Thanks! I'm wondering whether there are some public APIs for this function On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 12:53 PM, Martin Visser <martinvisser99 () gmail com>wrote:
In Wireshark, it uses DNS or what ever you manually have written in the "ethers" or "hosts" file. Whois only shows assignments from the various Internet Registries. You can of course infer names (say looking at the "Host:" header in a HTTP request) but this isn't done. Unfortunately their is no magic to do this.

I need such a function which can convert an IP address to the host name precisely. With linux command "whois", the result is very coarse. Can anyone tell how wireshark did the conversion and can I write some scripts or a small program to do this? I mean the input is an IP address while the output is a host name or URL, Thanks! ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org ?subject=unsubscribe___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
