Access to domain registration data is neither timely nor uniform. In today's Interisle Insights post, Colin Strutt shares the challenges that law enforcement, first responders, and researchers face in collecting even the “non contact registration data” elements to identify where cybercriminals acquire resources for their attacks.

Association entre adresse IP et AS

Dans les discussions au sujet du réseau Internet, on voit souvent passer des demandes sur l'AS associé à une adresse IP ou bien le contraire. Mais les questions simples du genre « de quel AS dépend une adresse IP ? » sont… trop simples.

Does anybody know more about #EuropeSays, the news aggregator (?) / news and opinion platform (?).

They have an account here pubeurope.com/@europesays and a website, but the sources, curation policy, ownership, location, people behind it etc. are not noted anywhere on the site, afaikt.

#Whois doesn't help much, except to show they don't want to disclose who owns the domain!

The reason I'm interested is to find out whether it makes sense to boost their content or not. Looks fishy so far.

ICANN wants to sunset #WHOIS, recommends use of its open source #RDAP command-line client:
icann.org/en/announcements/det

Of course that client isn't ready as a whois(1) replacement, since many TLDs don't run an RDAP server or provide a bootstrap URL:
github.com/icann/icann-rdap/is

I expect we'll be stuck with WHOIS for some time. But I already told you that a few years ago:
