Hi all,
I found a (minor) black list who blocks my new IP. They say to not even try to
ask for delisting unless I am the official owner of the IP. They observe that
"rwhois/SWIP is normally offered free of charge by most providers".
Sounds oldish, doesn't it? RDAP is working well, at least for numbers, and I
see no reason to mention rwhois, SWIP is mentioned in a 1993 RFC[*] in the
context of a move toward an "X.500 distributed database model". Where are we
now? I see ARIN has relatively recent blogs on that.[†]
My ISP says that registration is reserved to non-GPON "privileged fiber" whose
costs start at around 10x ordinary fares. How much does RIPE charge for
registering reassignments?
Why isn't it possible for end-user to claim IP "ownership"? If the IP database
were dependable, there wouldn't be so many site-verification TXT records in the
DNS.
I use RDAP to complain about network abuse, and the average response I get is
that they passed the complaint to their customer. Some times ISPs make
pressure on the customer to fix security leaks, so this seems good. In some
other cases, ISPs ignore complaints, whereas the operator might have been
interested. Alternatively, complaints might be sent in Cc: to national CERTs,
LEAs, AbuseIPDB, and the like.
Simple reassignments can be done without changing abuse-c. Does that still
imply any responsibility?
Best
Ale
