Making my own .hu ccTLD whois server

Did you ever felt the need to check a domain's owner or existence through the terminal? Well, I work with servers and the whois utility is handy for that... For example

output of whois example.com

Well, this is simply not possible with the .hu ccTLD for some odd reason:

output of whois minta.hu

Well, you can get basic information but what if I'm in other tasks where I can't open a browser to go to the indicated link? Well, according to [ISZT] you can fuck yourself! Well, I got fed up and with the help of a friend and AI I hacked together a Python-based solution that gives the same information as domain.hu's [web whois service]:

output of whois -h hu.whois.furit.systems minta.hu

This way I can quickly check if a domain is available or the registrant behind it (if it's not a private person) with every other information that's public (i.e. name servers, registrar information).

To use this server you need to run whois like this: whois -h hu.whois.furit.systems <domain.hu>

So dear ISZT, kindly fuck off and publish the proper information via your whois servers.

Update @ 2026-04-12, hours before my plane: I have pushed the code to [Github]. N-joy!
