This is a set of Python programs to start distributed Internet measurements on the network of RIPE Atlas probes, and to analyze their results.
For installation, you can use usual Python tools, for instance:
pip install blaeu(On a Debian machine, the prerequitises are packages python3-pip, python3-openssl, python3-dnspython, and python3-cymruwhois. This is only if you install manually, otherwise pip will install the dependencies.)
Usage requires a RIPE Atlas API key (which itself requires a RIPE account), and RIPE Atlas credits. If you don’t have a RIPE account, register first. Once you have an account, create a key, grant it the right to schedule a new measurement, and
use it in environment variable ATLASAUTH
or put the key in ~/.atlas/auth
If you don’t have Atlas credits, host a probe,or become a LIR or ask a friend.
You can then use the six programs (-h will give you a complete list of their options):
blaeu-reach target-IP-address (test reachability of the target, like ping)
blaeu-traceroute target-IP-address (like traceroute)
blaeu-resolve name (use the DNS to resolve the name)
blaeu-cert name (display the PKIX certificate)
blaeu-ntp name (test NTP)
blaeu-http name (test HTTP, only to anchors)
You have here some examples of use. You may also be interested by my article at RIPE Labs.
If you want, you can build and use a Docker image using latest package published on Pypi. See Docker.md.
Blaeu requires Python 3.
Note that the old version ran on Python 2 but is no longer maintained. (It was partially documented at RIPE Labs.)
Name
It comes from the famous Dutch cartographer. The logo of the project comes from his “Theatrum Orbis Terrarum” (see the source).
