About:
RpkiClient is a portable version of the OpenBSD tool for validating RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure) data. It downloads and verifies Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) to help network operators prevent BGP hijacks and route leaks. The tool outputs validated data in various formats for easy integration into routing daemons and network infrastructure.
Key Features:
  • Downloads and validates ROAs from trusted RPKI repositories
  • Generates validated data in JSON, CSV, and OpenBGPD formats
  • Provides robust error handling and logging for troubleshooting
  • Portable across multiple operating systems beyond OpenBSD
Use Cases:
  • Validating BGP route origins for network security
  • Generating data for router filters (e.g., BIRD, OpenBGPD)
  • Auditing and monitoring RPKI validation status
Alternatives:
  • routinator – Rust-based RPKI validator with RTR server capabilities
  • octoRPKI – Go-based validator with a web interface and advanced features
