Background

This plugin performs network lookups via bgp.tools using the whois protocol, as documented at https://bgp.tools/kb/api. All data provided is best-effort; allocation dates are particularly flaky (often 0001-01-01).

Changelog

0.2.0

Simplified commands: .asn now handles ASNs, IPv4, and IPv6.

Using bgp.tools as backend instead of Team Cymru's DNS interface. Peer lookup (.asnp command) is sadly no longer supported.

There is a new .mac command to look up the vendor (OUI) of hardware MAC addresses, however.

0.1.0

First release of sopel-asn.
