Protecting Your Resources
RIPE NCC Regional Meeting Iran - November 2014
Protecting Your Resources
• IPv4 addresses are becoming more valuable• Criminals use very sophisticated methods to obtain
control over (apparently) unused address blocks- Faking registration and identity papers- Faking entire websites and domains
• The RIPE NCC has to do more thorough checks- Unfortunately, it can take more time to process requests- Please cooperate in supplying the required documentation
• Hijackers often target blocks with outdated contacts details!
19
RIPE NCC Regional Meeting Iran - November 2014

• Verify your entries in the RIPE Database- Authentication via maintainer passwords- Contact details in maintainer and other objects
• Process any changes right away- Check your information at regular intervals
