Worth Reading: Route Leaks

Route leaks are a fact of life on the Internet. According to one ISP’s observations, on any given day of the week, between 10-20% of announcements are actually leaks. Type 6 route leaks can be alleviated in part by technical and/or operational measures. For internal prefixes never meant to be routed on the Internet, one suggestion is to use origin validation to filter leaks, but this requires adoption of RPKI and only deals with two specific types of leak.– Brenden Kuerbis @ CircleID

How To Access Devices with Unsupported SSL Ciphers

With the HeartBleed bug effectively killing off SSLv3 and vulnerabilities in cipher block chaining ruling out another whole swathe of SSL ciphers, network engineers may have found themselves trying to connect to a device and either getting no response (Safari), or getting a response like this (Chrome):

Chrome SSL Error

Or this (Firefox):

Firefox SSL Error

Once upon a time, it was possible to go into settings and enable the old, insecure ciphers again, but in more recent updates, those ciphers no longer exist within the code and are thus inaccessible. So what to do? My answer was to try a proxy.

Charles Proxy

The first proxy I looked at seemed promising. Although not free, Charles Proxy offers a 30 day free trial, and that seemed like a good thing to try. It’s limited additionally by only running for 30 minutes at a time before it has to be reloaded, but for my testing purposes that was not a problem.

During installation I declined to give Charles Proxy permission to configure the system proxy settings. Instead, I manually updated just my Firefox browser to use the proxy which was now listening on port 127.0.0.1:8888. Since I was making an SSL connection, I also Continue reading
