To improve performance of WHOIS service and to prevent its excessive high-volume use by a single source, we implemented a randomly generated Access Code that must be entered before running a WHOIS request.

The Access Code in the box is provided in graphics format. It has letters which are generated randomly and the symbol images are distorted.
