Netwatch

Tracked countries

About

The aim of netwatch (yes, cyberpunk reference) is to provide data on the internet connectivity of regions that suffer from censorship or network outages.

What regions?

Especially regions at war where internet connectivity is often disrupted by governments or other actors, this project aims to provide data on the connectivity and stability of these regions.

Scanning

Two times a day the IP ranges of the countries are scanned for online hosts. This is done non-intrusively by only sending one ICMP packet (56 bytes) to each host.

Collected data

The only data collected is the returned packet. We store the IP address, the round trip time and the status of the host.
