Ongoing problem with DoT measurements
by Meikel Kokowski 23 May '22

23 May '22

Dear RIPE Mailing List, in the context of my final thesis I am conducting research related to DNS (Do53 and DoT) using RIPE Atlas probes. In preparation for the main measurement I issued, to around 4800 probes, DNS queries 1) over TLS [measurement ID: 41196896] and 2) over Do53 (standard) [measurement ID: 41196980] While Do53 works perfectly, DoT seems not to yield any results at all. In the RIPE Atlas forum I found a similar question (https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum/ripe-atlas/PDIwMjIwMzI0MTIzMzE1…). According to that thread, a configuration error on the probes causes the problem. That post is 2 months ago and the problem seems to subsist. Could you provide an update to the current situation to this problem and a possible date for a fix? Thank you! Best, Meikel

Probe TLS stack
by Christopher Wood 15 May '22

Hi folks, Apologies in advance if the answer to this question is available online somewhere, but I’m wondering if anyone knows what TLS stack is used in Atlas probes, and in particular, what sort of TLS features are configurable by such probes. Best, Chris

Future of Software Anchors
by ripe.net＠toppas.net 15 May '22

Hi everyone, accoring to this site, a CentOS 7 installation is required for running a Software Anchor: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/anchor-installation-vm/ But CentOS 7 will be End-of-Lifetime in two years (30. Juni 2024). https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product So it does not really make sense, to set up a new Anchor with CentOS 7, i guess. What are the plans, dear RIPE Labs? I searched the atlas mailinglist topics for "software anchor" and "centos 7" but didn't find anything. Greetings, Simon

Atlas probes, IPv6, EUI-64, and privacy
by Alexander Burke 03 May '22

Hello all, I couldn't help but notice that my Atlas probe is using an EUI-64 IPv6 address. It has come to light that the presence of even one device using an EUI-64 address on a network has a negative effect on privacy for the whole network: https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.08946 Thoughts? Cheers and thanks in advance, Alex
