Potential Prefix Hijack

Hi all.

Anyone know how we can contact AS16735 and their upstream
AS27664. We think they are hijacking a number of our
prefixes (AS24218- and AS17992-originated). Thanks BGPmon:

e.g.,

Have you tried CERT-BR? Uh... I was about to say "they're usually very
responsive, and good at coordinating this sort of thing." And then their
web site failed to load, because the prefix it's in is flapping. Hm.

Fred, you still awake?

All 19 of my prefixes for AS57, AS217 and AS1998 are being hijacked by the same ASN. I sent a note to the ASN contact adrianamr@CTBCTELECOM.NET.BR. I can't seem to contact lacnic for more than a few queries without being blacked out.

RIPE's RIS BGPlay confirms the same, for about the last
hour.

yep since 2am GMT.

  C.

Yes, we contacted them as well. We still have IP
reachability to them from this end.

Cheers,

Mark.

Same problems here, for AS26028
Stefan

Obvious, since I posted about it earlier, but confirmed here as well. Has
anyone made contact with these guys? I have yet to...

I sent e-mails to the AS contacts, but don't expect that to do much in the
middle of the night. No live person at the phone numbers. I can't even
get their web site to come up, although if they're re-routing the entire BGP
table internally, go figure. :slight_smile:

BGPMon's a great thing though!

Somebody's been bad tonight.

Scott

More contact people here:

If I knew someone (readily available) who spoke Portuguese I would call them, but alas, they are sleeping and not technical.

Frank

I've just contacted (after three looong hours waiting...) and forward
those e-mails to them. Hope that helps ...

Can someone confirm that the issue is still happening? Maybe a show
bgp something would help me talk to them.

We too saw this issue.

2008-11-11 01:56:36 GMT they took over one of our /20's ...

  Odd, we were just hijacked too, one match to the same AS:

Prefix: 64.193.164.0/24

Peer IP: 200.219.130.21

  And a match from other AS's

Not at the time of the event :frowning:

AFAIK the event was local to CTBC (AS16735) and their customers. This
is our case and as we host RRC15 at PTTMetro S�o Paulo, and feed it
with a full routing BGP feed it triggered the reports from bgpmon [1].

CTBC is still pending to explain the event,

Hello,

As several people have already observed here, AS 16735 announced
almost the whole Internet last night to two of its peers (AS 27664,
174213 routes and AS 22548, 111231 routes). These routes were not
propagated to the global Internet--and as Frederico A C Neves has
confirmed, it was a localized event.

For more detail on what happened, see Frederico's post [0] and the
BGPMon site's summary [1]. We also have a slightly more detailed
analysis here [2].

Dear Fellows,

I would like to add some information to this thread from AS27664 perspective.

Both AS27664 (CTBC Multimídia) and AS22548 (Nic.br) share two common points:
1. They are IP transit customers from AS16735 (CTBC Telecom).
2. They feed with full BGP routing table the RIS/RIPE project located
at PTTMetro-SP, Brazil (rrc15).

I checked all BGP updates of 2008111[01] from Route Views Archive
Project [1] and looked for prefixes originated by AS16735. I compared
those with the prefixes officially allocated by Registro.br to AS16735
[2] and did not find any case o prefixes from different AS. This
analyses confirms that yesterday AS16735 issue of IP prefixes
Hijacking was not globally propagated.

It seems that only some AS16735's Internet customers (like AS27664 and
AS22548) were affect by this problem.

Regards,
