I totally agree that allowing users to craft an arbitrary packet(header) might potentially trigger some bugs in software/hardware of intermediate routers or a target system. To ensure that RIPE Atlas is not used (intentionally or not) as a distributed attack system we could consider: - limiting # of probes simultaneously running such measurements to a low number. - requiring explicit permission of the probe owner to run such UDM. In that case I could not not see much difference between UDM and individuals crafting packets on their own. -- SY, Jen Linkova aka Furry
