Introducing yWhois: An Enhanced IP, Domain, and ASN Lookup Tool Using RDAP
In the rapidly evolving landscape of internet infrastructure, tools that facilitate efficient and reliable digital asset lookup are invaluable. Recognizing this need, we previously launched yWhois—a robust platform designed for IP, domain, and Autonomous System Number (ASN) investigations via RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol). Today, we are excited to share significant updates that bolster its performance and reliability.
Addressing Performance Challenges
One of the initial hurdles encountered was dealing with rate-limiting when traffic to the platform surged. To mitigate this, we implemented a multi-server architecture featuring multiple worker servers. This setup distributes the load effectively, ensuring stable and responsive lookups even during peak times. We believe this architectural enhancement significantly improves user experience by minimizing downtime and access restrictions.
Aiming for a Modern Standards Replacement
It’s worth noting that RDAP serves as a modern, standardized replacement for the traditional WHOIS protocol. Ideally, public RDAP APIs from registrars should offer generous usage limits to accommodate the needs of developers and security professionals alike. However, we have found that some providers impose surprisingly restrictive API quotas, which can hinder large-scale or automated investigations. Our efforts to navigate these limitations stem from a commitment to offering a seamless, reliable lookup service for our users.
