Il 14 gennaio qualcuno ha staccato la spina a Telnet. Il traffico globale è crollato del 65% in un'ora, sei giorni prima che il mondo sapesse perché. Taiwan ha filtrato il 77%, l'India il 70%, il Giappone il 65%.
Un protocollo nato nel 1969, una vulnerabilità nascosta per 11 anni, 52 IP da 16 paesi che hanno tentato l'exploit, e un mistero che sembra un thriller. La storia completa nel nuovo episodio del buongiornirondirondello.

This is good :nigmathink:
Also, some internet history for everyone:

I'd previously been under the impression that the details of the #ARPANET IMP-to-IMP protocol (as opposed to the well documented #1822protocol for Host-to-IMP communications) had been lost, but it turns out that's not the case. In fact, it appears that in the last 15 years copies of multiple versions of the full source code for the #IMP software have been recovered by using OCR on hard copies. Much more information at https://walden-family.com/impcode/. I don't know the extent that the protocol itself has been reverse engineered from the code.
I love that this was written using #Midas, a programming language which was developed by a hospital. I think I did actually already know that, maybe from https://katiehafner.com/books-new/where-wizards-stay-up-late/ - presumably #BBN just used code they already had from an earlier consulting project.
Anyway - preserve your software projects. I'm sure many of the people doing this in the 60s and 70s didn't realise that what they were doing would be historically significant at the time.
TIL: #Dobrindt und Konsorten sind gar nicht so bekloppt, wie ihre Äußerungen zum Thema #kritis / #hackback vermuten lassen. Ihre EDV-Kenntnisse sind einfach nur auf dem Stand der frühen 70er, siehe https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creeper_und_Reaper – frei nach dem Motto
„Dieses #arpanet ist für uns alle Neuland“
You may have seen a "today in history"-type toot going around that talked about ARPAnet switching to the IP protocol, effectively being the birth of the internet. It was a long time ago.
And it made me realize that the internet per se was only 3 years old when I first experienced it.

Vor 43 Jahren: Wie TCP/IP aus ARPANET das Internet machte
Am 1. Januar 1983 startete ein Protokollwechsel, der das Fundament für das heutige Internet legte. ARPANET stellte schrittweise vom Network Control Program (NCP) auf TCP/IP um.

Happy birthday to the Internet!
On this day in 1983, the ARPANET network officially switched to using the TCP/IP protocol, effectively creating the Internet. https://www.usg.edu/galileo/skills/unit07/internet07_02.phtml

Das #ARPANet, der Vorgänger des #Internet, wurde mal entwickelt, um im Kriegsfalle einen kompletten #Systemausfall durch Ausfall von Teilsystemen zu verhindern. Das Routing setzt dann dynamisch andere Wege um, so dass das verbleibende Netz ungestört weiter machen kann.
Gestern musste ich sehr dringend noch einen #Kickstarter, an dem ich teilgenommen habe, mit einem Eintrag im #Bakerkit finalisieren.
Auf beide Services konnte ich nicht zugreifen, weil eine kryptische Meldung des Services #Cloudflare mir dies verweigerte.
"Das Internet" ist irgendwann total falsch abgebogen, als Services auf einmal alle zentralisiert wurden.. 🙄
There's a mantra about the importance of redundancy that originated a long time ago in the military but applies in many contexts, including system and network administration.
"Two is one, and one is none." 🖥️ 🖥️
It's the design concept of the Internet itself—when it was still called "ARPANET". The idea was that in the event of a nuclear strike where a large part of the country was wiped off the face of the Earth, surviving systems and 'inter-networks' in other geographical regions would still be able to communicate with each other with little or no manual reconfiguration.
Resilience in the wake of failure was the goal, communication was to be ensured at all costs.
RAID, failover WAN, BGP (and TCP/IP routing in general), server clustering all mitigate downtime in the event of failure of a single component (or even scheduled maintenance where pieces must be taken offline).
It's a practice that I won't say I'm *obsessed* over, but I absolutely enjoy employing it wherever I can, even if it seems overkill. ✅ 💙 😎 Call it my inner-prepper, I dunno 😂
ARPANET y sus servicios FTP, FINGER y TELNET
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1969, #ARPANET, a US military project and the precursor the #Internet, established the first successful host-to-host link between computers. A pioneer in packet switching networks, ARPANET made possible the interconnected world we all now share.
The actual first message that was sent that day was just "LO", first two letters of the word "LOGIN", when the system crashed.

On this day, 56 years ago:
"At 10:30 p.m., 29 October 1969, the first ARPANET message was sent from this UCLA site to the Stanford Research Institute."
