Any simple and easy bgpmon alternatives you guys could recommend?
As a beta service you can try out rt-bgp.he.net. This is a real time
bgp monitoring service we are developing.
It's a work in progress so please make sure to send Martin Winter
<mwinter@he.net> any feedback or feature requests.
It works based on contributed BGP feeds, so if you see based on the heat
map that you can provide a feed from an area of the world we don't
currently have it would be a big favor.

It's interesting, but I don't see any way to do what I primarily
use the existing BGPMon for: watch for hijacks.
That is, set up one or more prefixes to be continuously monitored
and have the monitor send me an email alert when that prefix or a
subnet of it begins to be announced by someone new.
For example, if I have told it to monitor 44.0.0.0/8 and someone
somewhere begins announcing it, or perhaps 44.1.0.0/16, I'd very
much like to know about that, along with details of who and where.
Then if that announcement is authorized, I can tell the monitoring
service that this new entry is NOT a hijack, and it won't bug me
about it again.
Can it be persuaded to do this?

I'm sure if it doesn't do exactly that already, we can add it shortly.
Some of planned functionality for hijack detection is already live.
That's one of the main reasons for creating this service.
Mike.
That would be wonderful. Thank you!

RIS Live API is a choice for this.

I have been a subscribed member to your service for a number of years and do not see where I can receive an email pushed to my my inbox of a suspected BGP hijack. Can that be added?

Yes. Here’s some sample code:
https://github.com/jaredmauch/rislive
It also helps the more feeds they get, please add feeds to them so there are more views of any possible malicious activities.
Hello,
in case you would like to check out open-source projects
you could try our community tool ARTEMIS https://github.com/FORTH-ICS-INSPIRE/artemis
which uses RIS live and Routeviews feeds (as well as optionally local network feeds)
to detect hijacks of different types (e.g., sub-prefix, fake origin/neighbor, etc.) in real-time.
Best,
Vasileios
There’s also https://github.com/NLNOG/bgpalerter (which I believe they’re trying to turn into a website frontend based on RIS, but I run it with patches for as_path regexes and it works pretty well).
Thanks Mike
Anyone know of a hosted alternative to bgpmon? I’m testing Qrator but I can’t determine if it will notify in real-time of a prefix hijack?
We moved to Thousandeyes for this function
Qrator guy there.
Real-time notifications are there but are only available on a
commercial basis, because basically real time is expensive to compute.
The rest is free.
What about once a day notification of BGP hijack? Is that also expensive to compute? I have an account and cannot find any documentation of realtime notifications nor its cost. All I found was this - https://qrator.net/en/pricing . Can you send links to the BGP hijack notification service and its cost?
Thanks,
-Hank
I also cannot find a way to subscribe to your hijack notifications?
I’ve been testing out thousandeyes for the past 1,5-2 month(s) and I’m very happy with it.
Depending on what you want to do with it, it can be expensive but for my current employer it’s worth the investment due to the extra visibility it provides.

That's in the works, but honestly we see no user demand for that.
Either it's real time, or it's not needed. Therefore, it's not a high
priority.

This is basically a noncommercial service, so there's really no price
list. Depends on an IP prefix count, but around $500/mo./ASN would be
about enough for us to cover our expenses and to afford a couple beers
at the end of the month.
