There is an increased interest in the security and privacy impacts of software used for slowing down the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic. In this article, we republish the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) recommendations for your information.
Many organisations are measuring the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on Internet performance: in this article, we look at four recent reports.
After the recent earthquake in Croatia we looked at RIPE Atlas and RIS data to visualise the impact a large event like this can have on the resilience of the Internet.
This is one of the series of articles about virtual hackathons: if you are working from home and have some spare energy, please join the collective efforts to solve some important problems: your skills can help people and communities!
Watching the videos from the Chaos Communication Club (CCC) is both an entertaining and educational activity. Our 2020 focus on sustainability has inspired me to share my favourite moments that seem most relevant to the RIPE Community and RIPE Labs audiences.
In November 2019, we organised the first ever multi-location Quantum Internet hackathon.
The tenth RIPE NCC hackathon took on the Internet of Things (IoT). Over two days, community members experimented with possible IoT solutions.
The tenth RIPE NCC Hackathon takes on the Internet of Things (IoT)! Join us on 12-13 October 2019 in Rotterdam.
Based on RIPE Atlas measurements, we can illustrate if paths between different networks in a given country stay in that country. We can also provide sketches of interconnections between networks in that country. In this article we look at the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The RIPE NCC and Juniper Networks are co-hosting the first RPKI deployathon in March 2019 - a two-day event which will bring together network professionals to work on practical aspects of routing security.
This is the first in a series of blog posts on efforts to increase diversity and inclusivity in the RIPE community. The focus of this article is to report on activities before and during the RIPE 74 Meeting in Budapest in May 2017. We also invite you to join the mailing list, and help shape the ne…
The RIPE NCC's fifth hackathon event will happen in Amsterdam, in April 2017. We would like to invite operators, designers, researchers and developers to take on the challenge and join us in developing new tools and visualisations for DNS measurements.
This article is intended to make RIPE Atlas users aware of ethical issues that could arise when using RIPE Atlas. We do not intend to propose any new formal processes or procedures to address the relevant ethical issues, but we do want to encourage members of the RIPE Atlas community to consider th…
The RIPE NCC is hosting a hackathon focused on developing tools for Internet Exchange Points. Come participate!
The RIPE Atlas Interface Hackathon is an opportunity to work together with RIPE Atlas developers and other enthusiastic coders and hackers. The hackathon will take place from 21-22 May in Copenhagen ahead of the RIPE 72 Meeting. Find out how you can take part!
There are a number of interesting new features and enhancements for RIPE Atlas users. Learn how you can put them to use!
During the RIPE 70 Meeting in Amsterdam this week (on 13 May around 10:00 UTC), we experienced a network outage at AMS-IX. Let's see how this was monitored by various tools.
This article describes how RIPE Atlas probes and anchors maintain their clocks, and how accurate these clocks are. We also plan to make the NTP measurements we describe here available as an additional measurement type for RIPE Atlas users.
Since 2003, the RIPE NCC’s DNS Monitoring Service (DNSMON), has been providing a comprehensive, objective, and up-to-date overview on the quality of the service offered by TLD and other DNS operators. Due to technical advancements and in line with our aim to provide consolidated services, we are in…
Once again, we have lots of developments to tell you about, including new features, an enhanced website, a new probe, new sponsors and more. Keep reading to find out about all the latest developments and upcoming plans.

One more way to keep everyone updated! On 30 March 2020, during our second call, we had five participants, who reported on the progress of their projects (* Several articles were published on https://labs.ripe.net/covid19 ) We informed each other on the plans for the next week: * Improving the documentation of the Magma Guide * Looking into delays due to lockdown, per country: Internet Health Report * Adding OONI data to the Internet Health Report If you would like to join: https://pad.riseup.net/p/ripe-ncc-corona-hackathon-keep The next weekly video chat will take place on Monday, 6.

It's nice to receive praise :) From Jason Livingood on Twitter “SUPER COOL to see this come out of the RIPE Atlas Hackathon! This is the world's largest open Internet measurement platform with controlled endpoints (probes) in homes globally. They can't do speed tests but they can track stuff like LATENCY. Nice work!!👍👍 #COVID19 #RIPEAtlas https://twitter.com/jlivingood/status/1245142990336688130
One more update: "In Germany, 42,000 programmers and software designers gathered online for a mass hackathon. #Wirvsvirus (we against the virus) came up with possible solutions to problems including virus tracking, improving inter-hospital communication, distributing food to the homeless, and helping farmers find people to bring in the harvest, and ended with a mass party on YouTube and Slack. A jury will decide which projects will be supported, with government funding guaranteed for the best. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/28/lockdown-living-europe-activities-coronavirus-isolation "

From the RSNOG list (via Sloba Markovic) : "All the major Spanish telcos have unveiled a joint statement to customers, asking for fair and reasonable use of the internet during over the foreseeable future: https://telecoms.com/503106/spanish-operators-beg-customers-not-to-screw-the-network-up/ "
I'd like to share the global coordination effort: listing of the engineering groups that are working on solving some aspect of the COVID-19 crisis: "List of Engineering COVID Groups": https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PmVIADK94Hmug3wRQXi-K94UrXYsZtSFXpRGwCENoaM/edit#gid=0 Examples: sharing of the Best Current Practices handbooks; discussion groups; maker-spaces for open-source 3D printing of ventilator hardware; hackathons; regional cross-connections... Please add your efforts or events to that list! And thanks, Emile Aben, for sharing this link with me. Credit where the credit is due...
“I would like to participate next year. Where can I get more info? I am in San Antonio, Texas, US and am currently taking the Quantum Computing Algorithms for Cybersecurity, Chemistry, and Optimization course through MIT xPRO and plan to enroll to purse my Master's Degree in Computer Science at the local university. (I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science.) Please, advise. Thank you. billgonzalez@webheadtech.com”
Thanks for your interest. I'll get back to you by email. But you can also reach us at peqi-hackathon-orga@ripe.net
“The project page notes the deadline as September 9th, however after the application is submitted, we are told that the deadline was September 1st and we are wait-listed. Which is the correct deadline? Thanks, Tasos Bitsios”
Thank you for pointing that out - we have fixed the text. (the original deadline was 1. September, we have extended it but there are many places where that was supposed to be fixed, and we missed one or two). Regards, Vesna
