I like Mr. Theriault's short answer, "no", however in many cases there are a number of ways to get closer to the phone number or actual contact associated with an IP address or range of IP addresses.... The first place to check is ARIN (www.arin.net), which will give you the ISP and sometimes the actual contact information. If in the ARIN response there's a line starting with something similar to "rwhois://rwhois.comast.net", then you can usually get more granular information about an IP subnet by either telnetting to the provided "rwhois" address and typing in the IP address in question, or simply plugging the number into Sam Spade's IP Whois tool, which will conduct the rwhois search automagically. (www.samspade.org) Googling the IP address in both Google web and Google groups will sometimes provide more information, such as an email address, which you can further investigate. Conducting an "nslookup" or "dig" will sometimes provide an additional domain name you can conduct a WHOIS on that will provide registration details. Hope this helps a little.... -a ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Audit your website security with Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner: Hackers are concentrating their efforts on attacking applications on your website.
