Ripe

Was looking for a tcl that would perform a Ripe lookup on an ip address and show the info for that ip according to the ripe database.

http://www.ripe.net/whois

Thanks

no need to parse web output

simply connect to WHOIS server on port 43:

Code: Select all

set s [socket whois.ripe.net 43]
puts $s domain.com; flush $s
set data [read $s]

(this thing works because you [flush] the blocking socket and the server then dumps back to you its output which is captured by [read])

forgive my stupidness but is this a tcl script i can load into my egg. I wanted to do a !whois ipaddy and the bot respond with the ripe info.

Happy new year by the way :)

If you want your bot to respond to a public command a TCL script is the thing you will want to have as long you don't want to compile a C module.
I am pretty sure there are already some whois scripts around. Most do dns lookups, but if they use the "whois" tool you can always add a dnslookup before this query.

   set s [socket whois.ripe.net 43]
   puts $s $t; flush $s
   foreach line [split [read $s] \n] {
      puthelp "privmsg $c :$line"
   }
   close $s
}

in channel i do
!whois myipaddy
and i get the result but the ip address i input seems to never get parsed to the query database/engine.

the following is part of what i get. In total i get about 50 of info but its all the same info because of the ip addy.

% Information related to '0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255'
inetnum: 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255
netname: IANA-BLK
descr: The whole IPv4 address space

Thanks in advance for your time.

that means your IP does not belong to a network registered with RIPE

try whois.arin.net

for auto choosing whois server you could use [exec whois $t] (if you are not using windrop without cygwin) ^-^
