On a side note, if your fan started spinning up when you opened this, it's because of the particle simulation in the header.<p>I know because I reviewed this library (<a href="https://github.com/VincentGarreau/particles.js" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/VincentGarreau/particles.js</a>) when a colleague wanted to add something similar to our site. The problem is it uses a naive O(n^2) algorithm for linking up particles when they get near each other, which wastes <i>a lot</i> of CPU cycles.<p>Running this script with a large number of particles and auto-linking on is ill-advised - but fortunately you can delete the <canvas> element quite easily to stop the script.
<i>> Torrent Downloads: If an IP address detected downloading torrents, the risk level is considered extreme.</i><p>Why?<p>There is some more info in the README at Github (<a href="https://github.com/binaryedge/ratemyip-openframework" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/binaryedge/ratemyip-openframework</a>), but nothing about why torrents induce <i>extreme risk level</i>.
This tool does not provide enough information about the scan and the detected "problems".<p>1. It's only scanning for default ports.<p>2. It told me about having a CVE-Score "3/3", please provide me with the exact CVEs, so I can patch my system accordingly.<p>3. Running a webserver on Port 80 is not insecure per se, it's just not encrypted.<p>4. No feature to rescan, provided information is probably old.<p>While I like the overall design, I think this tool is not for technical people, but for everyone who uses the word "cyber" on a daily unironically basis.
Does this work with dynamic IP addresses? In the fine print at the bottom of the page, it says that "the data has been collected passively over the last month," and I'm not sure how you can do that for a dynamic IP address. Could you enlighten me?
Some of the assessments make sense for a server but this is going to be called from client machines. Is there an endpoint to call and pass an IP address to test?
The numbers don't add up.<p>For example, I get 14 out of 100. Encryption are all 0, yet "Overall" is 3 out of 6. The only other non-zero value is "Number of open ports" (2). 2+3 != 14. Σ0 = 0 != 3.<p>Obviously, I have no idea what those 12 risk points are. The three encryption points are not explained at all, neither are the remaining nine.
Reminds me of stuff from Bitsight Tech except they use a proprietary algorithm to rate and give a rating on Organization basis which may have a lot of IPv4/v6 blocks.
Also, Censys.io (discounting shodan & zoomeye).
Wow, I am amazed. Was actually expecting to be bombarded with false positives when I proxy via one of my servers to check that IP - but 0/100 all the time so far.<p>Maybe it's broken the other way round? ;)
I report any scanning done against my IP's. I do not know what the intentions of the scanner are. People trying to make money making a product that scans my IP's and wastes bandwidth and computing resources that I have to pay for should be jailed in my humble opinion.
