Beyond Whois - Data Mining IANA Protocol Numbers

Beyond Whois - Data Mining IANA Protocol Numbers:


We all know about how the "whois" database is being mined by spammers and other scum.

This morning I woke up to find a scam email in my inbox, nothing odd about that.  What was odd, however, was that it was very clear that this email was created by mining the IANA protocol number assignments.
