DNS record scraper

Project description

fess_up
=======

Fess Up is an unintelligent DNS record guesser in Python. It offers
both a library and a command line tool to scan specific domains for
(currently) one layer of subdomains. The scan is dictionary based and
it will attempt to avoid superfluous queries by basing subsequent
queries off of previously discovered records.

fess_up's scanning wordlist is based on files installed in the
fess_up/dnsnames/ directory. To expand this list, either edit
```default.txt``` or add another .txt file to the directory and it
will be automatically loaded.

Command line tool
-------

To scan a domain using the ```fess_up.py``` (installed as
```fess_up``` when using the Debian package) command line tool, simply
provide the domain as an argument:

```
./fess_up nosmo.me --at
nosmo.me
{'@': {'A': ['92.51.245.61'],
'MX': [('nosmo.me.', 10)],
'TXT': ['v=spf1 mx -all']},
'www': {'A': ['92.51.245.61'],
'CNAME': ['nosmo.me.'],
'MX': [('nosmo.me.', 10)],
'TXT': ['v=spf1 mx -all']}}
```

The ```--at``` flag simply replaces any values for the root domain
with an @.

Library
--------

fess_up's domain scan can be used as a library:

```
>>> from fess_up import dnsnames, DomainScan
>>> domain_scanner = DomainScan("nosmo.me", dnsnames.dnsnames)
>>> domain_scanner.runScan()
>>> dict(domain_scanner.data)
{'www': {'A': ['92.51.245.61'], 'CNAME': ['nosmo.me.'], 'MX': [('nosmo.me.', 10)], 'TXT': ['v=spf1 mx -all']}, None: {'A': ['92.51.245.61'], 'TXT': ['v=spf1 mx -all'], 'MX': [('nosmo.me.', 10)]}}
```
