Tool: SmartWhois

SmartWhois is a network information utility that allows the user to find all the available information about an IP address, hostname, or domain, including country, state or province, city, name of the network provider, administrator and technical support contact information.

Unlike standard Whois utilities, SmartWhois can find the information about a computer located in any part of the world, intelligently querying the right database and delivering all the related records in a short time. The program can retrieve information from more than 20 servers all over the world. SmartWhois can also save obtained information to an archive file. This is particularly useful in tracking incidents and incident handling. It allows users to load this archive the next time the program is launched and add more information to it. Thus, the list is updated on a regular basis. This feature allows building and maintaining a user defined database of IP addresses and hosting names. Alternatively, users can also load a list of IP addresses as a text file and have SmartWhois process the whole list. SmartWhois is available for download at www.tamos.com SmartWhois is capable of performing both IP address/hostname and domain name queries. TamoSoft, Inc. also hosts a tools interface at http://all-nettools.com/tools1.htm
