Abuse Contact Database new article content ...

The Abuse Contact DB is a free proxy database service for organizations or individuals who wish to report network abuse directly to the network abuse contact of record.

The source for the abuse contacts provided is the whois ASN record for the range in question published by each of the [Regional Internet Registries] (RIRs: ARIN, RIPE, LACNIC, APNIC, AFRNIC). The intent of the Abuse Contact Database is to offer a temporary proxy abuse contact lookup solution until RIRs provide their own easy to use solutions.

The Abuse Contact DB provides a publicly facing “DNSBL like” interface which allows abuse reporters the ability to look up abuse contact email addresses from which abusive content was sent by searching for an IP address; without getting lost in the RIR whois databases or rate-limited by whois servers.
