abwhose

The simplest way to find the correct place to report a domain for abuse.

$ abwhose phishing-mcphishface.com

Report abuse to domain registrar:
  Email:     [email protected]
Report abuse to host:
  HostPhish: Submit this form - https://wehostphish.biz/dev/null.php

Never again send an abuse report via email only to get a response days later saying:

Sorry, we only take abuse reports through this online form: https://reallyslow.com/new-report

Instead use abwhose and always send your abuse reports to the correct place the first time.

Installation

brew install bradleyjkemp/formulae/abwhose

Pre-filling abuse email reports

abwhose can automatically open your email client pre-filled with a template of your choice.

To use this feature just:

1. Create an email template file somewhere on your filesystem (see below for an example).
2. Set the environment variable ABWHOSE_MAILTO_TEMPLATE to the path to you template file.

An example template you could use is:

mailto:{{.recipient}}?subject=Phishing site: {{.domain}}&body=To whom it may concern,

Please take down this phishing site: {{.domain}}

Thanks
