Often I need to identify IP addresses. I like to execute whois.exe on the command line. Have not found a site with the whois information for this IP address:
164.45.207.200
Also, I was able to get the reverse lookup, but no clear info on the returned information.
c8.cf.2da9.ip4.static.sl-reverse.com
For IP addresses you need to use the whois server of the appropriate Regional Internet Registry. You can see that I've done so below by adding "-h whois.arin.net" to the (Linux) whois command line. Generally, one starts with ARIN and moves as directed. In this case, the IP you've identified falls into ARIN's jurisdiction, and is owned by the DoD/DNIC/DISA. Further probing of that address is... not recommended.
$ whois -h whois.arin.net 164.45.207.200

Depending on your whois client, it may automatically follow referrals across to other Regional Registries (RIPE, APNIC, etc.) as shown below. Even if it doesn't, the top bit of information is pretty explicit about where to go for more answers, allowing you to make the second query yourself.
