Still not working for .de
i compiled BSD4 whois recently. had possible overflow issues i fixed.
but works fine.
newer whois has more features ... and more "recent features supported by
libs" and that always means it works for one person (likely on a
misconfigured box) and breaks for others. i'm not interested since
cmdline whois is not part of net topology management at major (hubs) -
having "a better whois" doesn't make sense.
but it was always a lightweight lookup tool meant for trusted servers
it was assumed that "the telephone company" or any one serving answers
would be found and arrested if they were operating a hacked whois server.
that's not necessarily so. today they shut down tools to interrograte
who is serving what to some extent, and people uploading hacks and or
serving hacks - there is simply not the time to chase as had been
assumed. not that (they) wouldn't if they knew, though.
(may as well call it: whois lying to me)
