über dig tool

by vbrtrmn (Pilgrim)
on Jun 08, 2003 at 20:45 UTC ( [id://264155]=CUFP: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I recently started a job at a domain registry, where we use the dig tool, quite a bit. We would do a dig on a generic tld server, then dig on the returned data, then possibly dig on the returned data of that dig... I though this is a job for perl. Plus, I can show off.

This was my first real attempt with an NPH script, so please be gentile. It is setup for a web interface, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to do both command prompt and web interface. No one, in the department (that I know of), knows how to use the command prompt with much efficiency (sans myself).

This program first digs on a selected gtld sever, then digs on all the Name Servers returned in the dig output, then digs on all of that output, so forth and so on. It ignores duplicates as well.

I had a big giant security hole, which I patched awhile back; added the update.

EDITED 24 July 2003

I added a password, to reduce my server load. I also added css highlighting, so the domain which was searched for is easier to see.

Re: über dig tool

    I did a lot of Perl and DNS hacking while working as a DNS administrator at a multinational company, and I did extensive Perl-DNS hacking. Amongst other things, I did a fully recursive DNSchecker that could check the entire internal tree, and give a report on lame delegations and stuff (and point out those pesky, non-standard Novell DNS servers. Ugh). I used the Net::DNS module to do a lot of work, and it was really helpful, check it out. It will help you do queries and take care of the responses correctly.

    This was my first real attempt with an NPH script, so please be gentile.

    Purely as a matter of terminology, this doesn't appear to be an NPH script. If it is, then you are failing to manually set the Status header. For that matter, even if it is a simple CGI, I don't see where the content-type header is being printed... so, I'm a little curious how it is managing to work at all.

    That aside, if your coworkers are used to using dig, why would you try to shift them away from the command line to a browser? I understand your reasoning that no one in your department uses the command line "with much efficiency" but I question your decision to go to a web-based tool. The latter seems to limit even the possibility of efficiency.

    For example, I imagine that at least one of your coworkers, even if not very efficient in general, is at least familiar with how to redirect output from dig into a file. With the web-based tool, he'll be reduced to cutting and pasting (or learning a command-line based browser, maybe.)

    Creating a more flexible and powerful tool is a great idea, but tacking a web interface onto things doesn't often accomplish that. The command line is your friend!

      they're not using the commandline, they're using a really basic web-interfaced dig.

        Ah... well... I... uh... I see...

        In that case... uh... well... uh... carry on.
