In cymruservices: Query 'Team Cymru' 'IP' Address, Autonomous System Number ('ASN'), Border Gateway Protocol ('BGP'), Bogon and 'Malware' Hash Data Services

Description

Retrieves BGP Peer ASN info for a list of IPv4 addresses

Usage

bulk_peer(ips, timeout = getOption("timeout"))

Arguments

ips	vector of IPv4 address (character - dotted-decimal)
timeout	numeric: the timeout (in seconds) to be used for this connection. Beware that some OSes may treat very large values as zero: however the POSIX standard requires values up to 31 days to be supported.

Value

data frame of BGP Peer ASN lookup results

• peer_as - peer AS #

• ip - IPv4 (passsed in)

• bgp_prefix - BGP CIDR block

• cc - Country code

• registry - Registry it falls under

• allocated - date allocated

• peer_as_name - peer name

If a socket connection cannot be made (i.e. a network problem on your end or a service/network problem on their end), all columns will be NA.

Note

The Team Cymru's service is NOT a GeoIP service! Do not use this function for that as your results will not be accurate. Data is updated every 4 hours. Also, A direct connection to TCP Port 43 (WHOIS) is required for most of these API functions to work properly.
