Services
We provide a number of services, both public and private, for the benefit of the Internet community. In this section is but a sample of our public services and how they can help you keep your networks safe. We offer over a dozen high value services, so if you have seen something on our website that piques your interest, please contact us.
The Bogon Reference
A bogon prefix is a route that should never appear in the Internet routing table. This can be for one of several reasons - either the prefix is within a private or reserved IP address block, or a block that has not yet been allocated to a Regional Internet Registry (RIR). The Bogon Reference pages provide a number of resources for the filtering of bogon prefixes from your routers and hosts, including tracking them manually and automatically throug HTTP, BGP, RADb, DNS, e-mail, and other methods. Check out the bogon reference for more details!
The Darknet Project
Tracking compromised machines can be difficult. Security solutions often don't scale to the size of larger networks. Technologies such as IDS are flawed, producing copious false positives. When solutions are scaled to fit the larger providers, they often require considerable care and feeding, thus taking time away from problem mitigation. There must be a better way!
Enter the Darknet! A Darknet is a portion of routed, allocated IP space in which no active services or servers reside. These are "dark" because there is, seemingly, nothing within these networks. For more information on darknets, and how they can help keep your network safe, check out our darknet project.
The IP to ASN Mapping Project
Team Cymru provides a number of query interfaces that allow for the mapping of IP addresses to BGP prefixes and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs), based on BGP feeds from our 50+ BGP peers, and updated every 4 hours. This data is available through traditional WHOIS (TCP 43), DNS (UDP 53), HTTP (TCP 80), and HTTPS (TCP 443). For more information on the data available, and how to query, check out our IP to ASN Mapping Project.
Consulting and Training
Team Cymru provides both consulting and training services in a wide variety of areas relevant to our expertise and study. Consulting is not our primary focus, but we are always eager to help if someone within the community needs assistance. Training is also an important goal of ours - to effectively fight crime and malicious activity online, you must have the appropriate knowledge and tools. We work hard to help impart that knowledge in the community through a wide variety of training projects. Check out our consulting page and our training page for more information on each of these items!
