What Hacker News says

2 sources
This looks like a really cool little CLI script, and I could see myself using it as a regular CLI tool instead of whois and Googling. It looks really good, it gathers a lot of extra info, and uses a bunch of highly regarded external sources like virustotal, shodan, graynoise and more. Only criticism is that it does use or need a bunch of accounts and API keys which probably makes the setup a bit tedious: https://github.com/pirxthepilot/wtfis?tab=readme-ov-file#dat... obviously a necessary evil though given what the tool is doing.
