How to Use Our Service: A Step-by-Step Guide

Our service provides a powerful interface for querying domain, IP, and AS (Autonomous System) information through RDAP. Whether you're an IT professional, a security researcher, or simply curious about a domain or IP, our service offers a straightforward way to gather detailed registration data and network information. This guide walks you through the key features of our platform, including how to search for domains, IPs, and AS numbers, and provides examples of each.

Understanding the Interface

The user interface of our service is designed to be intuitive and easy to navigate. It consists of a search bar where you can input domain names, IP addresses, or AS numbers. Once you enter your query, the system processes your request and displays relevant results in a clean, readable format. Below is a breakdown of the key components of the interface.

Search Bar

At the top of the page, you will find the search bar. This is where you can enter the query you want to investigate. You can search for:

• Domains (e.g., example.com)
• IP Addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1)
• AS Numbers (e.g., AS12345)

Simply type your query into the search bar and hit the search button or press enter to initiate the search.

Search Results

After submitting your query, the results page will appear. The results are organized into sections based on the type of information available:

• Domain Information: If you're searching for a domain, you'll see details such as the creation date, registrar, status, and more.
• IP Information: If you're searching for an IP address, you'll see data related to its geographical location, owner, and associated AS number.
• AS Information: If you're searching for an AS number, the results will show the name of the organization owning the AS, its associated IP ranges, and more.

Example 1: Searching for a Domain

To begin, let's walk through how to search for information about a domain. This can help you understand the history, ownership, and status of a domain before making any decisions, whether you're buying a domain, conducting a security investigation, or just curious.

Step 1: In the search bar, type the domain name you're interested in. For example, enter example.com.

Step 2: Press enter or click the search button. The system will return a list of results related to the domain example.com.

Step 3: Review the results, which may include the following details:

• Creation Date: The date when the domain was first registered.
• Registrar: The organization responsible for registering the domain.
• Status: Whether the domain is active, expired, or locked.
• Registrant Information: The owner of the domain (if not hidden by privacy protection).
• Registrar Abuse Contact: Contact details for reporting abuse related to the domain.

Example of Domain Information:

{
  "domain": "example.com",
  "creationDate": "1995-08-15",
  "registrar": "Example Registrar",
  "status": "active",
  "registrant": "Example Owner",
  "abuseContact": "[email protected]"
}

In this example, the domain example.com was created on August 15, 1995, and is currently active. The registrar is Example Registrar, and the abuse contact is [email protected]. This type of information is useful for verifying the legitimacy of a domain or investigating its history.

Example 2: Searching for an IP Address

Next, let’s explore how to search for an IP address. This can help you determine the geographic location, owner, and other associated details of the IP address.

Step 1: In the search bar, type the IP address you want to investigate, such as 192.168.1.1.

Step 2: Press enter or click the search button. The system will return the relevant information for that IP address.

Step 3: Review the details presented, which may include:

• Geographical Location: The country or city where the IP address is located.
• ISP (Internet Service Provider): The organization that owns or operates the IP address.
• Associated AS Number: The Autonomous System number associated with the IP.
• Contact Information: The organization’s contact details for network-related inquiries.

Example of IP Information:

{
  "ip": "192.168.1.1",
  "location": "United States",
  "isp": "Example ISP",
  "asn": "AS12345",
  "contact": "[email protected]"
}

In this case, the IP address 192.168.1.1 is located in the United States and is associated with Example ISP. The ASN (Autonomous System Number) is AS12345, and the contact email for inquiries is [email protected].

Example 3: Searching for an Autonomous System (AS) Number

If you're interested in finding information about a specific Autonomous System (AS), such as the organization that owns it or the IP ranges associated with it, the service allows you to search by AS number. This is especially useful when tracking down large-scale network infrastructures or investigating network-based threats.

Step 1: In the search bar, enter the AS number you're interested in, such as AS12345.

Step 2: Press enter or click the search button. The system will return results related to the AS number.

Step 3: Review the results, which typically include:

• Organization Name: The organization that owns the AS.
• IP Ranges: The IP address ranges that are associated with the AS.
• Contact Information: The organization’s contact details for AS-related inquiries.

Example of AS Information:

{
  "asn": "AS12345",
  "organization": "Example Org",
  "ipRanges": ["192.168.0.0/16", "10.0.0.0/8"],
  "contact": "[email protected]"
}

In this example, AS12345 is owned by Example Org, and the IP ranges associated with this AS are 192.168.0.0/16 and 10.0.0.0/8. The contact email for AS-related inquiries is [email protected].

Advanced Features and Filters

Our service also includes advanced search filters to help refine your queries. You can filter results based on specific fields, such as creation date, registrar, or geographical location. These filters can help you narrow down the results and focus on the most relevant information for your investigation or research.

Filtering by Date

You can filter domains by their creation or expiration date to find recently registered or expiring domains. This feature is useful for identifying suspicious domains or monitoring domain expiry for potential security risks.

Geographical Location Filter

For IP and AS searches, you can filter results based on geographic location, which can help you identify IP addresses or AS numbers located in specific countries or regions.

Conclusion

Using our service is simple and effective for researching domains, IP addresses, and AS numbers. With a user-friendly interface and powerful search functionality, you can quickly access detailed registration and network information. Whether you are verifying domain ownership, investigating a security incident, or exploring network infrastructures, our service provides the tools you need to gather relevant data and make informed decisions.
