| Using the getdns API – a new application friendly interface to the DNS Shumon Huque, Verisign Labs, Willem Toorop, NLnet Labs and Glen Wiley, Verisign Labs This tutorial gives an overview of the getdns API: a modern, application-friendly interface that can be used by app developers to more easily query arbitrary data in the DNS without the need to be DNS protocol experts. The getdns library has sensible defaults that allow it to be used out of the box with minimal knowledge of DNS configuration parameters, but is also highly configurable as needed by more DNS savvy programmers. The library can run in full validating resolver mode or in validating stub mode, so it can address the DNSSEC last mile protection problem. It is well suited to more application-oriented uses of DNSSEC, such as DANE. We will show concrete programming examples using getdns, including an open-source library implementation of the API in several languages: C, python, and Javascript.

| Basic RIPE NCC Tools for Network Diagnostics and Monitoring Christian Teuschel and Vesna Manojlovic, RIPE NCC In this hands-on tutorial, we will cover the basics of two RIPE NCC services: RIPE Atlas (atlas.ripe.net), a global active measurements network, and RIPEstat (stat.ripe.net), a web-based interface that provides information related to Internet number resources (BGP, DNS, RIPE Database, geolocation, and much more). Target audience: Network operators; beginner users; RIPE Meeting newcomers Prerequisites: No prior experience with RIPEstat or RIPE Atlas is required; experience with network operations is useful More information Where: Bourg, Mezzanine floor |
