 Okay, today's video is going to be a video on, it's going to be a quick little tip on different ways of finding out the location of an IP address. So you have someone's IP address or a server's IP address and you're wondering where is this located in the world. Now before I begin, I know a lot of people are going to be like, oh there's plenty of websites you can go to and you can type in IP addresses, like I'm just going to make one up here, I can go to like 2222, see if that one works. Yeah, that one's in France. Some of these web pages will give you the map as well of the location. And of course there is whois.com, which if we went there and typed in 2.2.2.2 or whatever IP address is and say search, it will probably give you the whois information or not. Maybe whois.org, whois.net, let's see 2.2.2.2. Go, there we go. It'll bring up the whois information. And of course most of you will probably know that you can do whois from the command line, which is probably how a lot of you use it. So whois 2.2.2.2 and we get the whois information here. And of course you can see what country France right there and who owns it, whether it's a company or a person, the address they put in when they bought that server and of course you can use server names other than just IP addresses. And I'm like a lot of you probably already know all this, but I ran across a little application today, so I just thought I'd throw it out there, show you guys this. It should be in your repository if you aptitude search GOIP. One of the options is GOIP-BIN. So you can see, aptitude tells me right there I have an I, so it's installed already. Once that's installed, part of that package is GOIP lookup. And if you type that in with 2.2.2.2 or whatever IP address, it just breaks it down for you a little bit cleaner and gives you the country that it's in. So although whois is usually installed by default and this application is not, and you can always grep through whois. I just saw this and I thought it was neat the way that just gave a little simple output there. Especially since who is in most cases, at least from what I've seen, just gives you the abbreviation for the country and of course FR is France. But maybe you don't know what some country's abbreviation is. You don't get some weird abbreviation, you don't have to try to figure it out. But GOIP lookup gives you the full country name. And I just thought I'd give you that little quick tip there. We can do another one if you'd like. Let's do 3.3.3.3 and hit enter. That's the United States. Let's just type in something random like 63, 243, 13, 123. And that one's in the US as well. And of course you can do the whois with any of these and get even more information on who owns it. So that's a GOIP lookup. I just found it interesting. Probably won't use it myself too much. Probably would use whois in regards to like the difference between that and using a site like this is, you know, if you're writing a script, this site's not going to help you much. Unless you're going to W get stuff and pass it information. Always easier just to use it from the tools you have. So I thank you for watching. This is just a simple little quick tip. Interesting. I don't know if anyone's ever going to actually use this. But thank you for watching. Visit my site FilmsByChris.com. That's Chris of the K. There's a link in the description to my website.
