Announcement of new RIS prototype services
by Oleg Muravskiy 05 Aug '22

05 Aug '22

Dear RIS users, Over the past few months, we have created several prototype services that expose RIS data in different ways. These services provide a REST API, and the data they expose is closer to real-time, as compared to our traditional "bview" and "updates" files. These services are: - Per-peer dumps https://ris.ripe.net/docs/40_Prototypes/10_per_peer_dumps.html - Per-RRC dumps https://ris.ripe.net/docs/40_Prototypes/15_per_rrc_dumps.html - Peer metadata https://ris.ripe.net/docs/40_Prototypes/20_peer_metadata.html Please take a look at the documentation (links provided above), try out these new services, and tell us what we can improve! We would love to hear your feedback. Since we're posting this message across multiple mailing lists, we ask you to please share your feedback on the ris-users(a)ripe.net mailing list, or write to us directly at ris(a)ripe.net rather than on this list. Kind regards, Oleg Muravskiy RIPE NCC

by Anastasiya Pak 04 Aug '22

04 Aug '22

Dear colleagues, The Open Observatory Network Interference (OONI) is a non-profit free software project that aims to empower decentralised efforts in documenting Internet censorship around the world. In collaboration with different partners, Simone Basso and colleagues publish research reports and research papers documenting cases of Internet censorship around the world. In this new article on RIPE Labs, Simone talks through the preliminary results of an encrypted-DNS censorship study currently being conducted by the OONI.

Request: Provide a simple API to get user's network info.
by Darvari 28 Jun '22

28 Jun '22

Hello, One of the main problems in tools that intend to measure censorship or want to measure the quality and security of the user's network is access to a simple API that has several important information of the user's network: - AS Namber - AS Name - Country Code - and if possible, City Name Also the user's IP to be completely erased from the data. To do this, I use an unofficial Cloudflare service that may change or be restricted at any time: https://speed.cloudflare.com/meta <https://speed.cloudflare.com/meta> I am aware that many other tools and projects need this. Because either their backend server is blocked or other services such as ipinfo, ipconfig, avast, etc, are not available in all countries due to sanctions. Therefore, I ask you to provide such a service because you have the most accessibility in the world. Best Regards, Hossein Darvari

RIPE IPmap v1.1.0: reverse-dns engine
by Chris Amin 18 May '22

18 May '22

Dear colleagues, In November of last year, we released version 1.0.0 of RIPE IPmap. The main feature of that version was the new latency engine, but we also included a prototype of the “reverse-dns” engine, which used very basic pattern matching of hostnames from PTR to provide location guesses. We are pleased to announce that with v1.1.0 the reverse-dns engine has received a major upgrade, allowing it to provide much better geolocation answers through pattern analysis of the entire IPmap “latency” and “worlds” datasets, with daily analysis performed mostly thanks to the sc_hoiho tool from CAIDA’s scamper toolkit. More information about the new engine, as well as links to information on the sc_hoiho tool and its theoretical underpinnings can be found at: https://ipmap.ripe.net/docs/01.manual/#reverse-dns As well as the new and improved reverse-dns engine, the suggestion system has been improved to better combine results from the various geolocation engines. As always, you can get started with the API with the IPmap docs at: https://ipmap.ripe.net/docs/ Note: this mail was sent to ipmap(a)ripe.net yesterday, but I'm aware that not many people have subscribed to that list (yet). If you're interested in IPmap you can sign up to that list at: https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/ipmap Kind regards, Chris Amin RIPE NCC
