Revised RIPE Database Documentation on www.ripe.net
by Denis Walker 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

Dear colleagues, Earlier this year, the RIPE NCC announced our intentions to revise the RIPE Database documentation, as requested by the community at RIPE Meetings: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/fatemah_mafi/revising-the-ripe-database-docum… The first batch of new documentation pages are available online: https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/support/ripe-database-documentation These pages replace the contents of the RIPE Database Update Reference Manual, which has now been removed fromwww.ripe.net, and include the contents of several other database-related webpages. We will publish further documentation pages, replacing the RIPE Database Query Reference Manual, before RIPE 69 in London, 3-7 November 2014. Features of this new documentation include: - A glossary of commonly-used terms shown throughout the documentation marked by dots (...) underneath. Mousing over these words will show the corresponding glossary entry. Alternatively, you can browse the glossary for a list of words and phrases and their definitions. - An export feature so that you can export the entire contents of the documentation to a .pdf for printing. We invite feedback from the community about the new documentation, which will be revised with each release of the RIPE Database software. Please reply toripe-dbm(a)ripe.net or provide your feedback on the RIPE Database Working Group mailing list. Regards, Denis Walker RIPE NCC

Revers DNS

Hello, Please can anyone offer any advice as to what I am doing wrong in the setup of my revers DNS zone? I am getting two error messages when I submit the domain via webupdates. * No name servers found at child. No name servers could be found at the child.

Proposal to remove "referral-by" attribute in "mntner" object or make it optional

Is the "referral-by" attribute obsolete? Or is it needed in some specific situation? If not, I propose to remove the "referral-by" attribute in "mntner" object or at least make it optional.

last-modified:, a succesor to changed:
by Job Snijders 16 Sep '14

16 Sep '14

Dear DB Working Group, Assessing the "freshness" of database objects can be a useful component in many business processes, but as it stands today the "changed:" attribute is severely crippled: Eleanor:~ job$ whois -h whois.ripe.net AS15562 | grep changed Eleanor:~ job$ whois -h whois.radb.net AS15562 | grep changed changed: unread(a)ripe.net 20000101 Eleanor:~ job$ Fantastic! Now we are absolutely none the wiser. :-) I propose that we introduce a new attribute called "last-modified" as a replacement for functionality offered by past implementations of "changed:". The "last-modified" attribute is set by the whois server software and represents the date and time at which the last succesful modification was received by the server. When a user submits an update for an object in which the attribute is present, the server software will ignore the attribute, insert its own attribute with the current time, and present a warning to the user that the user's version of "last-modified" was ignored. The "last-modified" attribute should be presented by the server software in all types of objects (autnums, poems, etc) for which the server is responsible (e.g. do not touch foreign or mirrored objects). The date and time are represented following the ISO 8601 [1] profile for complete date plus hours, minutes and seconds, always expressed in UTC, including the special UTC designator 'Z'. The "last-modified" attribute should be presented above, but close to the "source:" attribute. The advantage is that the date and time are both human readable and computer parsable! A valid example "last-modified" attribute would be: last-modified: 2014-04-15T13:15:30Z I look forward to the group's feedback! Also, I'm interested in how people would use this attribute in their workflows or automation. Kind regards, Job [1] - https://xkcd.com/1179/

RIPE Bulk WHOIS change anonymization
by Micha 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hi Ripe Team, I asked your DB Managers and they suggested to forward my question to you. I hope that I don't unnecessarily spam you, but I couldn't find this in your db-wg archive with a quick look. Question: Is it possible to keep the actual "date" of the "changed:" line unanonymized? By now it's always: changed: unread(a)ripe.net 20000101 I get that you want to protect personal data like the mail adresses in this field, but I can't see how this date could harm anyone. I would like to use this date field for research purpose and I am happy about your answers! Michael Oelke Institute of Information Systems Humboldt-University Berlin

RIPE Database Release 1.73.1 Available in the Release Candidate Environment
by Johan Åhlén 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Dear colleagues, Based on feedback from users testing RIPE Database release 1.73 in the Release Candidate (RC) environment, the RIPE NCC Database Group have made some software improvements that we’ve decided to incorporate into the next deployment. We will not deploy version 1.73 to production. Instead, we will deploy the improved version, 1.73.1, to the RC environment today, 19 May, and to production on 27 May 2014. The main concern with RIPE Database release 1.73 was related to user-automated assignment generation in the RIPE Database for legacy address space. With release 1.73, if a legacy object was updated with an incorrect "status:" attribute value, then the update would fail. With version 1.73.1, the database software will accept the update, regardless of any value supplied by the user, but will show a warning if the “status:” attribute value is incorrect. For more information about this release and how it might affect your operations, please see the release notes: https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/db/release-notes/ripe-database-release-1.73… We look forward to any questions or comments you might have. Kind regards, Johan Åhlén Assistant Manager Database RIPE NCC

Blocking Access to Personal Data Objects in the RIPE Database
by Denis Walker 28 May '14

28 May '14

Dear colleagues, At RIPE 68, we again raised the issue of how the blocking mechanism works in the RIPE Database. Currently it is all or nothing — if a user queries for too much personal data, we block their access to everything. We often find that this causes issues for legitimate users of the database. This is a recent example of the requests our Customer Services department receives: "This is the outgoing NAT IP for a vast shared hosting cluster. We can't control the type of queries our customers run, there are over 250,000 websites, a tiny fraction might use RIPE but those customers are using RIPE database for a good reason and need to be able to query it. This is why I'm asking for a blanket allow.” Clearly we cannot whitelist any IP address for unlimited access to personal data. However, the option to only block access to personal data objects when the limit is reached would be a great help in these situations. No decision has been made on this issue. We are hoping that it can be further discussed by the community to see if a consensus can be reached. Regards Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Team

"AND NOT" in as-expression
by Aris Lambrianidis 27 May '14

27 May '14

Good morning all, After tinkering around with import-via/export-via attributes, I realised that "AND NOT" is not supported in the as-expression part of peering specifications, although it is described in RFC2622 (along with the semantically equivalent EXCEPT) and included in example (6) of page 25. e.g. currently: import: from AS-AMS-IX-PEERS and not AS6777 accept ANY is not supported, while import: from AS-AMS-IX-PEERS except AS6777 accept ANY is. I have raised a ticket with RIPE NCC about it. Also, Job Snijders was kind enough to act quickly and provide patches for both irrtoolset and whois: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/pull/237 http://irrtoolset.isc.org/ticket/48 Kind regards, Aris Lambrianidis AMS-IX

Options for extending "abuse-c:"
by Denis Walker 15 May '14

15 May '14

Dear colleagues, At RIPE 67 in Athens, the RIPE NCC agreed to take another look at the implementation of RIPE Document ripe-563, "Abuse Contact Management in the RIPE Database." Two issues have been identified that are seen to be difficult to handle with the current model - partitioned subnets within one organisation and adding abuse contacts to more specifics for End Users. The RIPE NCC has considered these two issues and found what we believe to be practical solutions, available within the current model. More information about these solutions and the implementation of "abuse-c:" is available on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/denis/suggestions-for-improving-abuse-handling This topic will also be raised during the Anti-Abuse Working Group session at RIPE 68 in Warsaw.
