Unfortunately I've been the target of a DDoS attack. The attackers are abusing DNS services of others. I'd like to email the owners of these DNS services, but I don't want to manually run 500+ whois lookups. Is there a way / script to automate this (getting the abuse email address based on the IP address)? If necessary I will write one myself but I'd prefer to use a proper solution.

There's a perl script called abuseEmail that should do what you want. It's at http://abuseemail.sourceforge.net/ .

Well, it's been a while since I did email abuse work, which shows... There are also a lot of tools at www.spamhaus.org, but I'm not sure if they have anything that can be used in a script.– Jenny DMar 13, 2013 at 12:39

4Just because a tool is old doesn't mean it doesn't do the job well. The wheel was invented a long time ago - we don't need to reinvent it just because it is old.– dunxdMar 13, 2013 at 13:36

True, dunxd. DNS hasn't really changed that much in the past 12 years. The tool might possibly have problems once the new TLDs kick in, but that's still a few months off.– Jenny DMar 13, 2013 at 16:44
