Python : Create Whois client or function example
Adding this Python tutorial as a supplement for my previous tutorial on how to implement Golang whois client.
Whois a network utility to find out "who is" the owner behind a domain name. Some owners will display all the private information such as personal home address, mobile/cell phone numbers and while some will choose to protect their privacy.
Here is an example on how to implement whois query in Python :
import sys
import socket
def whois(domainName, server):
# dial to whois server port 43
conn = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
conn.connect((server, 43))
# send query over conn
conn.send((domainName + "\r\n").encode())
result = b""
while True:
buf = conn.recv(1024)
result += buf
if not buf:
break
conn.close()
return result
result = whois("socketloop.com", "com.whois-servers.net")
print(result.decode())
Hope this helps!
