💖 IP-INFO(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual for ip-info — yes that's the manual name, we're being ✨official✨ today 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ip-info — query whois, AS, DNSBL and other network data in one go 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ip-info <IP address>

that's it. one argument. one IP. slay 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so ip-info is a script, and what it does is query whois, AS, peering and DNSBL entries for a given IP address — and yes, that IP can be IPv4 or IPv6, we do not discriminate, we love all address families here 🫶

it is especially helpful if you're tracking down external network abusers. like, the way that it pulls all that intel in one go?? it's giving detective main character energy fr fr 🔍👑

and here's the cute part: it's the example script for the Perl module Net::Abuse::Utils, which means all of its functionality is also available as a Perl library. so if you wanna do this in code instead of from the command line, you absolutely can, no cap 💜
