RIPE Atlas Community Contrib

(Collection of links to tools and hackathons documentation)

Welcome to the Community Contributions repository! It started as a collection of RIPE Atlas related tools, and developed into a place to collect the documentation from the various hackathons organised by RIPE NCC.

In the main repository are contributions by the community of the RIPE Atlas visualizations, tools for analysing measurements data.

Below are the links to other independantly hosted projects:

Projects from the IoT Hackathon Rotterdam, October 2019

In October 2019, we held a first IoT Hackathon, in Rotterdam, next to RIPE79 . We had four teams and four resulting projects:

• Project “PRAVAG” (Privacy Aware Research of Generic Anomalies and Visualisations) (Anna, Antonios, Grissel, Peter, Petros, Robert, Vasileios) Worked on finding methods to identify network anomalies by analyzing network traffic patterns, for example: detecting malicious device behaviour to prevent/stop i.e. DDoS attacks.

  • Proof of concept : https://github.com/vgiotsas/pargav-iot-hackathon

• Project “Maria” (Anup, Vladislav, Cristel, Marco, Philip, Randy) Added RIPE probe functionality to TTN LoRaWAN Gateway and RPi in general

  • Original code: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-software-probe & more info: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/software-probe/

• Project “Survival Layer” (Arman, Demian, Desiree, Pouyan, Renan, Tasos) : Goal was to disseminate and authenticate official warnings/alerts in fragmented networks, where users have no access to the broader global Internet: solving it through ICN: information centric networking & Named data networking framework as core ICN (NDN: named-data.net)

• Project “Aethernauts” (Christoph, Craig, Michael, Cristian) Coding an WLAN probe, that should measure WLAN performance indicators, using MicroPython on a ESP32, by befactoring the code to get a better oversight and better maintenace. Including reading config files for variables, which are now hardcoded.
