I'm building a peer to peer Browser network that relies on trust ratios in order to find out seed/leech ratios or the trustworthiness of other peers in the sense of whether they could be malicious actors (sharing content too much, producing/modifying content too much etc).
The problem I'm currently trying to solve is that I had the idea to have a pre-shipped vendor profile that contains the necessary information for IP ranges (ASN, organization, region, country, ISP/NAT etc) so that the discovery service for that doesn't have to do this and maybe I can get rid of a centralized peer discovery service completely.
It's like the basic idea of an offline "map of the internet" that should be an approximation of who does what in which amount of network bandwidth and data. For example, data center IPs aren't as trustworthy or peers in the same ISP-NAT could also be censored when it comes to blocked websites, modified DNS responses etc).
At this point it's a big experiment and I'm not sure whether I'm fundamentally wrong about this as I don't have any data to back it up.
If you're curious, it's part of the Stealth Browser I'm building [1] and [2]
May I ask what you are doing? Your original comment read as some osint fun stuff.
