Find the ip address of a seized website

So your favorite site is now displaying the following message:

This domain name has been seized by ICE – Homeland Security Investigations

What “ICE” have done is changed the IP address that the domain resolved to, to one of their own.

The easiest way to see what the IP address currently is, is by using the “ping” command:

[hm2k@server~]$ ping torrent-finder.com
PING torrent-finder.com (74.81.170.110) 56(84) bytes of data.

1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms

We’re going to need a way to pass requests over http to smtp or pop3/imap, and what better way to do it than with gmail?

Sure, but there’s no API…

Today, after I decided to hang out in #eggtcl on EFnet, someone asked the following:

<daILLeST> anyine know of a weather tcl that actually works? All the ones I find are outdated, or in another language…

I decided it was time that I updated my old weather.tcl based on a script by Ycarus for eggdrop bots.

mydigitallife.info stole my code

I wrote a little script for an article on fixr.co.uk entitled “Remove OGA Notifier“.

Today I discovered that mydigitallife.info had clearly taken details from my batch file code and used it without giving me or fixr.co.uk any credit at all.
