Using the Whois Lookup will not trigger an IDS alert.
True
False
The statement is generally TRUE because whois search tool is used for performing footprinting undetected. When a WHOIS lookup is performed, a third party is queried for information regarding the targeted domain. At no point during the WHOIS lookup process is the domain actually touched by the client requesting the information. Therefore, WHOIS queries will always go undetected by the targets IDS as the server answering the WHOIS query is not controlled by the organization being targeted. The only exception to this might be when the target organization is hosting a WHOIS database. A list of servers used in WHOIS queries is available at https://www.nirsoft.net/whoisserverslist.html
