Get Extended IP Address Data
Question:
Is there a way to perform a lookup on an ip address in Winbatch? I would be interested more in information returned from an arin lookup, specifically country of origin, etc. This seems to be something i would derive from a publicly available version of a lookup registry's query service but i don't know. I looked at ipaddr2host and other functions in the WWIPG34I extender but these seem to be more involved with local ip address resolution like just local host name to ip.For anyone not familiar with what i mean... info like this:
IP Address : 210.177.x.x [ 210.177.x.x ] ISP : PCCW Business Internet Access Organization : UNITED DAILY NEWS HK BUREAU LTD Location : HK HK, Hong Kong City : -, - -
Answer:
No built in function that does that kind of lookup. I found a website called ShowMyIp that can lookup the informtaion for an external IP address. http://www.showmyip.com/lookups/ It apparently allows up to 10000 Lookups per day for unregistered users on our showmyip.com web site. Looks like you have to be a subscripber inorder to get some of the information such as ISP.Here is some WinBatch code that can lookup and external ipAddress and grab the country name.
ipaddr = '66.94.231.98'
site = 'http://www.showmyip.com/xml/?ip=' : ipaddr
XMLHTTP = CreateObject( 'Msxml2.XMLHTTP' )
XMLHTTP.Open("GET", site, @false)
XMLHTTP.Send("")
;Pause("Response", XMLHTTP.responseText)
xmlDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlDoc.async = @false
xmlDoc.loadXML(XMLHTTP.responseText)
root = xmlDoc.documentElement
countryList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("lookup_country")
country = countryList.item(0).firstChild.nodeValue
Message( ipaddr, 'Country: ':country )
Exit
