getas is a convenient tool for analyzing Autonomous Systems (AS) information, routes, and network aggregation. The script supports working with IP addresses, networks, domain names, or AS numbers. Its key features include retrieving detailed AS information, aggregating networks, and formatted output in both English and Russian.

This tool is designed for network engineers, analysts, and anyone interested in Internet route analysis.

With many websites being blocked, up-to-date information about networks associated with various organizations has become particularly valuable. For example, to get a full list of networks associated with YouTube (Google), you only need to run:

getas youtube.com -r

Installation

Download

Clone the latest version of getas from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/mnbarinov/getas.git
cd getas
chmod +x $(pwd)/getas.py

Install the script

To make the script easier to use, create a symbolic link:

sudo ln -s $(pwd)/getas.py /usr/local/bin/getas

Now you can run the script using the command getas.

Install dependencies

The script requires Python 3 and the whois command. Install them if they are not already available:

Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip whois

RHEL/CentOS:

sudo dnf install python3 python3-pip whois

Recommended language configuration

By default, the script outputs information in English. To set Russian as the default language, add the following alias to your .bashrc file:

echo "alias getas='getas --lang ru'" >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc

Usage Examples

getas 15169 --tolerance 8

Prevent network aggregation:

getas 15169 --no-merge

Retrieve AS information by IP address:

getas 8.8.8.8

Retrieve AS information for an IP and its advertised networks:

getas 8.8.8.8 -r

Convert subnet masks to binary format:

getas 8.8.8.8 -m -r

Retrieve AS information using a domain name:

getas example.com

Change output language:
