Description
Whois has been an essential part of the network engineer's toolkit since the 1980s, as it provides access to information about domain names, IP address allocations and autonomous system numbers.
However, from January 2025, gTLD registries and registrars will no longer be required to operate a port-43 whois service. This may have an impact on anyone or anything that depends on Whois.
This presentation will describe (a) the timelines of events leading up to the Whois Sunset Date, (b) RDAP, the replacement for Whois, (c) the clients, tools and services available for RDAP, and (d) how to report problems with RDAP responses to the registry, registrar, and ICANN.
