NetInfo

NetInfo is a simple IP enrichment service to provide additional data related to an IP address. The primary utility of NetInfo is to serve as a API wrapper and management system for the PyASN and MaxMind GeoIP libraries. NetInfo will automatically seek and download new update files, ensuring the databases are always up-to-date. The local API queries the PyASN and GeoIP instance and returns back enrichment data for an IP address.

Getting Started

Grab the dependencies:

$ apt-get install redis-server rabbitmq-server

Check out netinfo to /opt/:

$ cd /opt && git clone https://github.com/9b/netinfo.git

Change directory to the netinfo working directory:

$ cd netinfo/

Setup the virtualenv:

$ virtualenv -p python3 venv3

Activate the virtualenv:

$ source venv3/bin/activate

Install the requirements:

$ (venv3) pip install -r requirements.txt

Install the services and start them.

See Services README.

Or start the Celery Daemon:

$ (venv3) /opt/netinfo/venv3/bin/celery worker -A worker.celery --loglevel=info -B

And start the server:

$ (venv3) /opt/netinfo/venv3/bin/uwsgi --ini wsgi.ini

You can then access the API through http://localhost:7777 for more details.

Sample Output

When calling http://localhost:7777/lookup?ip=74.96.192.82:

{
  "as_name": "UUNET - MCI Communications Services, Inc. d/b/a Verizon Business, US",
  "as_num": 701,
  "city": "Vienna",
  "country_iso": "US",
  "country_name": "United States",
  "ip": "74.96.192.82",
  "ip_hex": "0x4a60c052",
  "ip_version": 4,
  "latitude": 38.8977,
  "longitude": -77.288,
  "network": "74.96.0.0/16",
  "network_broadcast": "74.96.255.255",
  "network_hostmask": "0.0.255.255",
  "network_netmask": "255.255.0.0",
  "network_size": 65536,

}

Unlike the standard PyASN library, NetInfo will add the AS name to the response, additional network data and the original IP address that was requested.
