[PLUG] GeoIP from the CLI

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

Lots of great tips in this blog, like: 
http://xmodulo.com/2014/03/geographic-location-ip-address-command-line.html

Method 1:
$ sudo apt-get install geoip-bin

### The default installation of geoiplookup comes with GeoIP.dat 
database file which is located in /usr/share/GeoIP. With this database, 
you can look up the country information only.
$ geoiplookup 23.66.166.151

Method 2:
$ curl ipinfo.io/23.66.166.151


Related, with no argument you get your external IP!

(Paul, these would fit well into your CLI slides.)

Enjoy,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
