bgpipe v0.22 is out! 🚀
New: MRT table dump support. A full RIB snapshot from RouteViews or RIPE RIS now streams as BGP updates, each tagged with the peer it came from.
Which means every stage you already use just works on them:
bgpipe --rpki <cache> -- read rib.bz2 -- rov -- grep 'tag[rov/status] == INVALID'
That is RPKI validation of an entire routing table. 4.1M routes in 7s, validated in 8s.

"With eight Firehol level 1 blocklist matches out of only 79 prefixes, repo.rpki.space stands out immediately. Inspection of BGP Tools DNS records for this server reveals a high density of mailing domains, strongly suggesting that spam mailing infrastructure is hosted across the prefixes in question. "

In today's episode of "Who Cares?", #APNIC serves up an enthralling tale of minuscule #RPKI servers run by who-knows-who 🙄. It's a thrilling saga of navigating #Whois databases and paying bills, guaranteed to put you to sleep faster than you can say "IPv6" 😴.

I keep the ledger at isp6.
The boring, reliable work: allocations, ROAs, reverse DNS — the records that decide whether the internet believes a prefix is yours. Done right, you never notice any of it.
I'll write plainly here about IPv6, portability, and why the network identity you run on should be yours — on paper, not on loan.
No hype. No drama. Just the work, signed.

Please note that we have volunteered to have all of our products and libraries analyzed by LLM tooling, so you can expect security releases for pretty much everything, down to libraries like rpki-rs and projects in maintenance mode like ldns.

rpki-client 9.8 released
Routing security matters to all of us (even those of us who seldom give the subject any thought), and the rpki-client project announced the release of a new version of their Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) client, with a number of improvements.
The announcement reads
- List: openbsd-announce
- Subject: rpki-client 9.8 released
- From: Sebastian Benoit
Date: 2026-04-14 23:20:42
rpki-client 9.8 has just been released and will be available in the rpki-client directory of any OpenBSD mirror soon.
It is recommended
that all users upgrade to this version for improved reliability.rpki-client is a FREE, easy-to-use implementation of the Resource
Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) for Relying Parties to facilitate
validation of BGP announcements. The program queries the global RPKI
repository system and validates untrusted network inputs. The program
outputs validated ROA payloads, BGPsec Router keys, and ASPA payloads
in configuration formats suitable for OpenBGPD and BIRD, and supports
emitting CSV and JSON for consumption by other routing stacks.See RFC 6480 and RFC 6811 for a description of how RPKI and BGP Prefix
Origin Validation help secure the global Internet routing system.rpki-client was primarily developed by Kristaps Dzonsons, Claudio Jeker,
Job Snijders, Theo Buehler, Theo de Raadt, and Sebastian Benoit as part
of the OpenBSD Project.This release includes the following changes to the previous release:
- Various refactoring for improved compatibility with various libcryptoimplementations and in CA/BGPsec certificate handling.
- Fixed an accounting issue in HTTP gzip compression detection.
- Added a warning in extra verbose mode (-vv) about standardsnon-compliant Issuer and Subject ASN.1 string encodings.
- Added a check for canonical encoding of ASPA eContent in alignmentwith draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile-22.
- Ensure that a repository timeout correctly stops repositoryprocessing. Thanks to Fedor Vompe from Deutsche Telekom for reporting.
- Fixed a defect in Canonical Cache Representation ROAIPAddressFamilysort order. As a result, rpki-client 9.8 cannot parse rpki-client9.7's .ccr files and vice versa. Thanks to Bart Bakker from RIPE NCCfor reporting.
- Fixed an issue in the parser for the locally configured constraints.Thanks to Daniel Anderson.
- A malicious RRDP Publication Server can cause a NULL dereference.Thanks to Daniel Anderson for reporting.
- A malicious RPKI Publication Server can cause an incorrect error exit.Thanks to Yuheng Zhang, Qi Wang, Jianjun Chen from Tsinghua University,and Teatime Lab for reporting.

On Tuesday, 7 April, the Global Internet Standards Testing Community (GISTC) held its 3rd online meeting, which was chaired by Alena Muravska from @ripencc.
The GISTC brings together organisations from all over the world around #InternetStandards the Internet.nl test tool and open-source code.
Its goal is to enable knowledge exchange, coordination of efforts, and of course to collaboratively improve the adoption of modern internet standards like #IPv6, #DNSSEC, #DANE, #DMARC, and #RPKI.

Krill 0.16.0 is now available.
This release of our #RPKI Certification Authority reverts back to downloading the RISwhois data and processing it locally for analysing ROAs rather than using an external API.
The Krill daemon will now also listen on a Unix socket which allows it to use the name of the local user for authentication, making it unnecessary to specify the authentication token when using krillc locally.
