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

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

Many thanks! As I mentioned, I did get all the credits requested, but I am grateful to have them as it will allow us extra flexibility to do some exploratory measurements.

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.

Request RIPE Atlas Credit for Research
by 卫蕴泽 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '23

Dear all, Greetings! I'm a senior student at Tsinghua University, China. Recently I'm working on my graduation project, which is a IP infrastructure mapping research that requires large-scale network measurement via RIPE Atlas to verify my method. However, a simple traceroute with 6 probes need 10K+ credits. As a new user I don't have any credit to proceed, and I've no time to earn them by myself. So I'm here to ask for help. Is it possible for anyone generous enough to offer me some RIPE Atlas credits (like, 10M)? My account at RIPE NCC is fenglan.chn(a)gmail.com, my education email is weiyz19(a)mails.tsinghua.edu.cn and my student ID is 2019011285. Many thanks for your help! Sincerely, Yunze Wei

a link for comparing DNS resolvers
by Michael Rabinovich 04 Apr '23

04 Apr '23

Folks, FYI, Nick Kernan, my Masters student, has deployed a web portal that facilitates the comparison between various DNS resolvers, including ISP-provided and some influential publicly available resolvers (Google’s public DNS, OpenDNS, Quad9, and Cloudflare). The comparison is based on two factors: the latency of DNS resolutions and the latency of TCP handshake with the CDN edge server selected through a given resolver. The results are based on recurrent monthly measurements from RIPE Atlas probes that have both IPv4 and v6 connectivity, have an ISP-provided resolver available for comparison, and which meet certain requirements regarding probe versions and reliability. You can specify the desired month of measurement, a region of interest, and the CDNs to analyze. You can access Nick’s portal through https://dns-web-portal.netlify.app/ <https://dns-web-portal.netlify.app/> The details of the methodology are in Nick’s thesis, which awaits some copyright permissions before being made publicly available. In the meantime, Nick (cc’ed) and I would be happy to answer any questions. Regards, —Misha Rabinovich
