Is it possible to do a reverse whois?

**Alex** · 10-16-2004, 11:04 AM

Ive tried it before.
I dont think you can, but it would be helpful. I have so many domains registered in my name i know that i probably forgot about a few.

**Fake Nick** · 10-16-2004, 11:07 AM

wel, you use your domain as your nick , so it isn't really hard to figure out what sites you run ,

I can do it for a $10 fee per NAME lookup.

**Steen2** · 10-16-2004, 11:16 AM

Requires:

1) a sample domain(s)
2) the name used in whois as "owner contact"
OR
name used as "admin" contact

**Serge Litehead** · 10-16-2004, 11:17 AM

unles they have access to registrars dbs its not possible

back in late 90's it was possible to search NetSol whois by name and see what domains that name has registered, this service was discontinued a while ago.

Ever heard of zone files?

Didn't think so.

ICQ me where, never heard of that before.

**UniqueMovies** · 10-16-2004, 11:24 AM

Well the only way to stop this is to change my contact info for my domains.

Do you have any idea how much space each zone file is? Try recording all changes across all domain names. Not an easy task.

**Serge Litehead** · 10-16-2004, 11:33 AM

what about zone files? they have only domain names, ip's and NS info in them.

**UniqueMovies** · 10-16-2004, 11:33 AM

Plus I only own a few domains so my file would be small.

whois.sc does it on a nice number of domains like millions of em now

You don't download one file, you download the entire file, published twice a day. This doesn't include whois info, just domain name, status etc.

You have to then retrieve the whois info of each name.

No reverse lookup by owner.

**EscortBiz** · 10-16-2004, 11:36 AM

my point was they record million of changes

PI's use netsol to search by owner

**sacX** · 10-16-2004, 11:38 AM

The answer is it's unlikely. It's not impossible though.

Netsol doesn't offer this service that I am aware of.

and ATT doesnt offer a service where you can search by name what cell phone a guy uses

and nextel doesnt offer a service where you can search by name or cell number a guys nextel ID

but PI's get it all day long

So I can assume they only way they can find out what domains I own is if they hired a PI.

I wouldin't doubt thats what they did.

**UniqueMovies** · 10-16-2004, 11:45 AM

hmm.. well these guys are complete noobs.

**arg** · 10-16-2004, 12:06 PM

Perhaps you divulged some other details, like what hosting company you use (sometimes that's enough), or mentioned a site where you advertise, or a google placement you have, or they saw a domain-related referral code on a checkstub, or something like that? There are other ways to reverse engineer a person's business model than through whois. If they weren't noobs, they could also do a lot if they had access to your network.

Is it possible that they're just saying they have you all figured out, but really don't? Like have they actually told you what they know? Maybe they're just messing with you.

Is it possible to do a reverse whois?
