Finding useful/pertinent IP reallocation WHOIS info
by Fergie (Paul Ferguson) 25 Feb '05

25 Feb '05

Can anyone provide a better way to find, say, the appropriate contact information for address blocks that are further rellocated from the regional registries? I've about reached my frustration levels over the course of the past year on the issue. Example: Trying to find the approriate contact info for an abuse@ address responsible for a malicious host that (may) reside within an address block in Brazil (not meaning to pick on Brazil by no means). Checking the WHOIS database at: http://lacnic.net/cgi-bin/lacnic/whois?lg=EN ...you can find that: #These addresses have been further assigned to Brazilian users. #Contact information can be found at the WHOIS server located #at whois.registro.br and at http://whois.nic.br No, it can't. At least not that I can ascertain. And when arriving at either of these web pages, the only lookup available to the user is a CGI form for domain-only registry lookups, not for IP address allocation info. I was also hoping that the Referral WHOIS (RWhois) database might provide some assiatance, I am informed only that the responsible registry is the Latin American and Caribbean IP address Regional Registry. I have tried many times to solicit a response via e-mail from someone at the Brazilian registry to no avail. Very frustrating. The system is broken and needs to be fixed.

Cogent / Verio Buyout Contract Issue
by Greenhagen, Robin 25 Feb '05

25 Feb '05

Maybe off topic, but is anyone having any success contesting paying Verio prices for Cogent's network? When the Cogent tech called to move our BGP sessions and ports over to Cogent gear, we refused until we get this resolved. I know Verio was no Cadillac, but I considered them a Chevy, and I sure don't want to make a Chevy payment and be told I have to drive a Yugo every day. Robin Greenhagen GSI

Thanks to all who responded privately off-list. What I was looking for: http://registro.br/cgi-bin/nicbr/whois ..which wasn't exactly intuitive from the main page: http://registro.br/index.html Also, I liked the alternative suggestion of: telnet rwhois.whatever.foo 4321 <enter dotted quad or other item of interest> ..however, one thing that I didn't mention in my original post is that what I was looking for was a _simple_ method for our staff to use which didn't require a maze of thought challenges (or a Captain Midnight Decoder Ring) -- something they could just point a web broswer at and find correct contact information for IP reallocation data. Unfortunately, everyone in a particluar organization has access to a CLI WHOIS client, or even a Windoze WHOIS client that provides detailed information with a variety of options. Is it the case that SPAM purveyors have put us in the unfortunate position where there isn't readily available access to SWIP/reallocation information? What a shame.

The whole thing is functionally inept. Our abuse department constantly has to chase down users and half the time it turns out they were sending email to their friends and the people at AOL reported the mail as spam because half of the Internet population believes that any email that they don't find interesting is spam, and that if you aunt sends you a funny forward that isn't considered spam, and my abuse department doesn't need to track down a 75 year old woman from Zanesville, OH to tell her to knock it off. But that's just my honest opinion. -Drew -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog(a)merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu] On Behalf Of Valdis.Kletnieks(a)vt.edu Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 12:40 PM To: Matt Taber Cc: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: Re: AOL scomp On Thu, 24 Feb 2005 12:28:58 EST, Matt Taber said: > It's too bad that about 1/3 of the reported mails are valid opt-in lists.
