HostSearcher
Use /afs/slac.stanford.edu/package/pinger/HostSearcher.pl to locate www hosts in the required TLD, e.g.for Malaysia (TLD=my):
| Code Block |
|---|
HostSearcher.pl --tld my --webonly --filter tld | tee my |
This will get up to 1000 hosts in the selected TLD (my) from Google, and for those whose name starts with www, it will try and ping them, if successful it will go to GeoIPTools to try and locate them. The results in the above example are saved in the file my.
If GeoIPTools is working then select hosts that it says are in the correct TLD, e.g.
| Code Block |
|---|
grep MY my |
Verify that they have roughly the right RTT. Then you probably want to select hosts that are educational (e.g. have .edu or .ac. on the hostname) and representative of the country, e.g. in main cities, and do not overlap their location.
