I can't believe no one answered this yet. whois. As in 'whois ip.ad.dr.ess' . Most linux distributions have a whois client either already included or available via a package. dig (the successor of nslookup) may also be useful. Do 'dig -x ip.ad.dr.ess' to get a reverse lookup. Then do 'whois domain.part'. Whois offers a log of options for finding out information. traceroute.org may be of interest too depending on how much digging you need to do. There are alternate traceroute clients which can pull Autonomous System numers (BGP) and you can feed those into traceroute as well. > > --- Bill LeBlanc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Would not a traceroute at least give you a hint? >> >> Bill >> >> At 08:52 AM 5/29/04, John Hebert wrote: >> >I realize that I won't be able to find the actual >> user >> >of the IP address in most cases, but how would I >> find >> >out who manages the IP address, ie; the ISP? >> > >> >Say I have an IP address I wish to find out more >> >information about; how would I determine which ISP >> >provided that IP address to that user or computer >> >owner? >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> General mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net > > > > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Friends.
