The primary responsibility for .org has moved, so most whois clients
are behind the times.  Try

: ; whois -h whois.publicinterestregistry.org vulnerable.org

I will see if i can update the whois wrapper i got from Steve VanDevender
and distribute it to EUG-LUG.

A note on the example syntax with the prompt as : ;
In VMS DCL, the default prompt is $ , dollarsign-space, which is a semantic
null in DCL.  As a consequence, a newbie can cut-and-paste the example

$ DEL *.*,*

prompt and all, and have it work as well as typing the command "del *.*,*"
I have taken to using ": ; " as a prompt in examples i type to achieve the
same effect, at least in Bourne-compatible *NIX shells.
