Protect Your Website with Reverse DNS Lookup

Your mobile phone rings. Caller ID does not recognize the caller. But the area code and first digits of the phone number are the same as yours.

How to Perform a GeoIP Lookup in Flask

If you're building a website (or API) using Flask, it's often useful to know where your visitors are coming from: the US, the EU, someplace else? The process of locating a web user is typically referred to IP geolocation, and unfortunately, it isn't simple.

The reason it isn't easy to get IP geolocation data is that there is no standard mapping of IPs -> location data. Most companies get this data by purchasing it from GeoIP aggregators that piece together lots of different bits of information to build an accurate database of IP geolocation data.

Know Your Domain’s Name Server Better With Reverse NS API

Name Servers are a fundamental part of the Domain Name System (DNS). They define your domain’s current DNS provider and are key to ensuring that your website is visible on the web. They are owned by web hosts and are specifically used to manage the domain names associated with their web hosting customers. Most hosting companies will have thousands of domains pointed to the same name servers.

How to Perform a GeoIP Lookup with Node.js

In this article, I'm going to walk you through the best possible way to find the physical location of an IP address using Node.js (also known as IP geolocation).

Unfortunately, there is no standard way to figure out where an IP address is physically located. Instead, companies referred to as GeoIP providers aggregate many different pieces of data together to build an accurate database of IP location data.

GeoIP data is typically comprised of:

  • Domain WHOIS data (which itself must be aggregated by data providers)
  • Regional Internet Registries, which hand out large blocks of IP addresses to various Internet Service Providers around the world (ISPs)
