WhoIs : WHOIS tool that helps you get details about your network provider and geographical location by querying the online RIPE database
In depth
A closer look at Whois
WhoIs is a small command-line application whose purpose is to help you scan IP addresses and query databases in order to retrieve information about network service region and related contact details. The program can be directly run on your system without having to go through an installation process. You only need to open the executable file. If you no longer need it, you may simply delete the files that you have downloaded from the Internet, as it doesn’t write entries in the Windows registry. Copying it on any USB flash drive or other devices and run it without administrative privileges is also possible.
