A long time ago, CZ.NIC started a project called Netmetr, which was performed in cooperation with the Czech Telecommunication Office (CTU). The goal was to provide a reliable Internet connectivity benchmark that ordinary people can use to verify the parameters of their Internet connection. The cooperation went well and CTU was getting more and more interesting data about the quality of Internet connectivity in the Czech
Republic. Moreover, CTU decided to integrate the service into their systems and maintain it by themselves. They used the open-source software Netmetr and created Nettest – their own instance integrated into their environment. That unfortunately meant that the Netmetr itself lost its main purpose and it no longer made sense to keep it running.
Sentinel View report – February 2023
In February, we saw about a 10% decrease in the number of unique attackers, but they were more active. Usually, we see attackers come and go, but in February, although it was fewer attackers in total, we had on average, more attackers blocked every day. This means that those attackers stayed active longer than in January.
