## GeoIP2 Based on [PerlMonks](https://www.perlmonks.org/) posts [1226112](https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1226112) and [1226223](https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1226223) by [cavac](https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=890813), this is my attempt in opening the GeoIP2 data from [MAXMIND](https://dev/maxmind.com) available [here](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/) The [download section](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/#Downloads) has three CSV databases available: - [Country](http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country-CSV.zip) - [Provider](http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-ASN-CSV.zip) - [City](http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City-CSV.zip) If you download all three, and create a postgres database `geoip`, then [geoip](geoip) will convert all CSV data to database tables. ## Use ``` sh $ perl geoip $ perl geoip 66.39.54.27 209.197.123.153 216.92.34.251 $ perl geoip perlmonks.org ``` Once the database is filled, the last call might return something like ``` GeoIP data for 66.39.54.27 - www.perlmonks.com: CIDR : 66.39.0.0/16 IP range : 66.39.0.0 - 66.39.255.255 Provider : pair Networks City : Pittsburgh, 508, 15203 Country : US United States Continent : North America Location : 40.4254 / -79.9799 (1000) 40°25'31.44" / -79°58'47.64" https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=10/40.4254/-79.9799 https://www.google.com/maps/place/@40.4254,-79.9799,10z Timezone : America/New_York EU member : No Satellite : No Anon Proxy: No ``` and, when you also use the `--dist` option ``` Using GeoIP to determine own location GeoIP data for 66.39.54.27 - www.perlmonks.com: CIDR : 66.39.0.0/16 IP range : 66.39.0.0 - 66.39.255.255 Provider : pair Networks City : Pittsburgh, 508, 15203 Country : US United States Continent : North America Location : 40.4254 / -79.9799 (1000) 40°25'31.44" / -79°58'47.64" https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=10/40.4254/-79.9799 https://www.google.com/maps/place/@40.4254,-79.9799,10z Location : 52.3824 / 4.8995 52°22'56.64" / 4°53'58.20" Distance : ± 6258.19km Timezone : America/New_York EU member : No Satellite : No Anon Proxy: No ``` ## PREREQUISITES - perl-5.14.0 - Socket (CORE since per-5.000) - [Archive::Zip](https://metacpan.org/release/Archive-Zip) - [Text::CSV_XS](https://metacpan.org/release/Text-CSV_XS)-1.35 - [Net::CIDR](https://metacpan.org/release/Net-CIDR) For use of the `--dist` option, two additional modules are required. This functionality is optional, `geoip` will work perfectly fine without these. - [LWP::UserAgent](https://metacpan.org/release/LWP-UserAgent) - [HTML::TreeBuilder](https://metacpan.org/release/HTML-TreeBuilder) ## INSTALLATION Using PostgreSQL: ``` $ echo "create database geoip;" | psql -f - $ perl ./geoip --fetch $ ln geoip ~/bin/ ``` Using SQLite (database will be close to 500 Mb): ``` $ perl ./geoip --fetch --DB=dbi:SQLite:dbname=geoip.db ``` or ``` $ export GEOIP_DBI_DSN=dbi:SQLite:dbname=/my/databases/geoip.db $ perl ./geoip --fetch ``` Depending on the amount of memory you have, this might take a while. You can also fetch the files yourself ``` $ wget -m -L -nd -np -nH \ http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-ASN-CSV.zip \ http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City-CSV.zip \ http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country-CSV.zip ``` ## TODO - IPv6. The current version only implements the IPv4 part. The CSV files however also the IPv6 data, so it should not be too hard to add. ## SEE ALSO This tool uses the following modules from CORE and CPAN: - [Archive::Zip](https://metacpan.org/release/Archive-Zip) - [Data::Dumper](https://metacpan.org/release/Data-Dumper) (core) - [Data::Peek](https://metacpan.org/release/Data-Peek) (optional) - [Getopt::Long](https://metacpan.org/release/Getopt-Long) (core) - [GIS::Distance](https://metacpan.org/release/GIS-Distance) (optional) - [HTML::TreeBuilder](https://metacpan.org/release/HTML-TreeBuilder) (optional) - [LWP::Simple](https://metacpan.org/release/LWP-Simple) - [LWP::UserAgent](https://metacpan.org/release/LWP-UserAgent) (optional) - [Math::Trig](https://metacpan.org/release/Math-Complex) (core) - [Net::CIDR](https://metacpan.org/release/Net-CIDR) - [Socket](https://metacpan.org/release/Socket) (core) - [Text::CSV_XS](https://metacpan.org/release/Text-CSV_XS) Modules on CPAN with similar and/or related functionality: - [Geo::Coder::HostIP](https://metacpan.org/release/Geo-Coder-HostIP) - [Geo::IP](https://metacpan.org/release/Geo-IP) - from maxmind - [Geo::IP2Location](https://metacpan.org/release/Geo-IP2Location) - [Geo::IP2Proxy](https://metacpan.org/release/Geo-IP2Proxy) - [Geo::IP6](https://metacpan.org/release/Geo-IP6) - [Geo::IPfree](https://metacpan.org/release/Geo-IPfree) - using [software77](http://software77.net/geo-ip/) database - [Geo::IP::RU::IpGeoBase](https://metacpan.org/release/Geo-IP-RU-IpGeoBase) - [IP::Country](https://metacpan.org/release/IP-Country) - [IP::Country::DB_File](https://metacpan.org/release/IP-Country-DB_File) - [IP::Country::DNSBL](https://metacpan.org/release/IP-Country-DNSBL) - [IP::Info](https://metacpan.org/release/IP-Info) - [IP::Location](https://metacpan.org/release/IP-Location) - [IP::QQWry](https://metacpan.org/release/IP-QQWry) - [IP::World](https://metacpan.org/release/IP-World) - [Metabrik::Lookup::Iplocation](https://metacpan.org/release/Metabrik-Lookup-Iplocation) - [Pcore::GeoIP](https://metacpan.org/release/Pcore-GeoIP) Check [CPAN](https://metacpan.org/search?q=geoip) for more ## THANKS Thanks to cavac for the inspiration ## AUTHOR H.Merijn Brand ## COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE The GeoLite2 end-user license agreement, which incorporates components of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License 1) can be found [here](https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/eula) 2).
