Always amazed at my tenacity to keep this domain name, now for 25 years. At a quarter century, and almost half my life, it’s become part of my identity. May as well get the logo tattooed on my arm.

I’m certain that if I ever let this domain go, it’ll be snatched up by porn SEO bots within hours. Can’t let them have all the fun.

Thanks for coming around.

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.

so is #WHOIS really on the way out? I read some article to that effect a week or so ago, and was wondering bc I just ran a query and it hung for a while before coming back.

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

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

#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.

As of 28 January 2025, the Registration #Data Access #Protocol #RDAP will be the definitive source for delivering generic top-level #domain name #gTLD registration information in place of sunsetted #WHOIS services. RDAP offers several advantages over WHOIS including support for internationalization, secure access to data, authoritative service discovery, and the ability to provide differentiated access to registration data. RDAP was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-update-launching-rdap-sunsetting-whois-27-01-2025-en

I'm going to change my domain registrar to something with free whois privacy and catch-all email forwarding. Anyone have an honorable #registrar to recommend?

For todays #ilovefreesoftwareday i want to thank the developers of #whois , #dig and #kdeconnect . Tools that work so great, use so often and don't want to miss.

I will be participating in a CircleID+Edgemoor Research:

ICANN wants to sunset #WHOIS, recommends use of its open source #RDAP command-line client:
https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-update-launching-rdap-sunsetting-whois-27-01-2025-en

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:

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

Curious about the future of domain registration data? Dive into the world of the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) and ICANN's goal to sunset Whois.

RDAP offers enhanced security, better data handling, and improved privacy compliance, especially with regulations like GDPR. Learn more about how RDAP is transforming the way we access domain information and why it's a game-changer for online anti-abuse work.
