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. Regards Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group On 25/07/2012 19:43, Arnold wrote:

I was referring to our AS number and IPs on our network, not to a website or to a domain name. Sorry, I misunderstood.
Once I looked up AS39122, I did find the abuse address
As I said, I'm merely an 'amateur' who receives SPAM and want to do something about it, but ... it is just as difficult for me to see how I go from a SPAM message to an AS#### with any sort of ease
Is there any way to get access to the RIPE data?
Currently I use IANA databases, which I download to my local machine and search with my homebrew SPAM reporter.
Anything equivalent from RIPE, & searchable so I can go from the IP address to find the abuse address would be very welcome.
If anything like it exists already, I haven't found it, but would be most interested in further details.
