This repo contains supplementary data for the paper Trust, But Verify, Operator-Reported Geolocation
This repo contains biweekly-updated (on the 1st and 15th of the month) lists of RIPE Atlas Probe IDs that likely have incorrect reported geolocation. Users may want to avoid using these probes for scheduling measurements or as measurement targets.
This repo also contains the execution pipeline that produces a list of violating RIPE Atlas Probe IDs.
You first need to request access to the Ark platform from CAIDA. Access is only available for academic researchers and a project description will be required for the request.
The folder atlas_pipeline contains the code.
You will need to install the CAIDA Scamper Tool and its python packages to run the code.
In run_atlas_pipeline.sh, you will need to provide your directory containing Ark metadata at this line: python3 bulkpinger.py --mode probe --scampers [YOUR DIRECTORY HERE] --targets atlas_ips.txt
The final output is probe_ids.txt
