Garth is an expert in internet record analysis, specifically WHOIS records. WHOIS is a hotly debated but poorly understood subject. The WHOIS system underlies the Internet and can be used properly to reduce abuse and criminality. Garth has written a book for Wiley that discusses the evolution of WHOIS and how policy changes will affect WHOIS’ place in telecommunications today and in the future. The book provides a comprehensive overview of WHOIS, beginning with an introduction to WHOIS and an in-depth coverage of its forty-year history. Garth examines how to use WHOIS and how WHOIS fits in the overall structure of the Domain Name System (DNS). Other technical topics covered include investigations, research, WHOIS query code and WHOIS server details. While technical, Garth wants to make the subject available to everyone.
