@realcaseyrollins IRC no federate
@kzimmermann @realcaseyrollins I was fooled when I 1st checked the IP of #libera.chat because my own script just checks who the ASN owner is (#Fastly in this case). But ipinfo.io shows that although Fastly owns that IP block, the org is #Github. Can anyone explain that? Does it mean that Github hired Fastly, and that Fastly allocated a block of their own to serve Github?
@realcaseyrollins @kzimmermann Does it also mean that MS #Github favors #Fastly over its own dogfood (MS #Azure)?
@kzimmermann @realcaseyrollins I need to work out how to smarten my script, and i hope the answer is not to scrape ipinfo.io for every website i'm digging dirt on.
@resist1984 I don't know how it would work for every website I'd need to consult, but in case of Libera:
$ ping libera.chat
PING libera.chat (185.199.109.153): 56 data bytes
Then a quick search for said IP address returned this quite straightforward answer:
"185.199.109.153 | GitHub Inc. | AbuseIPDB"
Maybe scraping from a scraper search engine would be enough? E.g.
https://searx.tuxcloud.net/search?q=185.199.109.153&categories=general&language=en-US 🤷
@kzimmermann @realcaseyrollins my project ATM is to find out which tech giants have a role in thousands of websites. So if i inspect a single hostname using ipinfo.io or searx the IP, that's fine for one site.. but i need to automate it more. Github probably isn't MS's only project with branding that doesn't mention "Microsoft", so it's tricky to do robotically.
