The DataPlane.org proto41 feed is now publicly available. The proto41 feed identifies IPv4 addresses that have been observed as open IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel relays. This feed at once becomes the largest and in some ways the most unique DataPlane.org produces. This is the first project feed based on active network surveying rather than relying on a network of passive sensors.

In this post I outline the installation of the most popular RPKI relying party (RP) software implementations on Debian 10 (Buster). These installation instructions are primarily for my own reference, but others may find this useful. I take inspiration from Tashi Phuntsho’s How to: Installing an RPKI Validator.

Undoubtedly my installation may not be ideal nor necessarily even well suited for general use.Read more...
I’ve never been particularly satisfied with any web page hosting solution. For years I resorted to maintaining my own simple HTML (i.e. no CSS).

Now, with the proliferation of handheld devices such as mobile phones, my basic HTML pages are even less appealing to look at and navigate.
There are numerous frameworks, templates, and themes with which to build and maintain web pages.Read more...
