IPDetective collects data from about 60+ different sources such as official cloud provider endpoints and public VPN/Proxy/Tor/Bot net lists. Then aggregates this data into a fast and easy to use API that can be integrated into applications or scripts easily. IPDetective started as a hobby project for my other hobby projects :) and I decided to wrap a simple website around and offer it as a service. Let me know what your thoughts, if you find value in this service or if you have any feature requests.

TL;DR explanation (go to https://github.com/Sakura-sx/Aroma?tab=readme-ov-file#tldr-e... if you want the formatted version) This is done by measuring the minimum TCP RTT (client.socket.tcpi_min_rtt) seen and the smoothed TCP RTT (client.socket.tcpi_rtt). I am getting this data by using Fastly Custom VCL, they get this data from the Linux kernel (struct tcp_info -> tcpi_min_rtt and tcpi_rtt). I am using Fastly for the Demo since they have PoPs all around the world and they expose TCP socket data to me. The score is calculated by doing tcpi_min_rtt/tcpi_rtt. It's…

We've just launched an opensource golang `ipinfo` cli that lets you quickly and easily get IP address data from the cli. You can lookup geolocation, isp, carrier & vpn status for a single IP (in much the same way you can by `curl ipinfo.io`) but there's a bunch of additional functionality, including: - bulk lookups of IPs - summarize IPs (so get top ASNs, cities etc from a ton of IPs) - grepip subcommand to grep for IPs (v4, v6 and bogon flags available) - map command to map a bunch of IPs And more! See https://github.com/ipinfo/cli for more details and installation…

I've been researching the bot & proxies space for years. I slowly incubated a service to protect public forms, contents and APIs. It recenty reached a few million daily requests and I now dare to bring it to light. Truesign detects bots, proxies/vpns and fake emails, through a single request from the browser, without challenges or user interaction. It can block the request based on rules you choose, or grant a token with encrypted information about the visitor for you to decide. I created a few pages to showcase how it works: - https:/demo.truesign.ai/protected-form : a form…
