3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (Guest Post)*
“3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (guest post)* De La Soul For hip-hop, the late 1980’s was a tinderbox of possibility. The music had already raised its voice over tensions stemming from the “crack epidemic,” from Reagan-era politics, and an inner city community hit hard by failing policies of policing and an underfunded education system--a general energy rife with tension and desperation. From coast to coast, groundbreaking albums from Public Enemy’s “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back” to N.W.A.’s “Straight Outta Compton” were expressing an unprecedented line of fire into American musical and political norms. The line was drawn and now the stage was set for an unparalleled time of creativity, righteousness and possibility in hip-hop. Enter De La Soul. De La Soul didn’t just open the door to the possibility of being different. They kicked it in. If the preceding generation took hip-hop from the park jams and revolutionary commentary to lay the foundation of a burgeoning hip-hop music industry, De La Soul was going to take that foundation and flip it. The kids on the outside who were a little different, dressed different and had a sense of humor and experimentation for days. In 1987, a trio from Long Island, NY--Kelvin “Posdnous” Mercer, Dave “Trugoy the Dove” Jolicoeur, and Vincent “Maseo, P.A. Pasemaster Mase and Plug Three” Mason—were classmates at Amityville Memorial High in the “black belt” enclave of Long Island were dusting off their parents’ record collections and digging into the possibilities of rhyming over breaks like the Honey Drippers’ “Impeach the President” all the while immersing themselves in the imperfections and dust-laden loops and interludes of early funk and soul albums. -

(BGP was written under the assumption that no one would lie about the routes, so there’s no process for verifying the published announcements.) This allows for automatic and decentralized routing of traffic across the Internet, but it also leaves the Internet potentially vulnerable to accidental or malicious disruption, known as BGP hijacking. Due to the extent to which BGP is embedded in the core systems of the Internet, and the number of different networks operated by many different organizations which collectively make up the Internet, correcting this vulnerabilityis a technically and economically challenging problem. 2/13/2019 Routing Security Landscape - The Quilt 5 Background – BGP Terminology • Bogons • Objects (addresses/prefixes/ASNs) that don't belong on the internet • Spoofing • Lying about your address. -
High Volume of European Network Traffic Re-Routed Through China
Memo 11/06/2019 - TLP:WHITE High volume of European network traffic re-routed through China Telecom Reference: Memo [190611-1] Date: 11/06/2019 - Version: 1.0 Keywords: BGP, digital infrastructure, China Sources: publicly available information Key Points A routing incident led to 70 000 routes used for European traffic being redirected through China Telecom for over 2 hours. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) errors are a relatively common issue but usually last just a few minutes. China Telecom has still not implemented some basic routing safeguards to detect and remediate them in a timely manner. Summary On June 6, a routing incident led to over 70 000 routes used for European mobile networks being redirected through China Telecom for over two hours. The incident began at 09:43 UTC when Swiss data centre colocation company Safe Host (AS21217) unintentionally leaked over 70 000 routes to China Telecom (AS4134) in Frankfurt, Germany. China Telecom then announced these routes on to the global internet redirecting large amounts of traffic destined for some of the largest European mobile networks through China Telecom’s network. Some of the most impacted European networks included Swisscom (AS3303) of Switzerland, KPN (AS1136) of Holland, Bouygues Telecom (AS5410) and Numericable-SFR (AS21502) of France. Often routing incidents only last for a few minutes, but in this case, many of the leaked routes were in circulation for over two hours. Comments China Telecom, a major international carrier, has still not implemented neither the basic routing safeguards necessary to prevent propagation of routing leaks nor the processes and procedures necessary to detect and remediate them in a timely manner when they inevitably occur. -

The Communications Frontier in Early New England. Katherine Grandjean
154 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Winter 2017 BOOK REVIEWS American Passage: The Communications Frontier in Early New England. Katherine Grandjean. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2015. 312 pages. $24.99 (hardback) Since Fredrick Jackson Turner’s now-famous 1893 essay, historians have grappled with the significance of the frontier in American history. Katherine Grandjean joins that continuing conversation with her book, American Passage: The Communications Frontier in Early New England. Utilizing almost 3,000 letters which are part of the Winthrop Family Papers, primarily housed at the Massachusetts Historical Society, Grandjean argues that “communication, in the end, was an arm of colonization” (215). While her dataset is primarily these letters which date from 1635 to 1675, Grandjean’s analysis of communication extends beyond the content of the letters to the technology and the personnel—the logistics—of communication, including roads and waterways. Grandjean asks us to rethink some moments in early American history through the lens of communication. For example, her book opens with the two traders found dead in their boats which helped spark the Pequot War. Why, she wonders, would the deaths of these two men (who had questionable reputations) cause the war? In the early years of settlement in New England, traders were the lifeblood that kept the people who had moved beyond Boston connected with food, supplies, and letters/news. Without them, colonists in places like Connecticut would not be able to survive for long. “Because the violence threatened those who carried goods between the English colonies, it threatened all” (33). Once the war was over, colonists worked to make peace between the warring Mohegans and Narragansetts specifically to keep the land route between Boston and the outlying communities connected. -

Detecting IP prefix hijack events using BGP activity and AS connectivity analysis BY Hussain Hameed Alshamrani A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Security, Communications and Network (CSCAN) Plymouth University February 2017 Copyright This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and that no quotation from the thesis and no information derived from it may be published without the author’s prior consent. Abstract The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), the main component of core Internet connectivity, suffers vulnerability issues related to the impersonation of the ownership of IP prefixes for Autonomous Systems (ASes). In this context, a number of studies have focused on securing the BGP through several techniques, such as monitoring-based, historical-based and statistical-based behavioural models. In spite of the significant research undertaken, the proposed solutions cannot detect the IP prefix hijack accurately or even differentiate it from other types of attacks that could threaten the performance of the BGP. -
Secure Blockchain Network Communication Using SCION
DEGREE PROJECT IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, SECOND CYCLE, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2018 Secure Blockchain Network Communication using SCION ALEKSANDAR VORKAPIC KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE Secure Blockchain Network Communication using SCION ALEKSANDAR VORKAPIC´ Master in Computer Science Date: December 5, 2018 Supervisor: Panos Papadimitratos Examiner: Mads Dam Principal: Adrian Perrig, ETH Zürich Swedish title: Säker nätverkskommunikation för blockkedja med hjälp av SCION School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science i Abstract The paper by Apostolaki, Zohar, and Vanbever [3] describes two rout- ing attacks on the Bitcoin network, partition attack and delay attack. By isolating parts of the network or delaying block propagation, a sig- nificant amount of mining power could be wasted, resulting in rev- enue loss and a wide range of exploits could be enabled, such as dou- ble spending. Hence, the Bitcoin’s solution to the double spending problem would be broken, making the technology unreliable and un- available. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the standardized routing protocol in the current Internet, without any security guarantees. Nu- merous security extensions have been proposed for BGP, but there is still no widely deployed solution. Therefore, some argue that instead of securing BGP, an entirely new inter-domain architecture should be developed. The thesis investigates the possible mitigation of routing attacks in the blockchain technology, by using the new inter-domain architec- ture called SCION. Two solutions are proposed utilizing SCION and IP, namely an application level solution and a SIG proxy solution. The solutions have been evaluated in terms of security, availability and efficiency, with the conclusion that routing attacks can be mitigated using SCION. -
Excuse Me, Are You the Teacher?: the Experiences of Racialized Esol Teachers in Private-Language Schools in Toronto
EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU THE TEACHER?: THE EXPERIENCES OF RACIALIZED ESOL TEACHERS IN PRIVATE-LANGUAGE SCHOOLS IN TORONTO by Vijay Anil Ramjattan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Vijay Anil Ramjattan 2014 EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU THE TEACHER?: THE EXPERIENCES OF RACIALIZED ESOL TEACHERS IN PRIVATE-LANGUAGE SCHOOLS IN TORONTO Master of Arts 2014 Vijay Anil Ramjattan Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto Abstract Like other service workers, racialized English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) teachers in private- language schools are judged on their embodied traits, which are their (perceived) language proficiency and race, sometimes along with other social markers. Research has suggested that because they are not the ideal White, native-English-speaking instructor, racialized teachers usually experience awkward, confusing, and discriminatory encounters in their workplaces. These interactions are racial microaggressions because they send insulting messages to these teachers. Employing a critical race methodology, this study examines the microaggressions that 10 racialized teachers experience in various private ESOL schools in Toronto. Moreover, it looks at how these microaggressions impact the teachers’ professional identities. The findings highlight how the teachers experience a range of microaggressions that occasionally go beyond issues of language and race, all of which promote internal and external identity work. Furthermore, these findings provide the impetus to prevent microaggressions in the ESOL context. ii Acknowledgements No one can accomplish everything alone, and this thesis is certainly no exception. -
