From: <casey@justice.usdoj.gov> I am looking for a list of all the Internet Service Providers world-wide. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Hmm... This person doesn't seem to realize the size of the internet, or it's decentralized nature. I wouldn't worry about this guy. Even if such a list existed, he wouldn't know what to do with it. "C:\>type isplist.txt"... heheh... :) (Yes, I know some people compile lists of ISPs, but those lists cover only the tip of the iceburg. And yes, I also know that the root nameservers have massive databases, but they don't provide much info beyond the domain names and IP addresses.) ====================================================================== | Steve Reid - SysAdmin & Pres, EDM Web (http://www.edmweb.com/) | | Email: steve@edmweb.com Home Page: http://www.edmweb.com/steve/ | | PGP (2048/9F317269) Fingerprint: 11C89D1CD67287E6 8C09EC52443F8830 | | -- Disclaimer: JMHO, YMMV, IANAL. -- | ====================================================================:)
