BGP location communities offer a rare glimpse into where networks actually interconnect, but most remain undocumented and opaque.❓
In this new RIPE Labs article, Thomas Krenc shows that, by exploiting measurable spatial patterns in routing data, it is possible to infer city-level locations at scale using only passive observations.

🛡️ The move to quantum-safe cryptography is already underway!
By understanding where your systems rely on cryptography today, you can make the transition seamless while reducing long-term risk.

🇪🇺 The EU is now proposing revisions to essential aspects of its regulatory framework, including amendments to data protection, #AI and #cybersecurity policies.
Romain Bosc provides an update on the most significant regulatory developments for the RIPE NCC and the #RIPE community on #RIPELabs:

Bangladesh’s Internet has come a long way — from being satellite-dependent to building digital highways powered by submarine cables, local peering, and supportive policies.
In my article on @ripencc Labs, I explore this journey and what lies ahead. With more focus on rural connectivity, local peering, and policy support, Bangladesh can accelerate toward a fully digital future.

"DDoS remains a persistent threat...
A clear understanding and view of the DDoS landscape is the basis for developing countermeasures."
Raphael Hiesgen writes about a study on the DDoS landscape. Read it on #RIPELabs

Gaining a clear view of the DDoS landscape is vital for developing effective countermeasures against this prolific form of attack. A new study, carried out through collaboration between researchers from several institutions, helps bring DDoS into perspective.
42 people worked together intensively for two days and completed 10 projects during the #Greentech hackathon. Read about the outcomes on #RIPElabs 🌳

Hacking the past, acting together in the present and building the greener tech for the future - these were the high-level goals of the Green Tech Hackathon. In this event review you will find a recap of the projects along with many links and photos. We hope to inspire your imagination and invite yo…
"In November, we shared our preliminary analysis of the analysis of the Baltic Sea cable cuts. Digging into the results of ping mesh measurements routinely performed by RIPE Atlas anchors, we were able to provide an initial sketch of how this affected connectivity between the countries at both ends of both cables."
Emile Aben, Jim Cowie and Alun Davies delve further into the Baltic Sea cable cuts on #RIPELabs #RIPEAtlas
https://labs.ripe.net/author/emileaben/a-deep-dive-into-the-baltic-sea-cable-cuts/
With last month’s cuts in two major Baltic Sea Internet cables now successfully repaired, and another cut having occurred in the meantime, we analyse these events and delve deeper into the question of how exactly the Internet has remained resilient.
