Where can I find a list of what the numerical internet addresses mean?
I'm talking about the string of numbers that identify an web address and shows the country and such of the folks that send me their spam and phishing attempts daily |

All I was looking for was to be able to identify country or origin to see where the phishing junk is coming from |

I'm talking about the string of numbers that identify an web address and shows the country and such of the folks that send me their spam and phishing attempts daily nslookup from a command prompt with that IP will tell you what it resolves to. Another approach would be to install the Netcraft Toolbar which, if you do get caught off-guard and navigate to a known phishing site, warns you right in the browser in an inmistakable way that you're not where you think you are. Traceroute (or tracert if you're on windows) to the IP and you can see that way as well. In reality, if you get a phish-looking email with an IP rather than a name, yeah, it's not legit. I've been using the Netcraft Toolbar; if it's one they don't know, I report it that way. Been a long time since I found one before they did, though. |

Seldom do the posted address and the real address match up. I'm just curious if there is some system of numbers that make it easy to spot when the site is in Niger or someother known location that hosts these people- say a number that means Niger or something.

All I was looking for was to be able to identify country or origin to see where the phishing junk is coming from My favorite is Whois Source, now known as www.DomainTools.com IP sourcing, DNS stuff, pings, traceroutes, domain sales, etc. Free but requires signup. (I haven't seen any spam from them at all, so I think it's just to weed out the email gleaners.) ================================================== ========= Save the Endangered Bouillons from being cubed! ================================================== ========= |

Something simple No such luck. You have to do an individual nslookup on each IP. Sometimes, you can get a good idea from the first octet (the numbers before the first '.'), but not always. Europe is handled by RIPE, and you'll find blocks of as small as 255 address (differing only in the last octet) assigned to vastly different countries. I use a program called "jwhois" in my unix system, though I had to compile that from source. A just plain "whois" comes with unix, but you often have to try two or three calls as it redirects you to different whois servers before you get a hit. "jwhois" automates that. Or -- you could do a lookup with geektools via the web, IIRC. (I use their whois server for when jwhois gets confused, which happens sometimes.) But I call it with whois, and if you don't have that, you'll need to go to the web-based approach. geektools puts a limit on the number of lookups per day from a given site, though I've never hit it (yet). Check out http://www.geektools.com They seem to have added a stumbling block for those trying to abuse it by automated systems, but it should work for you.
