With all this talk of tracing attacks I just noticed that
whois -h whois.arin.net
seems to not be as informative as it used to be.
When looking up various ASN I sometimes get the information I want,
but frequently I get:
Sorry, you shouldn't see this record.
or
No match for ASN "..."
(Sample ASes are 2855, 5400, 9057, 11486)
Did I miss some policy change?
-mark
P.S. Fortunately, various radb-like entities still list
information for a lot of ASes.
