whois and country ID from IP Address

pleuraXeraphim · 2009-08-13 14:01:10

I have a list of IP addresess and I want to be able to determine the 2 letter country code from it via command line on Unix/Linux. Is it possible to use whois and just get back the country code only ? Or is there another command line tool ? Thanks a mill

I dont think theres a tool yet(I could be wrong), but what your looking for is called GeoTargeting or more specifically Ip spidering.

Here's a we based tool if its any use to you:

Im sure you could right a script to check the above url from command line.

try GeoIP library, it probably has some test apps you could tweak for your purpose.
