ATLAS probe

The ATLAS probe is a small computer that nicoo currently houses in the rack in W1, assigned id #21514 in RIPE's ATLAS network.

ATLAS is a network of probes all over the world, that can receive commands from RIPE NCC (or whoever else has an account and tasks them) and perform measurements about the Internet, mostly about DNS, ICMP (ping & traceroute), HTTP(S) and TLS. Yes, this is basically a botnet, only for good and not evil ;)

Feel free to ask nicoo if you have questions about using RIPE ATLAS.
