Hi folks, My name is Alexander Gamero-Garrido and I'm a 5th year PhD student at CAIDA, UC San Diego. We're soon launching a large traceroute campaign for research and could use your generous donation of credits. We'll need about 150 million credits, but any partial amount that gets us closer to that goal is welcome and greatly appreciated. My account is agamerog at eng.ucsd.edu Thank you, Alex -- *Alex Gamero-Garrido* *PhD Student, Computer Science* Web: cseweb.ucsd.edu/~agamerog Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) San Diego Supercomputer Center UC San Diego Pronouns: He/Him/His <https://inboxwhenready.org/?utm_campaign=signature&utm_medium=email&utm_sou…> I'm using Inbox When Ready <https://inboxwhenready.org/?utm_campaign=signature&utm_medium=email&utm_sou…> to protect my focus.

upgrading an original soft probe
by Randy Bush 08 Jun '23

i have a probe, 1000004, on a deb 10 vm that was installed in the rotterdam hackathon. the detritus looks as if it was built using a deb install of atlasswprobe-5000-1.deb. two days ago, it stopped working in some way; i have not pursued, figuring i was dealing with an antique. is there a path to make it current? randy

Folks, As I posted couple months ago, we deployed and made available the instrumentation for longitudinal comparison of the performance implications of DNS resolver platforms, including ISP-provided and some influential publicly available resolvers ( https://dns-web-portal.netlify.app/). This work — and Nick Kernan’s MS thesis — was enabled by a generous donation of credits several years ago from the RIPE Atlas community — thanks a lot! Now to keep this measurement going requires ~20M credits per month. I’d like to assemble ~250M credits so we could keep this service up for a year. By then we should be able to see if it’s proved to be valued by the community and whether and how to keep it going beyond this time horizon. Would you please donate to my account what you can? Many thanks in advance! —Misha

Probe DHCPv6 support
by Aleksi Pirttimaa 19 May '23

19 May '23

Hi! I recently received my v4 probe and I'm very happy with it. But unfortunately it doesn't support DHCPv6. I present a practical reason for implementing a DHCPv6 client on the probe. You see, my ISP doesn't send router advertisements with the prefix for stateless autoconfiguration set, and instead DHCPv6 must be used. I believe their decision could have something to do with the fact that the regulating body here requires ISP's to prevent IP address spoofing in consumer plans. And to meet that requirement my ISP may be using a feature similar to Cisco's IP source guard, where switch ports and/or mac addresses are passively associated to leased ip's or prefixes, breaking SLAAC. Unfortunately they hate letting consumers talk with their engineers so it's difficult to speculate this further. For now, I've put a stateful firewall appliance in front of the probe which provides SLAAC, it works just fine. Do you think a DHCPv6 client should be implemented?

Measurement suggestions for new deployments.
by Gerardo Huerta Robles 18 May '23

18 May '23

Hello all, I'm a newbie with RIPE ATLAS Probes, We are currently working on deploying a new Probe network in Nicaragua as the first step for a measurement project. The second step will be to capture statistics of traffic to the internet, but we are not clear what kind of targets are the most relevant for internet statistics. I would like to ask you for suggestions of targets, what kind of public servers are relevant for user internet traffic? We are thinking of DNS servers like 8.8.8.8 or some public HTTP web pages like the government or social media like Facebook, youtube and so on. But what do you think? Do you have some advice? The project is intended to obtain the first statistics about internet traffic and make it public using RIPE Probes and schedule measurements. If you have some advice please let me know, Thank you. Regards

RIPE Anchor updates?
by John Howard 16 May '23

16 May '23

Hi folks, Proton hosts 3 RIPE Anchors (7120, 6847, 6854) and during routine vulnerability scanning we identified these appliances running nginx 1.20.1, which is potentially vulnerable to two CVEs (CVE-2022-41741 and CVE-2022-41742). Given the mp4 module pre-req, I doubt they are vulnerable in practice, but this highlighted that the nginx 1.20 train was deprecated 11 months ago, and 1.23/1.24 are the currently active releases. I note the last probe firmware update 5080 (which we run already) from Nov/22 disabled auto updates on the appliances, so I assume there will be regular updates coming from RIPE going forward instead? Thanks John -- John Howard Head of Network Infrastructure Proton AG Sent with Proton Mail secure email.
