cloud in the cli
err, ip cloud print should show you if your device supports it
m0unds1: no cloud under my /ip section
RouterOS v6.5
