Dear Arnold
From the RIPE NCC website you can find an Abuse Finder tool http://apps.db.ripe.net/search/abuse-finder.html
This is a first iteration of a user tool to help with finding abuse contact information in the RIPE Database. It tries to find the abuse contact(s) for an Internet resource on a 'best effort' basis.
One of the difficulties of automating this process at the moment is many abuse contacts are in "remarks:" attributes. These cannot be parsed by a script with any degree of confidence. This was one of the starting points from which the 2011-06 policy proposal originated.
Denis I tried that now. It's very confusing. It's not at all clear if the search box will take an IP address or not .. I tried one and got back a "result" which I could click on .. When I did I got "ERROR:115: invalid search key"
