WhoIS Report
Really fascinating project came through Spiceworks the other day and I wanted to talk about it. In the DNS forum someone posted that they needed a tool to lookup certain WhoIs information. The interesting part was they had over 1000 domains so they needed something that could create a report on that kind of scale, so a simple WhoIs website or application wasn’t going to cut it. But as I looked at it, I began to wonder if this was something I could pull off with PowerShell? I knew there would be no problem once I had the data, but the trick would be getting the data. But surely there was a RESTful API out there for WhoIs data, right? If I could find that then a simple Invoke-RestMethod should retrieve the data necessary and we’re good to go. Right?

You know, it’s funny how projects sometimes grow from something very small and become something quite different. This is a story about exactly that.
