So here’s the most basic whois server in Python (connects to a PostgreSQL DB for the cached data):

Also, a funny holiday reminder that the NSA is spying on all of us!

Limiter Notes:

• The shared secret is padded with 2 random strings:
  • shared-secret = (pre-pad + common-password + post-pad)
  • These 2 strings are re-generated after 2^16 unique nonces are used
• The message data is prefixed with a unique nonce string:
  • message-data = (uniq-nonce + message-body)
• The limiter server uses sha256 hashing to authenticate data:
  • auth-message = sha256(shared-secret + message-data + shared-secret)
  • Can switch to a basic HMAC call if greater security is needed
• The limiter server is a single process which communicates with any connecting clients
  • Can switch to a forked-child setup if faster connections are needed

Whois Notes:

• The whois server uses forked-child processes to communicate with multiple clients at the same time
  • Each client process will make its own connection to the database server
