Command line utility for analysis domain names and reporting useful information

Domain Analysis Reporter

The Domain Analysis Reporter is a Python script designed to analyze a list of domains and generate detailed reports, including IP resolution, redirection URLs, parent domain, and domain registration information. The output is saved in both Markdown (.md) and CSV formats for easy sharing and analysis.

A corresponding CSV file

Features

• Validate domain names using regular expressions.
• Resolve domains to IP addresses.
• Resolve IP addresses to hostnames.
• Follow and capture HTTP redirects for domains.
• Store results in:
  • Markdown (.md) for human-readable reports.
  • CSV (.csv) for structured data analysis.
• Automatically detects and avoids re-processing previously analyzed domains by loading prior results from CSV.

Prerequisites

Ensure the following are installed on your system:

• Python 3.6+
• Required Python packages:
  • requests
  • boilerpy3 - Currently unused

Usage

Command-Line Arguments

Argument	Description	Required
-f, --file	Path to the input file containing domains to analyze. One domain per line.	Yes
-o, --output	Path to the output file (optional). Defaults to the input file name with _resolved suffix.	No
-t, --time	Expiration time in days for previous results. Defaults to 30 day. Specifiy 0 to force new analysis.	No
-v, --verbose	Enable verbose mode to display detailed processing information in the console.	No

---

Running the Script

Example 1: Basic Usage

python domain_analysis_reporter.py -f website_domains.txt

This processes the domains in website_domains.txt and generates:

• website_domains_resolved.md
• website_domains_resolved.csv

Example 2: Specify Output File

domain-analysis-reporter -f website_domains.txt -o custom_output

This generates:

• custom_output_resolved.md
• custom_output_resolved.csv

Example 3: Verbose Mode

domain-analysis-reporter -f website_domains.txt -v

This displays detailed processing information in the terminal.

---

Input File Format

The input file should contain one domain per line. Example:

example.com
google.com
invalid_domain

---

Output

Markdown Report (.md)

A table summarizing the analysis:

| Domain | Host IPs | Redirected URL | Registered Domain | Registrar | Domain Registration Date | Domain Expiration Date | Nameservers | Timestamp | |--------------|----------------|----------------------|------------------------| | example.com | 93.184.216.34 | https://example.com | example-host.com | NAMECHEAP INC | 2022-11-14 21:49:33 | 2025-01-27 12:35:58 | 2025-11-27 21:49:33 |

CSV File (.csv)

A structured file containing the same data as the Markdown report.

---

How It Works

1. File Validation:
   • Ensures the input file exists and is non-empty.
2. Domain Validation:
   • Validates domains using a regex pattern.
3. Previous Results:
   • If a previous .csv file exists for the same input, avoids re-processing matching domains.
4. Domain Analysis:
   • Resolves the domain to an IP address.
   • Captures any redirect URL.
5. Whois Lookup:
   • Find the domain registrar
   • Find the domain creation and expiration date
   • Find the domain nameservers
6. Report Generation:
   • Saves the results in both Markdown and CSV formats.

---

Error Handling

• Invalid Domains:
  • Logs invalid domains in the output.
• Network Issues:
  • Skips domains if unable to resolve or retrieve data within the timeout period.
