Smartwhois
SmartWhois is a useful network information utility that allows you to
look up all the available information about an IP address, hostname or
domain, including country, state or province, city, name of the network
provider, administrator and technical support contact information. It
helps you find answers to these important questions:
-
Who is the owner of the domain?
-
When was the domain registered and what is the owner's contact
information?
-
Who is the owner of the IP address block?
It is available from here.
A search for Microsoft.com returned a number of results including a
number of subnets which when evaluated further gave a lot more contact
information, obviously drilling down further would give you a lot more
and all this information could be used later for a possible social
engineering type attack if that was required for a particular
Penetration Test.
This tool is unfortunately commercial and in my opinion the information
gained can be obtained at no cost from other tools. Still worth a
few dollars if you want a nice GUI driven front-end and have a budget
for a number of tools
