I am looking for a Window 7 GUI utility that does raw whois - not the standard domain lookup, but rather allows me to specify and change the whois server I am talking to and allows me to customize the whois search string for IPs or ASNs or anything else a whois server will accept, like: "-B -G as378". I know of ezwhois but am looking for something better (for example - they don't have whois.ripe.net listed - one can add it but not save it). Thanks, Hank

It's not a GUI, but whois under Cygwin has always worked well for me. -Alex
I use Launchy (a keystroke launcher similar to GnomeDo, Quicksilver, etc) and it's Runner plugin with some bat scripts that reference the builtin whois DOS/CLI command to create my own. So for example, to look up an IP at ARIN I just hit my hotkey (Atl-Space) and type arin <tab> <IP> enter. My bat script really just runs whois, sizes the command prompt window, and waits for user input before disappearing. I'm happy to share my scripts off list if you are interested. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: Hank Nussbacher [mailto:hank@efes.iucc.ac.il] Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2012 2:49 AM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Looking for W7 whois freeware I am looking for a Window 7 GUI utility that does raw whois - not the standard domain lookup, but rather allows me to specify and change the whois server I am talking to and allows me to customize the whois search string for IPs or ASNs or anything else a whois server will accept, like: "-B -G as378".

Set up http://www.the42.net/networkjack/ Point her browser at it. Problem solved? I drove the Ping, Traceroute, Dig and Whois requirements of a Tier 2/3 Helpdesk with this tool for several weeks - several years ago, I suppose, but I still have a copy running which I use occasionally when I'm trapped behind web-only internet access.

Use your internal company webserver and write a simple CGI form that she can fill out and hit enter. This way you can simply control the results if you ever find out that you are not getting what you want. You could have that CGI also email out the results to her mailbox and yours just so you can keep an eye on it.
