Show ASN/ORG in addr_table #49

Closed rootbeerdan closed 1 year ago

rootbeerdan commented 1 year ago

I'm not sure if it would be more useful to have Org or ASN in the output (or both?), but I wanted to keep clutter to a minimum, so I envisioned something like this:

ipvfoo with AS ORG name

Or with ASNs:

ipvfoo with AS ORG name

The difficulty would be implementing and managing WHOIS queries, so it might be better for privacy and performance to make this setting optional (off by default), and only query a WHOIS service when someone actually opens up the table.

I'm happy to take a crack at this if this is something considered in scope for this extension.

"Everything is captured and displayed privately, without creating any additional network traffic." -- I'd rather stick to that design principle, and not include information fetched from the internet.

I had a couple POCs, but they all involved significantly complicating the actual purpose of the extension. I'll close this, but I appreciate the feedback.
