🔷 About the Dataset 🔷

The Corpus of Resolutions: UN Security Council (CR-UNSC) collects and presents for the first time in human and machine-readable form all resolutions, drafts, and meeting records of the UN Security Council, including detailed metadata, as published by the UN Digital Library and revised by ourselves.

See this blog post introducing the dataset for an overview: https://seanfobbe.com/posts/2024-05-06_new-dataset-corpus-of-resolutions-un-security-council/

We recently published a pre-print entitled "Words of Power: Introducing a Comprehensive Corpus of UN Security Council Resolutions" (Zenodo 2025) describing the collection, revision and full creation process of the corpus: https://zenodo.org/records/15191558/files/Fobbe-Gasbarri-Ridi_2025_Words-of-Power-Introducing-UN-Security-Council-Resolutions-Corpus.pdf?download=1

Reverse Engineering a Mysterious UDP Stream in My Hotel (2016)

We’ve published new research from the EU co-funded project NGSOTI: “Learning from large-scale IPv4 blackhole: Behavioral analysis of SNMP traffic”.

Over a 12-month period (Nov 2024–Oct 2025), our network telescope captured ~634 million unsolicited SNMP queries from more than 153,000 unique IPv4 sources scanning an unused /18 block.

The origins of the traffic are globally distributed, with notable concentrations from Indonesia, China, the United States, Germany, Chile and others, as well as a few outliers generating unusually high volumes. A significant portion of the scanning activity can also be attributed to infrastructure belonging to commercial threat-intelligence and scanning companies, providing useful context on what constitutes “expected” background noise.

The analysis covers SNMP version usage (v1/v2c overwhelmingly dominant, minimal v3), community-string patterns (default, weak, and undocumented strings), and OIDs that point to which device vendors are most scanned.

This dataset provides insight into real-world reconnaissance trends targeting SNMP-capable infrastructure, helping defenders better understand background noise and scanning behaviours.
