Description
Hi HN, I built a free BGP looking glass and IP/ASN lookup tool. You can paste in an IP (v4 or v6), a domain, or an AS number and get whois, routing info, and the global BGP view.Try:https://god.ad/view/8.8.8.8https://god.ad/view/2606:4700::1111https://god.ad/view/AS13335https://god.ad/view/google.comCan also be added to mobile homescreen as PWA

Could you build this?
Partial While the web dashboard and lookups are standard web dev, aggregating real-time global BGP routing tables requires connecting to BGP route collectors (like RIPE RIS or Route Views) or peering multi-session MRT feeds.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires consuming multihomed BGP MRT dumps or live BMP (BGP Monitoring Protocol) streams from global looking glasses or tier-1 IXP route collectors, indexing billions of prefix announcements in ClickHouse, and running a resilient IP/ASN query microservice. It requires network engineering expertise in autonomous system topologies and low-latency network telemetry indexing.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a analytics & bi tool for Legal yet.
