Today I've noticed something weird on all my FreeBSD boxes. When I whois
domains like msn.com, microsoft.com, aol.com and others I get stuff like:
$ whois msn.com
Whois Server Version 1.3
Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
for detailed information.
MSN.COM.TW
MSN.COM.SUCKS.FIND.CRACKZ.WITH.SEARCH.GULLI.COM
MSN.COM
My linux boxes seem to work fine. When I query a specific whois server
such as whois.networksolutions.com it works fine also. Is anyone else
getting anything like this? I'm thinking maybe the default whois server
that the whois program queries has been compromised? I'm not sure what the
default whois server is.
