The RIPE NCC is working on reimplementing the webasused (http://bit.ly/AzZh59) and asused (http://bit.ly/zA5jtd) functionality.
Our goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of your IPv4 and IPv6 address space, listing the assignments made, free space, overlaps, invalids and all other relevant information. Initially this will be offered in the LIR Portal web interface. After that we will also provide the ability to process the information locally so it can integrate in your IP address management workflows.
In the first iteration, we will show your address space, the assignments you have made, and how much free space you have. We're looking for volunteers who are willing to test and provide feedback on the first beta of this functionality. We also want to hear what additional functionality is most important to you, so we can prioritse our roadmap further.
With your input we can make this toolset as useful as possible. Please let me know if you are interested!
Kind regards,
Alex Band

Dear colleagues,
[Apologies for duplicate emails.]
The RIPE NCC is pleased to announce that the implementation of the MD5
password security change has now been fully deployed. This was discussed
recently on the RIPE Database Working Group mailing list.
The RIPE NCC was asked to implement the technical change as outlined in
this RIPE Labs article:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/denis/securing-md5-hashes-in-the-ripe-database
This deployment has an impact only when you modify a MNTNER object that
contains an MD5 password. This can only be done using Webupdates. You
must be one of the password holders to make changes.
Operations on all other object types are unchanged.
The RIPE NCC will now:
- Send emails to contact addresses in all MNTNER objects containing MD5
passwords recommending a password change and suggesting that a strong
password be used
- Perform a small MNTNER clean-up by preparing a list of unreferenced
MNTNER objects and deleting those that are still unreferenced one month
later.
If you have not followed this discussion, we recommend that you read the
RIPE Labs article to ensure that you understand the new process for
maintaining MNTNER objects in the RIPE Database.
Regards,
Denis Walker
Business Analyst
