Subject: Incorrect abuse contacts for certain address ranges
Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2011 10:23:49 +0200
To: bug-Net-Abuse-Utils [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Martin Drasar <drasar [...] ics.muni.cz>
Hello, I have spotted a problem when trying to get an abuse contact for some addresses and I am not sure if this is a problem of Net::Abuse::Utils or the underlying Net::Whois::IP. A typical example can be the 147.251.0.0/16. ARIN is maintaining the 147.0.0.0/8 range, but a specific range 147.250.0.0 - 147.252.255.255 is maintained by RIPE. When calling the get_ipwi_contacts I get @arin.net addresses instead of abuse@muni.cz which would be the correct behaviour. (Commandline whois client also struggles with this one and returns correct results only after being manually forced to use RIPE server.) Is there something you could do about this in your code? Or should I try and contact te author of Net::Whois::IP? Thank you. Martin Environment: Linux rt 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Thu Sep 16 19:35:51 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux perl, v5.10.0 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi Net::Abuse::Utils v0.11 Net::Whois::IP v1.10
Thanks for the ticket. My apologies for the delay in acknowledgement. I'll look into implementing a work around which recognizes the case and does something more appropriate. Unfortunately I'm not sure how quickly I will be able to get to it. Mike

Thanks again for your report. Will finally have time to work on this this weekend. Mike
