Hi Ronald,
Thanks for your email, brother!

...i don't know any young who is actually contributing to the DBWG.

For me, my hope is in JESUS (a man GOD)
this helps me to not focus on void issues
 and mundane ones for too long. That's why i'm not considering the time as
a
blocking factor; even when it seem to
be working against my expectations.


any of us could be struck by lightning at any time.  So I guess we'll see.

...again, thanks for your much appreciated efforts!

Hopefully, you are also considering what Nishal has said on the very topic.

...imho, it's obvious that what you are
doing, for so long, is not a work for a
single person. What do you think on the
idea of creating the "INR Police/Guardian
for Routing Security": a non profit org
with the mission to do no more, no less
than what you are doing, alone, right now.

...i could probably contribute more, if you
 continue to document your knowledge...on
 a wiki/ReadTheDocs somewhere...i'm
sure that the cmNOG or the GNA would
be glad to help to support such an
initiative (at least in hosting the tool).

You know, progressively provide a list of
recommended tools to master for the
task. Explaining how they are used to accomplish the chosen mission...

...i know that you have started to release
your tools, thank for that...i wish to try it
soon, GOD permit!

A list gathered follows:

~°~
•1] Script in Perl - ripebogonroutes <https://pastebin.com/raw/LsvZ05tX>
•2] grepcidr 3.0 - Filter IP addresses
matching IPv4 and IPv6 CIDR specification
<https://github.com/jrlevine/grepcidr3>
•3] irrslurp - An IRR ancillary data slurper library
<https://github.com/nickhilliard/irrslurp>
•4] ...any-rirbogonroutes coming soon ;-)
...maybe irrslurp is sufficient? :-/

It would be Bad if we

...there is no mean for a human being or
even AI product to make zero mistakes.
But, yes!

Have a blessed monday, y'all!

Shalom,
