Net::Abuse::Utils - Routines useful for processing network abuse
This documentation refers to Net::Abuse::Utils version 0.11.
use Net::Abuse::Utils qw( :all );
print "IP Whois Contacts: ", join( ' ', get_ipwi_contacts($ip) ), "\n";
print "Abuse.net Contacts: ", get_abusenet_contact($domain), "\n";
Net::Abuse::Utils provides serveral functions useful for determining information about an IP address including contact/reporting addresses, ASN/network info, reverse dns, and DNSBL listing status.
The following functions are exportable from this module. You may import all of them into your namespace with the :all tag.
Returns a list containing (ASN, Network/Mask, CC code, RIR, modified date) for the network announcing IP.
Returns the AS description for ASN.
Similiar to get_as_description but attempts to clean it up some before returning it.
Returns the SOA contact email address for the reverse DNS /24 zone containing IP.
Returns a list of all email addresses found in whois information for IP with duplicates removed.
Returns the reverse PTR for IP.
Returns the listing text for IP for the designated DNSBL. DNSBL zone should be the zone used for looking up addresses in the blocking list.
Returns the 2 letter country code for IP.
Returns the 2 letter country code for ASN.
Returns the abuse.net listed contact email addresses for domain.
Returns true if IP looks like an IP, false otherwise.
Takes a hostname and attempts to return the domain name.
Each subroutine will return undef if unsuccessful. In the furture, debugging output will be available.
There are two commented out lines that can be uncommented to enable Memoize support. I haven't yet decided whether to include this option by default. It may be made available in the future via an import flag to use.
This module makes use of the following modules:
Net::DNS, Net::Whois::IP, Email::Address
