Internet Lab is a personal project dedicated to exploring, researching and measuring the Internet, with results shared through blog posts. These posts are built upon OSINT techniques, Internet-wide active probing, and data analysis. Blog posts will center around the interests of Internet and networking protocols, as well as threat intelligence.

Background

Born out of a desire to dive deeper into the workings of the Internet than your typical day job allows, Internet Lab is fueled by curiosity. Often, new discoveries arise by accident, leading to note-taking for later exploration. This effort here is the "later exploration". Documenting these one-off research and analysis efforts online help me to stay motivated, keep learning and share methods and insights with the broader community, (hopefully) contributing to a richer understanding of the Internet as a whole. Lastly, it helps to become more accustomed to story-telling and proper writing.

While DNS, BGP, NTP and the other core protocols are widely covered by people and bloggers who know more than me, this outlet tries to explore some of the lesser known aspects of the Internet. Expect research covering niche protocols, obscure phenomena on the Internet, bits of threat intelligence and just intersting or awesome stuff that happens on the Internet.

People

A short introduction of the people behind this project.

Max Resing

Internet Lab was introduced by Max Resing, a Cyber Security and Data Science student at the University of Twente. His profession is to be a Research Analyst for a global Anti-DDoS solution provider, where he analyzes the DDoS theat landscape, attack vectors, develops prototypes and improves advanced DDoS detection and mitigation techniques.

Max's expertise lies at the intersection of data science, data engineering and cybersecurity, fostering a hands-on approach to building platforms and data pipelines. In fact, this project emerged as a desire to build sophisticated data pipelines and data analytics for a platform of which he is the executive sponsor. He is the architect behind the platform powering Internet Lab's measurement, research and analysis efforts.
