Mentat

Drobnost.

Seznam rozsahů Casablanky lze vytáhnout z RIPE reverzním query:

whois h whois.ripe.net - -r -Troute,route6 -i origin AS15685

Případně přes RIPE API:

wget --header 'Accept: application/json' 'https://rest.db.ripe.net/search?query-string=AS15685&type-filter=route,route6&inverse-attribute=origin'

I briefly checked the reports sent to abuse@casablanca.cz and the reported addresses seem to be totally unrelated to casablanca and they aren't in their data from RIPE. They never complained about our reports?

When this is finished, maybe it would be a good idea to also write them and tell them that they will be receiving relevant reports in the future.

They actually did, they know what's happening (at least what are our plans) and I'm in contact with them, so all fine, Monča will manage.

Simple and to the point.

Just a couple of notes:

Shouldn't the netmngr --command be update?

I'd decouple both scripts and spawn them both from cronjob.

• Simpler debugging, one could run them separately and inspect intermediate data
• mentat-netmngr.py path wouldn't be hardcoded in update-casablanca.py
• One argument shell=True Popen form is generally frowned upon exactly because of the intermediate shell process

10 6 * * *   mentat /etc/mentat/scripts/update-casablanca.py && /var/mentat/venv/bin/mentat-netmngr.py --regular --command update --whois-file /var/mentat/casablanca.json --source ripe

And I wouldn't even hardwire the output filename in update-casablanca.py, we can just spit it to sys.stdout and leave the rest on the shell.
(We could [ab]use cron variables to stay DRY. And maybe even to make it more readable.)

outf = /var/mentat/casablanca.json
update = /etc/mentat/scripts/update-casablanca.py
netmngr = /var/mentat/venv/bin/mentat-netmngr.py

10 6 * * *   mentat "$update" > "$outf" && "$netmngr" --regular --command update --whois-file "$outf" --source ripe

Also, thinking of it, it might come handy to keep the "ok" version intact in case of an error, and maybe even leave it aside on success.

10 6 * * *   "$update" > "$outf".tmp && "$netmngr" --regular --command update --whois-file "$outf".tmp --source ripe && mv -f "$outf" "$outf".backup && mv -f "$outf".tmp "$outf" 

Or maybe even:

10 6 * * *   "$update" | tee "$outf".$(date +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S") | "$netmngr" --regular --command update --whois-file /dev/stdin --source ripe
