Gentlemen,

I am trying to implement an automatic nastygram delivery script for an intrusion detection system. I have been examining Net::Whois::Arin because it gives me information based upon IP addresses, which the IDS maintains for all events.

The problem is that Net::Whois::Arin does not provide an interface to ARIN's OrgAbuseEmail, if it even exists for that entry.

I was considering using Net::Whois::ARIN in combination with Net::Whois to ascertain a contact email address to send a canned C&D letter, but I was curious as to other people's thoughts before proceeding.

Update:Here is some code to go with that, and combine it with Snort data_payload decoding ;)

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Net::Whois;
use Net::Whois::Arin;
use Carp;

my $ip = shift;
my ($domain, $isp);

my $w = Net::Whois::ARIN->new(
                host => 'whois.arin.net',
                port => 43,
                timeout => 30 );

my @output = $w->network($ip);

foreach my $r (@output){
        if($r->NameServer){
                $isp = sprintf("%s", $r->NameServer);
                my $w = new Net::Whois::Domain $isp
                        or die "Cannot Connect to WHOIS server!\n";
                unless( $w->ok ) { croak "No match for $company\n"; }

                print "Domain: ", $w->domain, "\n";
                } else { next; }
        }

exit;
