    There is very little here besides:

    man nslookup
    man whois

    Try those commands for a more complete understanding of what's going on.

    nslookup and whois? My God, is it legal to disseminate such critical information as this?

    Jeez, I was hoping for something vaguely Kevin Mitnick, and instead I get Sam Spade. This may not be Intarweb 101, but it's maybe 102.
