I am skeptical, however, that<BR>there is a law requiring German DSL providers to disconnect virtual<BR>channels 'every once in a while' because I asked several German colleagues<BR>about such a law and they were unable to find one (I would be delighted if<BR>you can point me to one!).<BR><BR>> secondly... if your authentication and telling users apart has anything<BR>to do with layer 3, your authentication method is just crap, not well<BR>thought of, etc.<BR><BR>There are other use-cases for IP addresses as end-host identifiers that I<BR>outlined in my post (such as counting the number of users in a system by<BR>counting the number of distinct IP addresses). I am personally interested<BR>in measuring outages by pinging IP addresses belonging to residential CPEs.<BR>My premise for detecting outages is that an address that sends responses to<BR>active probes is alive and well, and that a previously responsive address<BR>that has stopped responding to probes could be experiencing an outage. This<BR>premise is incorrect when I am pinging a dynamic address that has been<BR>withdrawn from the CPE; thus, I would love to analyze dynamic reassignment<BR>behavior across ISPs.<BR><BR>I agree that using IP addresses for identifying users for authentication<BR>purposes isn't ideal but sometimes, IP addresses are the easiest way to<BR>identify users. Other times, they are the only ways to identify users. For<BR>example, if one is defending against a DoS attack, the most straightforward<BR>and efficient approach is to blacklist that IP address temporarily. How<BR>long that address can continue to remain in the blacklist is the question<BR>that we aim to answer.<BR><BR>> as for wikipedia, it also leaks ips all over the place. (basically<BR>inciting users to ddos each other,although probably a less common result<BR>than with IRC.)<BR><BR>Well, wikipedia is only one example of a well-known company that employs IP<BR>address based blacklists. In private conversation with Google and several<BR>content-delivery networks (including one where I interned earlier this<BR>year), I learned that IP addresses are very much a part of host-reputation<BR>systems. So although IP addresses as end-hosts isn't ideal, it's a common<BR>assumption and our work shows that the assumption can actually even be<BR>valid for weeks at a time in North American ISPs.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>Rama<BR>http://www.cs.umd.edu/~ramapad/<BR>-------------- next part --------------<BR>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<BR>URL: </ripe/mail/archives/anti-abuse-wg/attachments/20161119/0ffe4c0a/attachment-0001.html><BR><BR>------------------------------<BR><BR>Message: 2<BR>Date: Sat, 19 Nov 2016 19:01:43 +0100<BR>From: peter h <peter@hk.ipsec.se><BR>To: anti-abuse-wg@ripe.net<BR>Subject: [anti-abuse-wg] What's the point in this type of spam ?<BR>Message-ID: <201611191901.44498.peter@hk.ipsec.se><BR>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<BR><BR>The last days i have been sent a number of these threats, they come from <BR>different addresses ( stolen computers ) but contain no links or attatchements.<BR><BR>Is the goal to harass the gmail user ( it's munged by me to protect an innocent person )<BR><BR><BR>Received: from 14.145.207.224 ([113.68.244.108])<BR>by ipsec.se (8.13.6/8.13.6) with SMTP id uAILTOwC091474<BR>for <peter@ipsec.nu>; Fri, 18 Nov 2016 22:29:32 +0100 (CET)<BR>Message-Id: <201611182129.uAILTOwC091474@ipsec.se><BR>Received: from unknown (HELO localhost) (mark.silberman78@gmail.com@177.205.66.120)<BR>by 113.68.244.108 with ESMTPA; Sat, 19 Nov 2016 05:29:22 +0800<BR>From: m-**-.-munged-78@gmail.com<BR>To: peter@ipsec.nu<BR>Subject: You are hacked!<BR>Date: Sat, 19 Nov 2016 05:21:56 +0800<BR>Content-Type: <BR>X-UID: 5404<BR>X-Length: 910<BR><BR>Your email peter@ipsec.nu has been hacked and spam is sent to all your contacts!<BR>If you don't have a lawyer, you may contact me at <BR><munged>@gmail.com<BR><BR>Best Regards,<BR>M**-<BR>m**-.-munged-78@gmail.com<BR><BR>-- <BR> Peter H?kanson <BR><BR> There's never money to do it right, but always money to do it<BR> again ... and again ... and again ... and again.<BR> ( Det ?r billigare att g?ra r?tt.
