			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The good people over at <a href="http://he.net/">Hurricane Electric</a> have setup an <a href="http://ipv6.he.net/certification/">IPv6 Certification Project</a>. It allows you to certify your ability to  configure IPv6, and to validate your IPv6 servers configuration.</p>
<p>Through the certification process set you will be able to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Prove that you have IPv6 connectivity</li>
<li>Prove that you have a working IPv6 web server</li>
<li>Prove that you have a working IPv6 email address</li>
<li>Prove that you have working forward IPv6 DNS</li>
<li>Prove that you have working reverse IPv6 DNS for your mail server</li>
<li>Prove that you have name servers with IPv6 addresses that can  respond to queries via IPv6</li>
<li>Prove your knowledge of IPv6 techonologies through quick and easy  testing</li>
</ul>
<p>You will also demonstrate that you are familiar with IPv6 concepts  such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>the format of IPv6 addresses</li>
<li>AAAA records</li>
<li>reverse DNS for IPv6</li>
<li>the IPv6 localhost address</li>
<li>the IPv6 default route</li>
<li>the IPv6 documentation prefix</li>
<li>the IPv6 link local prefix</li>
<li>the IPv6 multicast prefix</li>
<li>how to do an IPv6 ping</li>
<li>how to do an IPv6 traceroute</li>
<li>common IPv6 prefix lengths such as /64, /48, /32</li>
<li>and more!</li>
</ul>
<p>This  certification service  is both entertaining and educational. It also helps you commit to using IPv6 for a long period of time, as it requires the output of 100 different traceroute6/ping6/aaaa/prt/whois commands, performed at least 24-hours apart.</p>
<p>Plus, you get a clickable IPv6 Certification badge to post in your blog and a kewl t-shirt (at 1500 points) :-)</p>
<p><a href="http://ipv6.he.net/certification/scoresheet.php?pass_name=banana" target="_blank"><img src="http://ipv6.he.net/certification/create_badge.php?pass_name=banana&amp;badge=3" border="0" alt="IPv6 Certification Badge for banana" width="229" height="137" /></a></p>
<p>The levels are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Newbie</li>
<li>Explorer</li>
<li>Enthusiast</li>
<li>Administrator</li>
<li>Professional</li>
<li>Guru</li>
<li>Sage</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Πρόσφατα οι περισσότεροι Ελληνικοί ISPs απάντησαν σε <a href="http://www.adslgr.com/forum/showthread.php?t=411891">ερωτηματολόγιο σχετικά με το IPv6</a> που τους έστειλε το adslgr.com. Κάποιοι αναφέρουν στα πλεονεκτήματα  τον τεράστιο αριθμό διευθύνσεων που προσφέρει το IPv6.</p>
<p>Σε διαφορετικό site, ο <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/04402882312447488209">cheaplog</a> σχολιάζει σε ένα post του <a href="http://elawyer.blogspot.com/2010/08/e.html">elawyer</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Μια ιδέα είναι να υποχρεωθούν τουλάχιστο οι Έλληνες ISPs να παρέχουν  στατικές IPs μετά το πέρασμα στο IPv6. [...] Όμως αρχικά λόγος για δυναμικές  IPs δε θα υπάρχει, ούτε η παράδοση στο δίχτυο είναι αντίθετη. Και  σίγουρα θα περιοριστούν αρκετά οι ανεξέλεγκτοι στο δίχτυο.</p></blockquote>
<p>Πόσο εφικτό είναι άραγε να γίνει αυτό; Τι πλεονεκτήματα και τι μειονεκτήματα έχει;</p>
<p>Το IP address allocation με χρήση Dynamic Pools δημιουργήθηκε σε μία εποχή που το IPv4 address ήταν πολύτιμο resource και δεν υπήρχε always-on πρόσβαση. Είχε νόημα να μη σπαταλάς IP addresses όταν τα modems που είχες ήταν πολύ λιγότερα από τους πελάτες σου.</p>
<p>Με το IPv6 όμως;</p>
<p>Το RIPE δίνει σε κάθε ISP σαν <strong>minimun</strong> allocation ένα /32 (<a title="RIPE IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy" href="http://www.ripe.net/docs/ipv6policy.html">ripe-481</a>). Αν υποθέσουμε ότι το ελάχιστο που θα δίνει ο ISP στους πελάτες &#8220;τύπου dynamic&#8221; είναι ένα /64, αυτό σημαίνει ότι ο ISP έχει στη διάθεσή του 2^32 δίκτυα /64, δηλαδή όσα έχει συνολικά όλο το IPv4 αυτή τη στιγμή!</p>
<p>Γιατί να μη δίνει κάθε φορά το ίδιο IPv6 δίκτυο στον ίδιο πελάτη;</p>
<p>Easily identifiable! No need to lookup anything! No more incident handling nightmares!</p>
<p>Δεν υπάρχει λόγος να κρατάει κάποιος λίστες τύπου <a title="MAPS Dynamic User List" href="http://www.mail-abuse.com/enduserinfo_dul.html">MAPS DUL</a> και <a title="Policy Block List" href="http://www.spamhaus.org/pbl/">pbl.spamhaus.org</a>.</p>
<p>Η <a title="Demon Standard Dial-Up = full TCP/IP access on a static IP address for a tenner a month" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_Internet">Demon Internet</a> το έκανε τη δεκαετία του &#8217;90 στην Αγγλία, όλοι οι πελάτες τους είχαν <strong>static ip address</strong> στο standard dial-up πακέτο της με £10 το μήνα.</p>
<p>Και μη μου πείτε ότι θα χαλάσει το route aggregation, γιατί είναι <a href="http://blog.ioshints.info/2010/02/ipv6-myths.html">μύθος</a>.</p>

<p>Well, here is a breakdown of what I receive in postmaster@</p>
<ul>
<li>~60% are bounces, backscatter (which I delete)</li>
<li>~30% are spam (which I report to <a href="http://www.spamcop.net/">SpamCop</a>)</li>
<li>~7% are abuse reports (which I forward to abuse@)</li>
<li>~3% are problem reports (which I resolve or forward to support@)</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I liked vrypan&#8217;s idea about <a title="post to twitter, but keep your data under your control." href="http://vrypan.net/log/2010/02/16/587/">keeping control of your tweets</a>.<br />
But I wanted to do it &#8220;the other way around&#8221;.<br />
Keep using the twitter interface, but archive a copy of my tweets in a dedicated wordpress blog.</p>
<p>So I found a wordpress plugin that does that:<br />
<a href="http://alexking.org/projects/wordpress">Twitter Tools</a></p>
<p>I also wanted to populate my blog with my older tweets.<br />
So a bit of <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-Twitter-Lite/">Net::Twitter::Lite</a> and <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/WordPress-API/">WordPress::API</a> thrown in a few lines of perl code, did the trick!</p>
<hr />
<pre class="brush: php;">
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::Twitter::Lite;
use WordPress::API;
use Unicode::String;
use utf8;

my $nt = Net::Twitter::Lite-&gt;new(
 username =&gt; &quot;twitter-username&quot;, password =&gt; &quot;twitter-password&quot;);
my $w = WordPress::API-&gt;new({ proxy =&gt; 'http://stsimb-tweets.irc.gr/xmlrpc.php',
 username =&gt; 'blog-username', password =&gt; 'blog-password', });

eval {
 my $statuses = $nt-&gt;user_timeline({ count =&gt; 100, page =&gt; '1' });
 for my $status ( @$statuses ) {
   print &quot;$status-&gt;{id} $status-&gt;{created_at} $status-&gt;{text}\n&quot;;
   my $tweet = Unicode::String::utf8($status-&gt;{text});
   my $post = $w-&gt;post;
   $post-&gt;description(&quot;$tweet&quot;);
   $post-&gt;dateCreated(&quot;$status-&gt;{created_at}&quot;);
   $post-&gt;save;
 }
};
warn &quot;$@\n&quot; if $@;
</pre>
<hr />So now I have most of my tweets at <a href="http://stsimb-tweets.irc.gr/">http://stsimb-tweets.irc.gr/</a>.<br />
It&#8217;s my own <a href="http://tweetbackup.com/">tweetbackup</a> service :-)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Κάθε χρόνο, ανήμερα το μεσημέρι της πρωτοχρoνιάς, μαζευόμασταν στο σπίτι της γιαγιάς όλα τα εγγόνια (~18) για να κόψει ο παππούς Βασίλης τη βασιλόπιτα.. Ηλικίες για τα εγγόνια: από 2 μέχρι 20 χρονών..</p>
<p>Ολα γύρω από το τραπέζι, ο παππούς γυρνούσε το ταψί 3 φορές και έκοβε την πίτα, ένα κομμάτι για το καθένα μας..<br />
Μια πίτα που μόνο η γιαγιά μπορούσε να φτιάξει τόσο νόστιμη ..και <strong>μαγική</strong>!</p>
<p>Χαρά που κάναμε όλοι μας, όταν η γιαγιά μας έδινε το πιάτο με το κομμάτι μας και <em>ο καθένας μας</em> έβρισκε μέσα <em>το φλουρί</em>!</p>
<p>Ποτέ δε μας είπε κανείς ότι στην πίτα πρέπει να υπάρχει μόνο ένα φλουρί! Οταν μεγαλώναμε σιγά σιγά, καταλαβαίναμε το κόλπο της γιαγιάς.. Την ώρα που έβγαζε το κομμάτι από το ταψί και το έβαζε στο πιάτο, έβαζε μέσα ένα νόμισμα. Αλλά ποτέ δεν το χαλάσαμε, γιατί πάντα υπήρχαν και μικρότερα εγγόνια που έπρεπε κι αυτά με τη σειρά τους να χαρούνε, όπως κι εμείς τα προηγούμενα χρόνια..</p>
<p>Το φλουρί στη βασιλόπιτα είναι συμβολικό.. Δεν πάει μόνο &#8220;όπου γυρίσει&#8221; αλλά και &#8220;όπου πρέπει&#8221;.. Και μπορεί να υπάρχουν και περισσότερα από ένα στην ίδια βασιλόπιτα :-)</p>
<p>Χρόνια καλά σε όλους, υγεία για το 2010!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The report of the <a href="http://www.enisa.europa.eu/act/res/other-areas/anti-spam-measures">2009 ENISA Anti-spam Measures Survey</a> is now available:</p>
<blockquote><p>In 2009 <a href="http://www.enisa.europa.eu">ENISA</a> launched an Anti-Spam Measures survey, asking e-mail service providers in Europe about the measures they take to combat spam in their networks. This survey provides a view of how the fight against spam has evolved since the last survey two years ago.</p>
<p>The survey aims to determine how e-mail service providers are combating spam on their networks. It helps identifying the state of the fight against spam and helps service providers to learn from their peers throughout Europe. Overall, we hope that this research will aid the industry’s understanding and development of best practices in the fight against spam.</p>
<p>Some of the key findings:</p>
<ul>
<li>less than 5% of all email traffic is delivered to mailboxes;</li>
<li>most mail providers not only take care of protecting their customers from receiving spam, they also avoid sending spam to others;</li>
<li>fighting spam has reached maturity although continuous adaptation to new techniques is needed.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <a title="spam survey" href="http://www.enisa.europa.eu/act/res/other-areas/anti-spam-measures/studies/spam-survey">survey report </a>with detailed information about the measures is available for download.</p>
<p><a title="spam slides" href="http://www.enisa.europa.eu/act/res/other-areas/anti-spam-measures/studies/spam-slides">Slides</a> of the main survey results.</p></blockquote>
<p>I would like to publicly <strong>congradulate</strong> ENISA on the methods they used to conduct this survey.</p>
<ul>
<li>They sent a couple of preparatory emails asking if I would like to participate in such a survey and co-operate  with a <em>third party</em> (asking for express permission to share my email address with another organization).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The actual survey, hosted on a dedicated site, had very easy to complete  registration and clean/direct questions.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>They sent a nice  &#8220;thank you for participating&#8221; email.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>As soon as they processed the answers, they sent a preview of the results to the participants, <strong>including personalized answers</strong>! The preview report contained the survey&#8217;s key results and a custom  comparison of <strong>my</strong> answers with the survey average. I didn&#8217;t have t remember my answers, they did it for me!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Well done ENISA people and thank you very much for your work!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>- Κάποτε, μπορούσαμε να στείλουμε mail μέσω του sendmail που έτρεχε κάποιος άλλος, μόνο και μόνο για να παρακάμψουμε routing problems, πχ. dimitris%hypernet.hyper.gr@info.forthnet.gr.<br />
- Τώρα δε μπορούμε, οι mail servers αυτοί ονομάστηκαν <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_mail_relay">open relays</a> και χρησιμοποιήθηκαν για να στέλνουν spam..</p>
<p>- Κάποτε, μπορούσαμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε το DNS που έτρεχε κάποιος άλλος, ακόμα κι αλλάζαμε providers..<br />
- Τώρα δε μπορούμε, γιατί χρησιμοποιήθηκαν σε &#8220;<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5358">reflector attacks</a>&#8221; και όχι μόνο recursion, αλλά ούτε καν την cache τους δε μας δείχνουν..</p>
<p>- Κάποτε, μπορούσαμε να κάνουμε zone tranfers ελεύθερα, και να βγάλουμε στατιστικά με το <a href="http://www.unix.gr/various/readme-xray.txt">Xray</a> που έκανε ο <a href="http://twitter.com/kangelos">@kangelos</a> για το <a href="http://www.unix.gr/Xray/GRstatus/">.GR domain</a> και τους top hosting providers.<br />
- Τώρα πια δε μπορούμε, και το μόνο που μπορούμε να γνωρίζουμε για το .GR TLD είναι ότι πλέον έχει ξεπεράσει τα 290.000 domains (από <a href="http://www.papaki.gr/eett_letter.htm">επιστολή της ΕΕΤΤ</a> προς το <a href="http://twitter.com/papaki">@papaki</a>).</p>
<p>(<a href="http://twitter.com/kangelos/status/5796427574">triggered-by</a>)</p>
<p>Ενδιαφέροντα στατιστικά για το DNS σήμερα, εμφανίζονται στο <a href="http://dns.measurement-factory.com/surveys/200910.html">October 2009 DNS Survey</a> (sponsored by <a href="http://www.infoblox.com/news/release.cfm?ID=149">Infoblox</a>).</p>
