For this homework, we will use the active prob to analyze the the regular service and each port the ip address is using.

For this part, let's leave alone the IPV6 and only focus on the IPV4.

For vps server like :

• AWS
• Huawei Cloud
• Aliyun
• Tencent Cloud

IP range for each of the vps provider

1. AWS

For aws, it is simple, because the ip range is public.

https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json

PS: for the other three I use the (it is a paid web, so I can only part of the ips) https://networksdb.io/

2. Tencent Cloud

https://networksdb.io/ip-addresses-of/tencent-cloud-computing-beijing-co-ltd

3. Aliyun

https://networksdb.io/ip-addresses-of/tencent-cloud-computing-beijing-co-ltd

4. Huawei Cloud

https://networksdb.io/ip-addresses-of/huawei-cloud

IPS

I have extracted the free part of the ips, you can check it

Cloud Service Provider	IP Count
Tencent Cloud	55,700
Alibaba Cloud	38,937
Amazon	37,959
Huawei Cloud	1,194

Installation

• PDM(recommended)

pip install pdm # if you have not installed pdm
pdm install

Run scan

export PYTHONPATH=$PWD
pdm run python active_probing/main.py

Format the code

bash format.sh
