Could you build this?
Partial The API wrapper is simple, but aggregating and continually updating real-time threat intelligence, protocol probing (WireGuard/OpenVPN), and multi-source BGP/CIDR feeds requires specialized network infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The service needs a distributed network crawler written in Go/Python that continuously polls commercial VPN server lists, ingests BGP feeds, and performs active scanning (probing OpenVPN/WireGuard ports, JA3/JA4 TLS fingerprinting, and RTT timing attacks like SNITCH). The hard part is maintaining fresh IP-to-datacenter/VPN mappings across hundreds of thousands of CIDRs and building low-latency lookup tables (e.g., Redis/RocksDB with MaxMind GeoIP-like trie structures) with minimal false positives. It requires network security expertise and continuous scraping/probing infrastructure.
