▌ Solutions / Threat Intel

Threat Intelligence & Security Research Infrastructure

Permissive AUPs for legitimate ZMap, ZGrab, and global scanning workloads.

Pain points we eliminate

  • Hyperscaler AUPs auto-suspend high-PPS scanning instances
  • Outsourced abuse-desks blanket-ban legitimate research
  • Hypervisor overhead caps achievable packets-per-second
  • BGP and reverse-DNS controls locked behind support tickets

Capabilities we provide

  • Bare-metal provisioning, no hypervisor tax
  • Permissive AUP for legitimate scanning research
  • Tier-3 engineers manually review every abuse complaint
  • Custom BGP, /24 announcement, dedicated reverse DNS
  • Unmetered or burstable 10/40/100 GbE uplinks

By the numbers

Built for relentless outbound traffic.

The infrastructure that supports continuous IPv4-space probing, JARM fingerprinting, and TLS certificate harvesting.

Outbound capacity

2 Gbps

Per-cabinet burstable; 100 GbE on request.

PPS ceiling

14M pps

Bare-metal NICs with kernel bypass (DPDK/AF_XDP).

Abuse SLA

< 4h

Human Tier-3 engineer triages every complaint.

IP allocations

/24

Dedicated, portable, with custom rDNS.

The problem with hyperscalers

Automated suspensions don't understand research.

AWS, GCP, and Azure run automated abuse pipelines that suspend instances on the first port-scan complaint — even when the work is academic-grade, IRB-approved, or contracted by US-CERT.

  • Instance terminated mid-scan, dataset corrupted
  • Account-wide service freeze pending appeal
  • Source IP reputation poisoned across all your projects

The CARI.net model

Engineers reading complaints, not regex rules.

When a downstream operator sends an abuse report, it lands in a queue staffed by humans who understand the difference between ZMap research and a botnet.

  • Tier-3 SRE acknowledges complaints within 4 hours
  • Optional: we publish your research methodology page on your behalf
  • Optional: standing whitelist for academic / government partners

Ready to move your scanners off the chopping block?

A 30-minute call with a Tier-3 SRE will get you a transparent quote and a scoped AUP statement.
