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

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

My probe's not doin' IPv6
by Edward Lewis 23 Apr '22

23 Apr '22

General question… My probe was doing IPv6 until 15 July 2021 but not it is not. Is there any way to discover why it is no longer IPv6’ing? I did change my ISP connection equipment about that time, so something did change on my end. But IPv6 works for other devices. When I go to www.ripe.net <http://www.ripe.net/> it tells me I came from an IPv6 address. The device has been pretty steady - 99.71% the last week, 99.91% for the last month (30days). It was off-line 29 minutes earlier today (the notice made me think to look), but never off line more than 10 minutes since mid-July. There’s one stretch of 34d+ of continuous uptime. Run-of-the-mill home connection via a cableTV company. Is there anyway to ask a probe why it doesn’t have an IPv6 address (via DHCP)? Ed

TLSv1.3 Support
by Antonios Chariton 23 Apr '22

23 Apr '22

I’ve ran a measurement against a host that only support TLSv1.3 ( https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/40393656/#probes ) and all probes came back with "Error: protocol_version”. Do they not support the latest version of TLS? I only seem to be able to get them to work with TLSv1.2 or lower. Thanks, Antonios

Moving on
by Philip Homburg 06 Apr '22

06 Apr '22

Hi Atlas Users, After ten years at the RIPE NCC it is time for me to move on. Normally, that is not something that would be announced on a public mailing list. However, I get quite a bit of email that is directly sent to me. This is to let you know that I will not be able to read future email sent to this address. I have two new colleagues who will work on probe firmware development. They are Guy Meyer <gmeyer(a)ripe.net> and Michel Stam <mstam(a)ripe.net>. I'm sure they will be happy to help. As for me, I will be <philip(a)nlnetlabs.nl> from now on. Philip Homburg

problem reusing probes
by Cristel Pelsser 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

Hi, I have a problem reusing probes from previous measurements. I’m launching experiments in pairs from the web interface. I would like to retrieve the probes selected randomly in one experiment for another measurement that takes place at the same time. My problem is that it takes time to show the measurement I created in the list of "my measurements". Even when all measurements are shown in the list of all "my measurements", the creation interface does not find all these measurement ids. So I cannot retrieve the probes I need. Is there an access problem to the measurement DB or am I doing something wrong? Cristel

Problem with DoT measurements?
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 24 Mar '22

24 Mar '22

DoT measurements seem partially broken, only 10 % of the probes do report. (See for instance #39675721.)

Facebook in Russia and a diagnostic problem
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Around half of the RIPE Atlas probes in Russia cannot complete a TLS session with facebook.com <https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/39387725/>. (All the remaining tests have been done with the same set of probes, 'type': 'msm', 'value': '39387725'.) They have no problem with YouTube <https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/39387839>. I also did TLS tests with IP addresses instead of names, same result <https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/39387985> <https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/39388031>. There is no lying DNS resolver <https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/39387902>. But traceroute show no connectivity problem either, we can go to the Facebook AS from Russia <https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/39388122> <https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/39388176>. So, I'm a bit lost: what do we observe? It does not look like censorship but not like a connectivy issue (because of depeering by Cogent and Lumen) either.

broken atlas streams
by Teun Vink 04 Mar '22

04 Mar '22

Hi, We’re seeing some issues with RIPE Atlas streams using the ripe.atlas.cousteau websocket library. Sockets seem to connect properly, but no data is received. tcpdumps show very little traffic. One of the already running receiver application (monitoring the exact same set of measurements) is receiving data, but any newly started daemon fails to receive data. Is there an issue on the RIPE Atlas infrastructure? Thanks, -- Teun Vink BIT | teun(a)bit.nl | +31 318 648 688 KvK: 09090351 | GPG: 0xFC8B25D6 | RIPE: TEUN-RIPE

My Atlas > Credits reporting wrong total daily income?
by Jaewon Kim 19 Feb '22

19 Feb '22

Hello, List! First of all, this is my first time posting to any kind of mailing list, so apologies if I did something wrong. Please let me know if so. I'm having this weird issue where 'My Atlas' page showing wrong info for "total daily income" (around 2x of what I'm actually getting). As you can see above, Atlas is reporting that this specific probe is earning 64K a day, and the total income is around 615K. However, if I see the actual credits page, None of my probes are actually earning that much. Plus, the hourly income is 13.7K, which sums up to around 330K/day. This isn't a big issue to be honest, but just got curious (and confused) with it. If anyone knows a fix for it, or why this is happening, it would be great :) Thank you! Best regards, Jaewon.

monthly information about probe availability
by MAYER Hans 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Dear All, We get this monthly e-mail about probe availability. This is great. But there are some questions. What exactly is getting measured? Is this a connection to some external site? Which could mean that there are other factors that could influence the measure (i.e. that external site is down, etc.) Kind regards Hans —

Ripe Atlas Credits Request
by Sergio Ricardo Hernandez Torres 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

Hello Ripe Atlas Community: My name is Sergio R. Hernández Torres, and I’m currently a Master’s student at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, SE. A little more than a year ago, in November 2020, I was deeply inspired by RIPE's mission and RPKI route validation, thanks to a guest lecture from RIPE at KTH. At this moment, I am currently beginning to work on my Master’s Thesis and chose to do it related to RPKI Validation. To run some experiments, I’m reaching out to you to know if it is possible to obtain RIPE Atlas credits for Academic Purposes. Also, I would like to keep in touch if more RPKI or routing information is needed! My Ripe Atlas account where donations are accepted is: srht(a)kth.se<mailto:srht@kth.se> Best Regards, Sergio R. Hernández Torres Student | Master's Programme, Communication Systems KTH Royal Institute of Technology www.kth.se<http://www.kth.se/>

Update Wikipedia Article?
by Paul Theodoropoulos 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

I was curious what Wikipedia has to say about the project so had a look. The article is...adequate, but could use some updating and expansion. Unfortunately, I am merely a helpful little Probe, without as much insight into the true dynamics of the Atlas unlike many others here. For one thing, there's no mention of the ability to run software probes as I do. I made a few "WikiGnome" fixes on the article, but other than that, I'm not really the person to update it... Just tossing that out there! -- Paul Theodoropoulos www.anastrophe.com

Location of probe controllers
by Malte Appel 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Hi, I was looking at the built-in traceroute measurements and noticed additional targets (ctr-*.atlas.ripe.net) apart from the DNS root servers. As I understand it, these are the controllers for the probes. However, I was wondering where they are physically located and could not find any clear information about that. My guesses from the DNS names are based on IATA airport codes: ctr-ams02.atlas.ripe.net (Amsterdam, NL) ctr-ams03.atlas.ripe.net (Amsterdam, NL) ctr-ewr01.atlas.ripe.net (Newark, NJ, US) ctr-fnc01.atlas.ripe.net (Funchal, PT) ctr-nue13.atlas.ripe.net (Nürnberg, DE) ctr-nue17.atlas.ripe.net (Nürnberg, DE) ctr-sin02.atlas.ripe.net (Singapore, SG) Can anyone confirm or correct these locations? Best, Malte

Is there a procedure to move a software probe to a new device
by Peter Garner (iPad) 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Noob question. I set up my software probe on a Debian 10 box which has quite a few small servers on it. However, I intend to move it onto a Raspberry Pi, so I was wondering if there's a specific procedure to follow to preserve existing settings? Only the internal IP address will change; the external remains the same.

Can't access the serial in SOA records from the API
by Nathan Larsen 26 Jan '22

26 Jan '22

Hi, Does anyone know a way to access the serials from SOA records with the Ripe Atlas API? I have been running a variety of DNS measurements with the query type being SOA, but have not been able to determine how to get serial numbers over the course of the measurement. Any guidance would be appreciated, Nate Larsen

There used to be information telleing what the lights mean. It seems to be gone. After a lot of searching around one finds some information about blinking orage lights but all leds in version 2 are green colored so I guess this cvers V3 (or V1?) probes. have probes V2 been abandoned by Ripe-Ncc? jaap
