FreeBSD/MacOS probe
by Jared Mauch 10 Jan '26

10 Jan '26

I’m looking for people to test out my attempted FreeBSD/MacOS changes to shift a few calls to POSIX compliant and other tweaks to make it build on other operating systems. You can try to build from this git repo: https://github.com/jaredmauch/ripe-atlas-software-probe I would request comments go here: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-software-probe/pull/135 Or possibly in this issue which originated from someone else, but the recent note from Randy had me look at the codebase. https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-software-probe/issues/123 Hopefully this is useful and might be able to be merged back in, but I know this may cause some troubles due to the busy box parent as well. - Jared

Hi Atlas friends, We have just released an update to the Atlas frontend with a few fixes and tweaks and most importantly a new standalone path analysis tool. This tool leverages our recent work on the traceroute comparison component that we are embedding in various places within Atlas (such as the probe detail results page). You can read about this new tool on labs.ripe.net: https://labs.ripe.net/author/stephen_suess_1/introducing-path-analysis-a-ne… Or you can jump straight to the docs to learn how to configure it with all the params: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/tools-and-code/path-analysis You can also see the full list of what has changed in the release notes: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/releases/website_index/2025-12-18 As always, we welcome your feedback and would love to know what you think. Kind regards, Stephen Atlas UI

Credit sponsorship for research project
by Lennart Kloock 15 Dec '25

Hello everyone! I'm currently working on a university research project to detect BGP hijackings. For that it would be very helpful to use the Atlas platform to collect data from different points of view as it provides exactly the tools that I need. I would really appreciate if someone could support me by providing some credits to my account registered with s74lkloo(a)uni-bonn.de. Thank you very much, Lennart Kloock

Call for software project proposals (TU Delft)
by Giovane C. M. Moura 12 Dec '25

12 Dec '25

Folks, ## TL;DR: ``` if project_idea_exists and time_remaining <= 0: upload_to_students("https://sp.pages.ewi.tudelft.nl/site/") see_previous_year_project("https://ntpinfo.sidnlabs.nl") print("it uses RIPE Atlas") print("Deadline: Sunday March 15th 2026.") else: coffee.refill() ``` ## Longer version If you have a nice project idea but no time to develop, you could consider to "outsource" it to a group of 5 bachelor students to do that for you. Previous year example: we wanted a Internet.nl-like site for NTP, but we lacked CPU cycles do develop it. So we submitted a project proposal to TU Delft software project course[0], and students developed it[1], as an open-source project. We host a copy at SIDN Labs: https://ntpinfo.sidnlabs.nl. It uses **ripe atlas** to do real-time atlas measurements. The students presented it at both RIPE91[2] and ICANN84 meetings[3]. We would like to invite folks from the RIPE community to submit projects too. ## Who can submit it? * Anyone, can be from companies or academia * It does not have to be open-source, but students like open-source better -- it helps them to find jobs later ## What's your role going to be? * You'll be the _client_, you have to say what you need. * The students have a _coach_ and a supervisor to help make the technical choices ## What can you expect? * A group of 5 motivated second year Bachelor students. * The project will run from mid April to the end of June (roughly 10 weeks). * Each student will spend up to 320 hours working on the project (most of which will be development). * As a client company you retain the IP for the product that is developed by the students during the project. * The students retain the IP of the report they have to create about their project. If you have any questions, please let me know or the contact info at [0]. Thanks, /giovane [0] https://sp.pages.ewi.tudelft.nl/site [1] https://github.com/NTPinfo/NTPinfo [2] https://ripe91.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/sessions/17/ [3] https://icann84.sched.com/event/29QJv/ccnso-tech-day-1-of-4

by Stephen Suess 11 Dec '25

11 Dec '25

Hello Atlas Community, We have just released an update to the Atlas frontend, with a couple of new features and some fixes: LIR Overview - This new visualisation came out of work on our recently released Member Overview use case. The visualisation presents an interactive bubble diagram that shows Atlas probes and anchors within these LIRs' prefixes, as well as measurements targeting these prefixes. You can check it out here: https://atlas.ripe.net/statistics/lir-overview Health check banners - The Atlas team has done significant work recently on the backend to be able to better monitor the overall health of the system, and the UI will now be able to provide up to date specific warnings in a banner when loading the site, with links out to status page entries where appropriate. To see the full list of what is new, changed, or fixed, please visit the release notes here: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/releases/website_index/2025-12-11 As always, we welcome your feedback. Please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or encounter any issues in the new update. Kind regards, Stephen Atlas UI
