[SOLVED] Geoip / geoiplookup

Hello All-

Geoip seems to have stopped support of the old .dat files and moved to .mmdb >> https://support.maxmind.com/geolite-leg … on-notice/

When i do geoiplookup <ipaddress> I only get the country info back like this

geoiplookup 1.1.1.1

GeoIP Country Edition: AU, Australia 

I installed geoip2-database and have the .mmdb city file located in /usr/share/GeoIP. Also used the geoip-updater (https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoipupdate/) to download the .mmdb files as well.

I found an old arch machine that has some of the old .dat files in /usr/share/GeoIP. If I copy those files over to my other machine then I get the normal output:

geoiplookup 1.1.1.1

GeoIP Country Edition: AU, Australia
GeoIP City Edition, Rev 1: AU, 07, Victoria, Research, 3095, -37.700001, 145.183304, 0, 0
GeoIP ASNum Edition: AS13335 Cloudflare Inc

I don't know anything about the geoip program and couldn't find any answers.

Does anyone know how to use geoiplookup with the new mmdb's?

Thanks for any ideas.

Re: [SOLVED] Geoip / geoiplookup

There is a mmdblookup package available. Once installed you can inspect the mmdb like this:

mmdblookup --file /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-City.mmdb  --ip 1.1.1.1
