R. Palma BSIT220 Wk4 whois and tracert

This week we learned about the Whois and tracert commands.
Using the whois command and choosing 5 random corporations 
gave us the information on who hosts the domain, where to log complaints of abuse on the domain and
information on the owner of the domain as well.

Using the tracert command gave us an idea as to what kind of Network Connection
these sites have.  Which ones were getting packets faster than another or
which ones were losing packets when performing this command.
While accessing as much information for some sites and very little for others
made it seem like the ones that gave the most information about the site owners and hosts.
Might also be at risk for Security issues. I would have to say the sites that gave us the least amount of information or did not allow us to perform certain commands were that way because they are pretty well secured.

Often times this issue of the DNS error can be resolved by flushing the DNS. The other issue, I will often walk the user through making sure that the web sites they are trying to access  are both...
