Ahh, I see.  Judging by the FAQ, I reckon it's never been available for download, and \
s/he may be holding out for someone to pay them for the "code";

Note, also, their test domain has expired (this is supposed to be where you can see \
it  _in action_): mailto:info@whois-help.info?Subject=Inquiring about the domain \
'pwntcha.net', with status: Expired

Intrigued by this thread, I waded through the few results on Google, and although \
many people are talking about it like gospel, I don't see anyone else actually using \
the tool.

Cheers,
Joey
