Implementation of POEM object
by Arife Vural 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

Dear Colleagues, [Apologies for duplicates] Following discussions in the Database Working Group, we have made changes to the whois server software. These are the proposed changes: - Add a new object POETIC-FORM that will contain the supported poem types. - Add a new object POEM that will hold the poem itself. - Add a new attribute "form:" that shows the type of poem. There is more information about this below. You can find more details about the discussion at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2004/msg00246.html We expect to put a new whois server on line with new object support on 3 May 2005 at 16:00 CET. - Add a new POETIC-FORM object: The POETIC-FORM object contains information about the poem type. This is an example of a LIMERICK object: poetic-form: FORM-LIMERICK descr: Poem type for Limerick admin-c: AMR68-RIPE mnt-by: RIPE-DBM-MNT changed: ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net 20050429 source: RIPE These objects will be maintained by RIPE DBM. You can send new POETIC-FORM objects to <auto-dbm(a)ripe.net>. - Add a new POEM object: A POEM object is similar to the LIMERICK object. Unlike the LIMERICK object, it will have a "form:" attribute that contains information about the poem type. This is an example of a simple POEM object: poem: POEM-NT13-1 descr: RIPE24 dinner text: At a RIPE Meeting, held in Berlin, text: The meal was unusual, the din text: Of the two serenades text: Whose repertoire made us text: All smile and want to join in form: FORM-LIMERICK admin-c: LIM1-RIPE author: NT13 mnt-by: LIM-MNT changed: limerick-wg(a)ripe.net 19960529 source: RIPE Add a new "form:' attribute: The "form:" attribute indicates the type of poem. - Changes to the default whois query interface: There will be no changes to the whois query interface. - Data transition All existing LIMERICK objects will will be converted to POEM objects. LIMERICK objects will appear in the database for a while, but we will eventually delete them. Here is an example of a LIMERICK object: limerick: LIM-NT13-3 text: The document RIPE-104 text: Goes on longer than ever before text: If you want an address text: And your network's a mess text: Then Daniel will get very sore admin-c: LIM1-RIPE author: NT13 remarks: Great limerick, but the draft document RIPE-104++ remarks: is now called RIPE-136... mnt-by: LIM-MNT changed: limerick-wg(a)ripe.net 19960529 source: RIPE Here is how it will appear with new object types: poem: POEM-NT13-3 text: The document RIPE-104 text: Goes on longer than ever before text: If you want an address text: And your network's a mess text: Then Daniel will get very sore form: FORM-LIMERICK admin-c: LIM1-RIPE author: NT13 remarks: Great limerick, but the draft document RIPE-104++ remarks: is now called RIPE-136... mnt-by: LIM-MNT changed: limerick-wg(a)ripe.net 19960529 source: RIPE - Object templates Here is the template for the POEM object: poem: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] descr: [optional] [multiple] form: [mandatory] [single] [inverse key] text: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] author: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] POETIC-FORM object template is: poetic-form: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] descr: [optional] [multiple] [ ] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] Regards, Arife Vural RIPE NCC, SED

Changes for abuse
by Shane Kerr 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC has implemented the proposed changes to the Whois server software. We will put the new software into production on Wednesday, 2005-04-27. ***************************************************************** These changes alter the default output of the Whois server. If you need the old output, you can get it by using the "-B" and "-G" flags, like this: whois -B -G 193.0.1.17 ***************************************************************** The current implementation is different from the original proposal in this way: - INETNUM and INET6NUM object types will *not* have the "abuse-mailbox:" attribute added. The reason for not adding the "abuse-mailbox:" attribute to the INETNUM and INET6NUM object types is that there was no consensus to add these. Some people supported it and some people did not. It is easier to add attributes than to delete them. Anyone in favour of adding this attribute can attempt to create consensus within the Database Working Group. We have also implemented the proposal to change the order of objects in query results. A revised proposal is attached. As well as the above change: - It explicitly states that "trouble:" will be deprecated. - Some templates and examples were not correct, and have been fixed. -- Shane Kerr Software Manager RIPE NCC The changes we propose are: o To hide attributes that contain e-mail addresses in the default output of queries. We will also provide an option to disable this feature, o To add a new "abuse-mailbox:" attribute to PERSON, ROLE, IRT, MNTNER, and ORGANISATION objects, o To provide an option to display only key attributes and abuse contacts, o To change the IRT object template so that the "signature:" and "encryption:" attributes are no longer mandatory, o To change the behaviour of the '-c' switch in whois queries. We will announce the changes on our website. We will also contact any third-party software developers who rely on the RIPE Database for abuse contact information. You can read the minutes from the Database Working Group discussion at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2004/msg00469.html (1) Adding the "abuse-mailbox:" Attribute We will add a new attribute to the following object types: PERSON ROLE IRT ORGANISATION MNTNER This optional attribute will contain at least one e-mail address. It will tell users where to send abuse complaints or queries. (The proposed templates for the above objects are at the end of this document.) The description of the new attribute will be the same in all objects: abuse-mailbox: Specifies the e-mail address to which abuse complaints should be sent. An e-mail address as defined in RFC 2822. There is currently a "trouble:" attribute in ROLE objects, which contains free text. We will update ROLE objects, so that any ROLE object that has a "trouble:" attribute that is an e-mail address as defined in RFC 2822, will be copied to the "abuse-mailbox:" attribute. Any other "trouble:" attributes will be converted to "remarks:". The "trouble:" attribute will be deprecated. As an example, see the following: role: Example Role address: Example Address phone: +11 22 33445 fax-no: +11 22 33445 e-mail: info(a)example.com admin-c: TEST1-RIPE tech-c: TEST1-RIPE trouble: Please contact trouble: abuse(a)example.com trouble: for abuse reports, not info(a)example.com nic-hdl: TESTROLE1-RIPE changed: info(a)example.com 20050101 source: RIPE We will replace this with: role: Example Role address: Example Address phone: +11 22 33445 fax-no: +11 22 33445 e-mail: info(a)example.com admin-c: TEST1-RIPE tech-c: TEST1-RIPE remarks: "trouble:" converted on 2005mmdd remarks: Please contact abuse-mailbox: abuse(a)example.com remarks: for abuse reports nic-hdl: TESTROLE1-RIPE changed: info(a)example.com 20050101 source: RIPE (2) Hiding Attributes That Contain E-Mail Addresses Finding the right e-mail address for abuse reports can be confusing. There is currently no easy way to find this information in the RIPE Database. Users often send mail to every e-mail address they see in a query result. To avoid this, we will hide all attributes that contain e-mail addresses from the default output of a whois query for an address. When a user looks up an address, the results may include the following objects: INETNUM INET6NUM ROUTE ROUTE6 ORGANISATION PERSON ROLE By default, MNTNER objects are not shown, but they are often also queried to get contact information. For each of the object types, the following attributes contain e-mail addresses: INETNUM: notify, changed INET6NUM: notify, changed ROUTE: notify, changed ROUTE6: notify, changed ORGANISATION: e-mail, notify, changed PERSON: e-mail, notify, changed ROLE: e-mail, trouble, notify, changed For each address range returned, if there is at least one "abuse-mailbox:" attribute in any of the returned objects, the attributes mentioned above will be removed from the output. If there is no "abuse-mailbox:" attribute, only "notify:" and "changed:" attributes will be filtered out. If an attribute of an object is changed, a comment will be added, to avoid confusion. Users can turn off this suppression. To make this possible, we will implement a '-B' flag. As an example: $ whois 10.0.0.10 Might currently give the following result: inetnum: 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.0.255 netname: HOME-NETWORK descr: Home Network country: ZZ admin-c: ME1-RIPE tech-c: ME1-RIPE status: ALLOCATED PI mnt-by: I-MNT changed: ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net 20050101 source: RIPE person: Me Myself and I address: Home Alone phone: +11 22 33445 fax-no: +11 22 33445 e-mail: ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net nic-hdl: ME1-RIPE mnt-by: I-MNT changed: ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net 20050101 source: RIPE After the change, the result will be: % Note: this output has been filtered. inetnum: 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.0.255 netname: HOME-NETWORK descr: Home Network country: ZZ admin-c: ME1-RIPE tech-c: ME1-RIPE status: ALLOCATED PI mnt-by: I-MNT source: RIPE person: Me Myself and I address: Home Alone phone: +11 22 33445 fax-no: +11 22 33445 nic-hdl: ME1-RIPE mnt-by: I-MNT source: RIPE To see the unmodified result, users should type in: $ whois -B 10.0.0.10 (3) Adding 'abuse output' Option To help authors of tools or users who are only interested in the abuse contacts for IP addresses, we will implement a brief output mode. If a user types '-b' when querying the RIPE Database, they will only see the key attributes of address ranges and the "abuse-mailbox:" attribute. This switch will also imply '-c', which requests first level less specific INETNUM or INET6NUM objects with the "mnt-irt:" attribute. It will only work with address space related queries. Here is an example: $ whois 10.0.0.0 Returns: inetnum: 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.0.255 netname: HOME-NETWORK descr: Home Network country: ZZ admin-c: ME1-RIPE tech-c: ME1-RIPE status: ALLOCATED PI mnt-by: I-MNT mnt-irt: IRT-I changed: ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net 20050101 source: RIPE person: Me Myself and I address: Home Alone phone: +11 22 33445 fax-no: +11 22 33445 e-mail: ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net nic-hdl: ME1-RIPE mnt-by: I-MNT changed: ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net 20050101 abuse-mailbox: ripe-dbm-person(a)ripe.net source: RIPE So: $ whois -b 10.0.0.0 Will return: % Note: this output has been filtered. % Only primary keys and abuse contact will be visible. inetnum: 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.0.255 e-mail: ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net e-mail: ripe-dbm-person(a)ripe.net This output will not generate valid objects, and there will be no object separators. If two ranges are returned after making a query, an object separator will be inserted between groupings. Therefore, the output will look like this: inetnum: 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.0.255 e-mail: ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net e-mail: ripe-dbm-person(a)ripe.net (*) inetnum: 10.0.1.0 - 10.0.0.255 e-mail: ripe-dbm-person-2(a)ripe.net (*) Attributes marked by (*) are taken from the person object retrieved by a recursive lookup. (4) Modifications on the IRT Object We will change the template for the IRT object will be changed. You will no longer need a KEY-CERT object to create an IRT object. Currently, the template for the IRT object is: irt: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] address: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] phone: [optional] [multiple] [ ] fax-no: [optional] [multiple] [ ] e-mail: [mandatory] [multiple] [lookup key] signature: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] encryption: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] org: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] tech-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] auth: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] irt-nfy: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] "signature:" and "encryption:" attributes need existing key-cert objects. The Anti-spam Working Group asked us to make these objects optional. You can read an archive of this discussion at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2004/msg00452.html The template for irt objects will be: irt: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] address: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] phone: [optional] [multiple] [ ] fax-no: [optional] [multiple] [ ] e-mail: [mandatory] [multiple] [lookup key] signature: [optional] [multiple] [ ] encryption: [optional] [multiple] [ ] org: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] tech-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] auth: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] irt-nfy: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] Therefore, the object below would be valid: irt: irt-someorg-zz address: address for the irt phone: +11 22 3344556 fax-no: +11 22 3344556 e-mail: contact(a)example.com admin-c: CONTACT1-RIPE tech-c: CONTACT1-RIPE auth: CRYPT-PW XXXXXXXXXXXXX mnt-by: mnt-someorg changed: someone(a)example.com 20050101 source: RIPE We will automate this process, so that help from the RIPE Database Management will no longer be necessary create IRT objects. (5) Changing the behaviour of '-c' option in whois queries Currently, the -c option requests first level less specific INETNUM or INET6NUM objects with the "mnt-irt:" attribute. It does not return any related IRT objects. This will change, so that -c will treat IRT objects as contacts and do recursive lookups on related IRT objects. Here is an example: $ whois -c 10.0.0.0 Returns: inetnum: 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.0.255 netname: TEST-NET descr: Test Net country: ZZ admin-c: TEST1-RIPE tech-c: TEST1-RIPE status: ASSIGNED PA mnt-by: TEST-MNT mnt-irt: IRT-TEST changed: info(a)example.com 20050101 source: RIPE person: TEST1-RIPE . . After the change, the result will be: inetnum: 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.0.255 netname: TEST-NET descr: Test Net country: ZZ admin-c: TEST1-RIPE tech-c: TEST1-RIPE status: ASSIGNED PA mnt-by: TEST-MNT mnt-irt: IRT-TEST changed: info(a)example.com 20050101 source: RIPE person: TEST1-RIPE . . irt: IRT-TEST . . (6) Modified Templates inetnum: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] netname: [mandatory] [single] [lookup key] descr: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] country: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] org: [optional] [single] [inverse key] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] tech-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] rev-srv: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] status: [mandatory] [single] [ ] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-lower: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-domains: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-routes: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-irt: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] inet6num: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] netname: [mandatory] [single] [lookup key] descr: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] country: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] org: [optional] [single] [inverse key] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] tech-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] rev-srv: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] status: [mandatory] [single] [ ] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-lower: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-routes: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-domains: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-irt: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] person: [mandatory] [single] [lookup key] address: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] phone: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] fax-no: [optional] [multiple] [ ] e-mail: [optional] [multiple] [lookup key] abuse-mailbox: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] ** org: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] nic-hdl: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] role: [mandatory] [single] [lookup key] address: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] phone: [optional] [multiple] [ ] fax-no: [optional] [multiple] [ ] e-mail: [mandatory] [multiple] [lookup key] trouble: [optional] [multiple] [ ] abuse-mailbox: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] ** org: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] tech-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] nic-hdl: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] irt: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] address: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] phone: [optional] [multiple] [ ] fax-no: [optional] [multiple] [ ] e-mail: [mandatory] [multiple] [lookup key] abuse-mailbox: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] ** signature: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] encryption: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] org: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] tech-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] auth: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] irt-nfy: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] organisation: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] org-name: [mandatory] [single] [lookup key] org-type: [mandatory] [single] [ ] descr: [optional] [multiple] [ ] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] address: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] phone: [optional] [multiple] [ ] fax-no: [optional] [multiple] [ ] e-mail: [mandatory] [multiple] [lookup key] abuse-mailbox: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] ** org: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] admin-c: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] tech-c: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] ref-nfy: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-ref: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] mntner: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] descr: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] org: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] tech-c: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] abuse-mailbox: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] ** upd-to: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-nfy: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] auth: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] referral-by: [mandatory] [single] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] Rows that are marked with '**' are additions to the templates.

RIPE Whois Server version 3.3.0
by Can Bican 25 May '05

25 May '05

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce the release of version 3.3.0 of the RIPE Whois server. Major changes to the software include the following: o People upgrading from 3.2.0 need to read the file UPDATE-DB-3.3.0. o The source tree has heavily been modified; build system now makes full use of autoconf/automake. o We have added new options to the configure script. You can choose RPSL variants during configure by using --with-rpslvariant. You can turn RDNS off or on by using the --with-rdns option. o The LIMERICK object type has been upgraded to more the general POEM and POETIC-FORM object types. You can find a complete description of this change at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2005/msg00073.html o We have added a Reverse DNS registry checking mechanism. Since this is a specialised requirement for the software, it is initially turned off by default. o We have included a Perl RPSL library in the distribution. o We have implemented abuse mailbox changes, by adding a few new query options and changes to the default output. You can see a full list of changes at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2005/msg00057.html o We have changed the name of the server binary: whois_rip is now whois-server. o We have included the ORGANISATION object type. o We have included RPSL-NG facilities in the main branch of the software. This conforms to the RFC at: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/rfc/rfc4012.txt o IRT and MNTNER object creation is now automatic. o dbupdate is now x-509 aware, along with the related KEY-CERT objects. You can find more information on the implementation at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2003/msg00144.html You can download this release by anonymous FTP from the following URL: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/whoisserver-3.3.0.tar.gz You can also check out the release from CVS, which includes test cases, using the following CVS commands: cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.ripe.net:/cvsroot login cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.ripe.net:/cvsroot co -r \ release_3_3_0 whoisserver If you have any questions, please contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>.

abuse-mailbox
by Philippe Bourcier 24 May '05

24 May '05

Hi, I'm the author of the CyberAbuse whois, which is a tool that catches the "most suitable" abuse contact email for a specific IP/host by searching in the RIRs whois result. It's security and network abuse oriented... it's used in many CERTs or IRTs. I understand there's a new (and long waited for) abuse-mailbox field that my program should catch in the RIPE db. I'd like to know what would you recommend as the behavior for catching the "best possible" abuse-contact in the RIPE db. Here is how the cyberabuse whois used to work (for RIPE) : 1 - search for an IRT object (mnt-irt), if one exist, go catch the associated e-mail 2 - search for an email in all the remarks/trouble/descr fields with the abuse/security/cert/csirt string in it 3 - search for the admin-c's email, if any 4 - search for the tech-c's, if any 5 - search for the first email found I think I'm going to add a search for the abuse-mailbox field between (1) and (2). Is this how you would do it ? Any other comments/suggestions ? Sincerely, Philippe Bourcier
