Probes suffering DNS interception?
by Ray Bellis 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Is there any RIPE policy about whether nodes that are subject to DNS interception should be excluded from results (or maybe even dropped altogether) ? While these probes are perhaps still useful for ping and traceroute tests, they are effectively useless for DNS related tests other than as a proxy measure for how prevalent that practise actually is. For the visualisation I've just been building based on the Root System's "hostname.bind" data returned by Atlas it was pretty difficult to figure out how to exclude those probes on the client side. If there was a heuristic that could be applied on the probe itself or within the RIPE data collector that tagged the probe as having "bad DNS" that would help a lot. cheers, Ray Bellis Director of DNS Operations, ISC.

Re: [atlas] Probe operator notifications
by ripe＠brite.cz 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

For this purpose I use an online ping check service. Your probe need to have IPv6 or public IPv4 and ICMP be not blocked by a firewall to be able to respond pings from outside. To be exact, I use http://wedos.online that is run by one of the largest server-hosting company in the Czech Republic. It is free of charge. You can choose how often (1 minute or more) it will ping the probe and how many pings can be lost, then it sends both DOWN and UP notifications (email, Slack, Rocket chat) Cheers Jiri ______________________________________________________________ > Od: "Ponikierski, Grzegorz" <gponikie(a)akamai.com> > Komu: "Edward Lewis" <edlewisjr(a)cox.net>, "ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net" <ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net> > Datum: 11.12.2020 12:16 > Předmět: Re: [atlas] Probe operator notifications > >+1 for 'your probe came back on-line' > >Regards, >Grzegorz > >From: Edward Lewis <edlewisjr(a)cox.net> >Date: Thursday 2020-12-10 at 22:32 >To: "ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net" <ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net> >Cc: Ed Lewis <edlewisjr(a)cox.net> >Subject: [atlas] Probe operator notifications > >(Seeing the thread about DNS intercepted probes reminded me to send this:) > >For 5 or so years running I have a probe operating in my garage (behind my home’s NAT and using the ISP’s NXDOMAIN rewriting, non-DNSSEC handling recursive server) a run-of-the-mill home cable set up. > >When I got my November report, it said I’d been down the last half of November.

Credit request
by Konstantin Averkin 04 Dec '20

04 Dec '20

Good afternoon, My name is Konstantin Averkin, and I am a Bachelor student of University of Twente. Currently, I am working on my thesis on resilience of DNS servers. In order to successfully perform the research, I need to do ping and trace route measurements against a series of DNS servers located all around the world. With this email I am writing to ask you to provide 20 million credits to perform measurements with the RIPE Atlas platform. Would that be possible? My account is linked to the same name and address as in this email. Thank you in advance. Kind regards, Konstantin Averkin

List of (scientific) publications using RIPE Atlas
by Moritz Muller 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

Hi everyone, A follow up to last week’s Atlas Open House: One of the speakers mentioned that the Wikipedia page of RIPE Atlas [1] lists a number of publications that made use of RIPE Atlas. This list is incomplete and I was wondering if there’s a page somewhere, maybe provided by RIPE NCC, where researchers can submit and list work that used Atlas in some way. This could give beginning researchers and students some inspiration. Maybe this page could also provide links to the measurements themselves for transparency. - Moritz [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIPE_Atlas

RIPE Atlas outage this evening
by Robert Kisteleki 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

Dear colleagues, Due to an internal misconfiguration, RIPE Atlas was unavailable between approximately 1:00-9:00 (UTC+1) this morning. This affected the UI, APIs, some internal tasks, and the scheduling of new measurements. Ongoing measurements were not affected. Our team is analysing the root cause and will take steps to prevent this issue from re-occurring. Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC

Status Check API Documentation
by Julian Panke 13 Nov '20

13 Nov '20

Hello, I can not find any documentation about the status-check API anymore. The documentation disappeared when the new Atlas UI went live, I think. So I am wondering. Is the status-check API deprecated? And if not, where do I find the documentation? Mit freundlichen Grüßen/ Sincere regards Julian Panke

Planned changes to "measurement archive"
by Robert Kisteleki 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

Dear RIPE Atlas users, You may be aware that we publish "measurement metadata dumps" on "FTP" (https://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/atlas/measurements/) every week. These are meant to make the complete measurement metadata downloadable for those who are interested. Even though there is still a point in publishing our metadata in a downloadable format, the current method is not sustainable: as it is defined it'll grow forever - which is not realistic. Currently *every* dump contains *all* the measurements we *ever* had in the system. We plan to change that to "everything that's running now + everything that was running in the last two weeks". This has about 200k items currently. If we published this every day instead of once a week, we will still only produce 10% of the output we do today - by virtue of eliminating 90% of redundancy and repeated work. The syntax and semantics of the content will not change. We will keep the existing dumps as they are mostly because there's no reason to remove them. What this means for users is: * if you care about "current / recent" measurements, you can just use the last dump from yesterday * if you really need all (or a large part of) history, you can fetch one dump per 2 weeks or so and combine them * you can still use the API for random, finite searches We plan to implement the above change just after RIPE 81 (i.e. early November). Please be aware of this change if you rely on these dumps. Regards, Robert

RIPE Atlas UI change
by Robert Kisteleki 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Dear All, We will work on releasing the new, significantly changed UI for RIPE Atlas next week Tuesday (10 November) in the early morning hours. The UI may be unavailable for a short time, and during this work your browser may show inconsistent or strange looking pages - where you may have to reload the page(s) (a few times). Please bear with us while this facelift happens. Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC

Meta-information dumps for built-in measurements?
by Vasileios Giotsas 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Is there any repository like https://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/atlas/measurements/ that contains meta-information about built-in RIPE Atlas measurements (the above repository contains meta-information only for public measurements)? I couldn't find anything similar in the new FTP repository at https://data-store.ripe.net/datasets/atlas-daily-dumps/ I guess using the API is an alternative but it would be more convenient to have such dumps Thanks, Vasileios

Sorry, my bad. I didn't rub my eyes enough. Indeed the reason is different.

Result processing glitch
by Robert Kisteleki 12 Oct '20

12 Oct '20

Dear RIPE Atlas users, Today one of our controllers (a component that handles probes and deals with their submitted results) was updated to run a new version of result processing code. Unfortunately this code had a bug that caused results to be mixed up. As a result, some of the results that were delivered by this controller were of the wrong type / syntax, which may result in errors in processing this data. We reverted this change as soon as we detected the error. This issue likely affected results delivered by about 2% of our probes, between 13:30 and 15:15 (CEST). We apologise for the inconvenience. Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC
