Сегодня в 14 часов восточно-европейского времени (в 15 мск) хочу провести стрим. Тема — что делать в случае отключения интернета. Тема, как мне кажется, особенно актуальна для приграничных регионов как России, так и Украины, Беларуси, Польши и стран Балтии.

Приходите, поговорим.

ну, если даже Яндекс отказывается от «счетчиков жарова», то было бы весьма странно ожидать прогиба от Гугла: https://t.me/habr_com_news/3532

А как вам вот такой таксофон: Иран, Мешхед. не работает

Запись сегодняшней трансляции про «что делать при шатдауне»

Сообщают, что таки банкоматы Привата работают — отписались Львов, Киев, Одесса. Но кое-где и правда подтупливает — есть мнение, что это может быть DDoS

Нетблокс так же заметили нарушения связности в Украине. Но я был на пару часов вперёд. Вот тут они небольшой отчёт написали: https://netblocks.org/reports/ukraine-banking-and-defence-platforms-knocked-out-russia-conflict-JBQX7mAo

Important information for non-Russian media

I think, based on my own experience and a long study of shutdowns as a phenomenon, that in the event of a real military conflict, it is the Internet infrastructure that will be destroyed in the first place.

There are quite a few reasons for this:

1. It is believed that the exchange of information for the coordination of actions is carried out via the Internet. Yes, the military has its own communication systems and they will also seek to disable them, but civilians are also involved in modern warfare, with whom it is easiest to interact using the Internet.

2. The Internet is a very important channel for economic impact on another state - destroy the Internet from your enemy and it will be disorganized. Banks, supply systems and logistics, transport and navigation will stop working.

3. An important part is propaganda. If the Internet works in the occupied territories, then the propaganda ceases to work.

And that's just the first thing that comes to mind. Yes, if the occupation of Ukraine is carried out, the Russian authorities will try to disable the Internet infrastructure in Ukraine. And, I'm afraid, in the border regions of Russia, they will also try to turn off civilian communication systems.

Internet shutdown, I dare say, will precede the attack. That's why it's important.

There are several tools for tracking internet outages. More precisely, the tools are used by specialists, but for non-professionals, there are such resources:

(These are all English resources that you can understand yourself. But everything is quite simple - if you see a significant dip in the charts, then everything is bad)

1. Dashboard IODA CAIDA https://ioda.caida.org/ioda/dashboard#view=inspect&entity=country/UA&lastView=overview

This resource is used by the Netblocks team.

2. Radar Cloudflare
https://radar.cloudflare.com/ua?date_filter=last_24_hours

These guys are tracking and publishing the number of requests to their own CDN service.

3. Transparency Report of Google

I like to look at the dynamics of requests to YouTube
