| 2 | |||
| 3 | VGWhoIs is a fork of the tool GWhoIs. It allows users to find information about domains, IP addresses, |
||
| 4 | ASN numbers etc by querying the best fitting WhoIs service automatically. The information about the |
||
| 5 | whois services is stored in a pattern file and can be altered or extended by new pattern files. |
||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | The pattern files which contain the whois servers of all existing top-level-domains is actively maintained and updated |
||
| 8 | regularly! |
||

| 10 | In regards querying OID information, VGWhoIs supports The [OID-Information-Protocol](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-viathinksoft-oidip/). |
