Obtaining the address of a LIR for an object
Hi, how can I obtain the physical address of the LIR which created a database object (or which created the entity that created an object, recursively)? Thanks, Florian
Hi Florian, except for the well known whois DB, here you have LIRs listed by country: http://www.ripe.net/membership/indices/index.html Address/phone/fax info seems to be available with each LIR on the list. Cheers, Martin On Thu, Apr 05, 2007 at 02:55:04PM +0200, Florian Weimer wrote:

Thanks. But what shall I do when the name in the mnt-by: object doesn't match any of the listed companies?

True, that's hard to correlate. I'd try to find an object connected to an IP resource (inetnum, inet6num, route, route6, aut-num) holding the same mnt-by value with help of an inverse query. whois -h whois.ripe.net '-T inetnum -r -i mnt-by MAINTAINER' whois -h whois.ripe.net '-T aut-num -r -i mnt-by MAINTAINER' Though, there is a possibility a particular maintainer object has been introduced into whois DB be a non-LIR entity.

and (if one is lucky) getting also an org atribute in response. Martin PS pardon me the self-from-to db-help list contribution

But then there would be a suitable changed: line, wouldn't it? Does RIPE NCC provide the data upon formal request from the relevant authorities?

Well, changed attribute is manadatory so there should be at least one for every maintainer object returned. Nowadays, one has to use '-B' whois switch to get back the changed atribute: # whois -h whois.ripe.net '-h' ... % -B Disables the filtering of "notify:", "changed:" and "e-mail:" % attributes. ... AFAIK it's technically possible to replace the original changed atribute provided you are able to pass one of the objects' mnt-by maintainer check (password/signature). This is something one shouldn't do - original changed atribute value should be kept.

Don't have any experience so can't comment on this. I expect archive whould contain at least the original submission requesting the maintainer object creation and also the subsequent modifications. Martin

Yeah, but if you want to put bogus data into the database, you can apparently use this feature to cover your tracks. *sigh*

Would anyone from RIPE please answer this question?
