Hi all,
when i go through various SpamHaus's outputs, i see that
they reports networks by netname.
I was able to get details by searching that netname in RIPE's
whois web form, but i fail to do that by linux's whois tool.
I get some results when i ask "proper" whois server. But knowing
right whois server is not simple task without netname details...
I tried the whob tool too, but without success too. Now i don't
know, if it is not possible or i did something wrong.
Please, is here some way to get details about that nername
from linux shell? Is here some magic syntax of whois query or
so? Or i am out of luck?
Whois data is irregular, poorly-maintained, and often wrong. The various
'whois' clients offer differing UIs and capabilities. Whois servers
provide responses in ungoverned formats.
You can get a better view of that data by using RDAP, which provides
more rigorous formatting and uniform queries. The reference client is
the "nicinfo" ruby gem.
You can get "ground truth" ASN & IP info using the "whob" utility that
is part of the lft (Layer Four Traceroute) package, which provides info
from default-free routing tables.
