nmine 3.2.3

Combines nmap output and DNS data to produce HTTP[S] URLs of interest.

nmine

nmine searches files for substrings that appear to be valid DNS names. It resolves them and outputs the result if the address it resolves to is of interest.

A possible name will only be considered a valid DNS name if it ends with a known TLD (see the -t and -T options). If the -s option is also specified, then a possible name must also end with one of the strings specified with that option.

Examples / Description

Let's say you have some arbitrary file (or directories of files) containing DNS names of some sort:

> ls
blah.txt
> cat blah.txt 
nothing 
The quick brown fox yahoo.com jumps over the lazy dog. hurricanelabs.com]
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ex wisi elitr eruditi pro.   129831; asdf
google.com!zzzhomero has ei
;sad0uf23 www.github.com 090

You're interested in any names which resolve to any address in 192.0.0.0/8. You put this in a file called "SCOPE" (or any file specified with the -i option):

>> cat > SCOPE
192.0.0.0/8

You then run nmine while in the above directory, and any names resolving to your network(s) of interest are output:

> nmine
hurricanelabs.com.                       600 IN A 192.230.81.48
www.github.com.                          600 IN A 192.30.253.112

Options

• -i (filename): Name of a file containing IPv4 networks of interest.

• -n (address): Name or address of a DNS server to send all queries to.

• -f hosts|zone: Output format. "zone" is like BIND zone files or dig output. "hosts" is like /etc/hosts.

• -t (TLD): Specify additional TLDs to consider valid. May be specified multiple times.

• -T: Do NOT automatically consider IANA TLDs valid. The only TLDs considered valid will be those specified with -t.

• -s: Only consider names with this ending to be valid names at all. May be specified multiple times.
