It’s October 2024. Is this plan still valid? I admit that I have a bunch of tools which use URL form which I would have to update to use "Authorization" header. Regards, Grzegorz From: Robert Kisteleki <robert(a)ripe.net> Organisation: RIPE NCC Date: Tuesday, 19 September 2023 at 12:11 To: "ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net" <ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net> Subject: [atlas] Changes to RIPE Atlas API keys Dear RIPE Atlas users, We'd like to update you on some upcoming changes regarding API keys in RIPE Atlas. TL;DR nothing changes regarding how you can use your API keys in the short term - as long as you're actually using them. However, we'll change how unused or forgotten keys are handled as well as remove the less secure in-URL use of them. At the moment RIPE Atlas users can query their existing API keys via the UI and API, including the possibility to retrieve old keys. In order to improve the security of how we handle these, we'll introduce the following changes in October 2023: * The listing (retrieval) of keys will only reveal parts of the keys (enough to identify them) in the API as well as in the UI. * We'll add the ability to "regenerate" an API key, which will replace the secret UUID of the key while keeping exactly the same permissions. * Unused API keys will automatically be frozen after 1 year of not being used. Active keys (i.e. the ones that have been used at least once) will not be frozen. You still have the ability to save your keys until these changes are done and, as written above, you will be able to regenerate them later. We'll notify this list when the changes are about to be done. In addition, in order to further increase the security of our system, in the long run we'll make changes about how these API keys are communicated to the API: * At the moment the API accepts these either in HTTP headers ("Authorization" header) or in the URL (?key=xyz), although the Authorization header version has been documented as the preferred version for some time. * We'll deprecate and remove the ability to use the URL form in about a year (around October 2024). * We plan to send further reminders about this change over time, as well as reaching out to heavy users of the to-be-removed format.

upgrading 5080 swprobe to 5100 on Debian loses config?
by Alexander Bochmann 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Hi - I tried upgrading a software probe that runs on Debian from version 5080 to the 5100 binaries provided by the project, and while the old atlasswprobe package is being removed, it seems there is no attempt to migrate the existing probe key or other configuration? What's the recommended path here, back up the key and copy it into the new configuration directory, or just start a new probe from scratch? Alex.

Porting RIPE Atlas to Microcontrollers
by Urban Suhadolnik 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hi, I would like to port RIPE Atlas probes to ESP32 as part of my Master's project at TU Graz. Usage of microcontrollers could be an interesting approach to increase the physical availability of probes and to decrease the cost and energy usage. Would it be possible to get some support in this endeavour from the Atlas dev team? I would need some help with the communication with Atlas servers. Best, Urban Suhadolnik

I don't receive a one-time code when I'm trying to log in
by Vasileios Giotsas 08 Feb '25

Hi folks, When I'm trying to login, after entering my email address and password, I'm being asked to enter a one-time code. However, I don't receive any such email with a one-time code. I've tried multiple times, different browsers and also checked spam folder but it seems it's not sent. I managed to log in using the recovery codes (miraculously I didn't lose them :) ) but there seems to be a bug with send the one-time code. Best, Vasilis

Ask For Credit for Traceroute Measurements
by Semebia Wurah 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

Hello everyone, I hope this finds you well. My name is Semebia Wurah, and I am a Research Associate at Carnegie Mellon University Africa, working under the supervision of Prof. Theophilus Benson. We are conducting traceroute measurements using RIPE Atlas to analyze the Internet ecosystem in Africa, focusing on the growth of AS peering and IXP utilization. Our research aims to provide insights into the region’s interconnection landscape and help identify opportunities for improving local traffic exchange. We would greatly appreciate any credits you can share to continue our measurements. These credits will enable us to perform additional traceroutes and expand our analysis. Please let me know if you need any further information. Thank you in advance for your time and support!

Credits for an assignment
by Stuhrberg, Florian 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

Dear all, I hope you are doing well. My name is Florian Stuhrberg, and I am a master's student at Hasso-Plattner-Institut in Germany. As part of an assignment, I am currently investigating in DNS over UDP and DNS over TLS response times, using the RIPE Atlas and the corresponding API. However, after my measurements for DNS over UDP, I do not have sufficient credits to conduct the measurements for DNS over TLS. Is it possible that you could kindly share some RIPE Atlas credits, so that I can finish the assignment? Please feel free to let me know if you need any more information. Thank you in advance. Kind regards, Florian Stuhrberg
