Les is pursuing the possibility of an MoU with SLAC legal, the legal contact was on maternity leave so there was a delay. He has returned and been reminded and is looking at it. He says "The process for foreign MOUs has unfortunately gotten more complex per new DOE requirements." It can take a long time to go through the process. SLAC has not submitted any MoUs in the last 5 years. Les is still pushing forward and sent an outline to his bosses. This is not looking hopeful.

XSS vulnerability in traceroute.pl
...
There is a modified version of the PingER traceroute.pl CGI script. The new version sanitizes the QUERY_STRING variables to prevent some just exposed cross-site-scripting (XSS, see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting) vulnerabilities. It is recommended that you replace the existing traceroute.pl script at your site with the new version, i.e. get (e.g. using wget) traceroute.pl from http://www.slac.stanford.edu/comp/net/traceroute/traceroute.pl and install in your CGI directory (often /var/www/cgi-bin or /usr/local/cgi-bin or /usr/lib/cgi-bin or /var/www/cgi-bin). You may need to make it executable with the command chmod a+x traceroute.pl. You can test it by loading the URL http://yourwebserver/cgi-bin/traceroute.pl.

PingER IPV6 support
- Working on how to support IPv6 Beacons so it is backwardly compatible, making tests. This is driven by Charnsak's needs for pinger6.cs.ubru.ac.th.
- We will need to add an item to the pingtable.pl form to enable the ability to select IPv4 or IPv6 measurements or both.
PingER data was kept on a Sun Solaris file server front-ending a 1TByte disk array. Solaris is no longer supported at SLAC and the disk array is 13 years old so we need to migrate the data. The migration to GPFS was completed 3/29/2018 3:30pm Pacific time. It took about 1.5 hours and we lost the ability to make three sets of half-hourly measurements. It appears to be stable.
