I just stumbled upon some thing extremely useful for me. Have you ever used whois and not gotten results because you were unsure what database to query? Does whois not return any info for new TLD (top level domnains)? i.e. (.us,.biz,.info). Well I just found a solution in the book "network security hacks". Its the very last hack and I never saw it before this morning.
Geektools actually has a whois proxy which will forward your whois request to the proper database. All you have to do is create a alias in the .bashrc file like this
alias whois='whois -h whois.geektools.com'
and then update your bash profile..
source ~/.bashrc
and now you are using the geektools proxy..
Code:
purehate@pwnsauce ~ $ whois remote-exploit.org
