That would be nice, wouldn't it? There's two reasons I don't do that. One is that unlike domains, there's no sensible default for unknown addresses. (Most ASNs have good contact info in the RIRs, but some don't, and a fair number particularly in Asia are so tiny that they really need the reports sent to the next one up.) The other is that I can barely keep up with the updates for domain names, and there's no way I could do IPs without a major rewrite and a bunch of trustworthy volunteers to share the load. >Perhaps abuse.net could include links to: > >http://www.cymru.com/BGP/asnlookup.html >http://www.completewhois.com/ >http://www.routeviews.org/ >etc. Most abuse.net users barely have figured out that the From: line is not always the right place to find the address to complain to.
