Lightning Talks#
LACNIC 46 digest Program Adjacent pick 19–22 October 2026
Multiple speakers, incl. Roberto Oya Luengo (Nokia Deepfield), Jen Linkova, Hernan Uriel Kleinman, Antonio Marcos Moreiras, Sergio Kleiman, Celsa Sánchez, Christian O’Flaherty
- Why: The densest signal-per-minute slot in the program; several land directly in the PM's lanes.
- What: Highlights from the source material: "The enemy within" (Roberto Oya Luengo, Nokia Deepfield) — residential proxy services renting out compromised endpoints, a market the presenter puts at over US$4B/year, growing exponentially since 2022 when content providers began blocking AI crawlers and AI companies began paying to masquerade as consumer traffic; US IPs priced ~100x Russian ones; supply from factory-compromised devices and infected SDKs; used for fraud and outbound DDoS; edge-based botnet C2 disruption demonstrably works. "rpki-selflab" (Antonio Marcos Moreiras) — a self-contained Docker RPKI lab (on GitHub) exercising ROA, ROV and ASPA across BIRD+Routinator, OpenBGPD+FORT, and OpenBGPD+rpki-client stacks while following a hijacker and a leaky peer. Also relevant: "Proxies residenciales" (Hernan Uriel Kleinman) on the same proxy economy from the ISP angle, "Updating the MANRS Network Operators baseline" (Sergio Kleiman), and "DNS anycast — who answers behind the cloud" (Celsa Sánchez).
- How: 10-minute talks plus 5 minutes Q&A, selected by the LACNOG program committee.
- Where applicable: Mixed by construction; the residential-proxy analysis and the RPKI selflab are the two most broadly adoptable items.
