Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Searches for an object in a RFC 3912 database. This version of the WHOIS client tries to guess the right server to ask for the specified object. If no guess can be made it will connect to whois.networksolutions.com for NIC handles or whois.arin.net for IPv4 addresses and network names.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
