Good morning and happy holidays all. I'm in the process of creating an automated filtering application and would like to know if anyone can point me to the right place. I'd like to be able to query a site/db/etc., and pull out specific netblocks to create fw rules. Since IP space is always changing, it would be helpful if my queries can be tailored to something like: wget site | Parse IP space | grep Company | create rule Or: wget site | Parse IP space | grep {EDU_IP_SPACE,MIL_SPACE,GOV_SPACE} | create rule Follow? Right now I am using potaroo with something like : wget -qO - http://bgp.potaroo.net/ipv4-stats/allocated-{apnic.html,ripe.html, etc} But this just gives me entire blocks, not who is behind them. Is there any site I could use to query specifics? E.g., for a gov client: wget -qO - this.site.org | grep "\.gov" | parse_with_awk '{print "fw_rule"}' Thanks in advance and Happy New Year to everyone. -- =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ J.
