Subject: [lacnog] Postel Network Operator's Scholarship nominations now open
Message-ID: <42DFE711-9320-451E-AB84-2DCC2B20180E@seastrom.com>


[Sent to multiple lists; apologies for the duplicates]

On behalf of the North American Network Operators Group (NANOG) and the
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), I would like to take this
opportunity to draw your attention to the 2009 Postel Network Operator's
Scholarship.

The Postel Network Operator's Scholarship targets personnel from
developing countries who are actively involved in Internet development,
in any of the following roles:

*	Engineers (Network Builders)
*	Operational and Infrastructure Support Personnel
*	Educators and Trainers

Successful applicants will be provided with transportation to and from
the NANOG/ARIN joint meeting in autumn, and a reasonable (local host
standard) allowance for food and accommodation. In addition, all fees
for participation in the conferences, tutorials, and social events will
be waived. The final grant size is determined according to final costs
and available funding. Successful applicants will be advised at least 2
months prior to the fall meeting date.

Applications from qualified individuals are now being accepted.  The
deadline for application is 1 June 2009, and the awardees will be
informed by 3 July 2009.

To apply for the fellowship please read

http://www.nanog.org/scholarships/postel.php

and submit your application via email to PostelNOS at nanog.org.

Kind regards,

-Rob Seastrom, on behalf of the Postel Scholarship Selection Committee

Hola,

Me lleg? el pedido de publicar en esta lista esta informaci?n sobre un  
test que se puede correr en cada red para estudiar la posibilidad o no  
de realizar spoofing de ips desde vuestra PC.

Hay una RFC (RFC2827) y el BCP 38 (rfc3704) que dan las indicaciones  
sobre c?mo configurar los filtros anti-spoofing.

Tambi?n hay un grupo de trabajo en el IETF llamado SAVI (Source  
Address Validation Improvements) que est? trabajando en nuevas  
herramientas para luchar con el problema del spoofing de IPs.  
Particularmente en este grupo de trabajo el inter?s es colocar filtros  
anti-spoofing en una red ethernet, con filtros y protocolos entre los  
switches, usando material firmado.

La herramienta que han implementado en el MIT intenta enviar paquetes  
UDP con determinadas IP de origen spoofeadas (incluso RFC1918) a  
varios probes (84 en realidad) localizados alrededor del mundo. Luego  
hace unos traceroute y te muestra el resultado por ASN.

Corranlo, es divertido! Aqu? est? el link: http://spoofer.csail.mit.edu
