Quick Switch in Windows 7

If you found that the new Windows 7 feature (popup previews for all the same windows) is irritating, here is the trick: hold down the ctrl key while you click the button, you will immediately be taken to the last window of that type that you had open.

wtfjs

Today I come across an interesting website that learn to make Javascript a bit different: wtfjs.com.

About
JavaScript is a language we love despite it giving us so much to hate. This is a collection of those very special irregularities, inconsistencies and just plain painfully unintuitive moments for the language of the web.

FDNS 3.0

I think this will be final improvement. 

I did notice that the fdns2.2.py can only connect to whois.arin.net on port 43 (whois). It doesn't perform the follow up on the whois referring by arin.net.

With the new code, it should:

  • Resolve DNS name to IP address
  • Perform the reverse DNS based on the IP addess (above).
  • Perform whois DB checking based on the IP address (above), and shows the OrgName(netname).

#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys, re, socket, argparse
import json
name = who = ""
 
def whois_orgname(ipaddr):
    try:
        #data = []
        orgname = netname = desrc = ''
        whoisinfo = os.popen('whois %s' % ipaddr, 'r').readlines()
        ee = json.dumps(whoisinfo)
        dd = json.loads(ee)
        for line in dd:
            p1 = re.match('(orgname):\s*(.*)', line, re.I)
            p2 = re.match('(netname):\s*(.*)', line, re.I)
            #p3 = re.match('(descr):\s*(.*)', line, re.I)
            if p1 != None:
                orgname = p1.group(2)
            if p2 != None:
                netname = p2.group(2)
            #if p3 != None:
            #    descr = p3.group(2)
    except Exception, e:
        pass
    finally:
        orgnetname = orgname + "(" + netname + ")"
        return orgnetname
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Fast DNS Resolver for domain list', version='%(prog)s 3.0')
    parser.add_argument('-w', '--whois', dest='whois', action='store_true', default=True, help='whois')
    parser.add_argument('-R', dest='rdns', action='store_true', default=False, help='reverse dns')
    parser.add_argument('infile', nargs='+', type=str, help='list of input files')
    args = parser.parse_args()
    domains = []
    for f in args.infile:
        with open(f, 'rt') as data:
            for line in data.readlines():
                domains.append(line.strip())
    for domain in domains:
        try:
            host =  socket.gethostbyname(domain)
        except Exception, e:
            host = "-"
        finally:
            if args.rdns or args.whois:
                if args.rdns:
                    try:
                        name, alias, addresslist = socket.gethostbyaddr(host)
                    except Exception, e:
                        name = "-" # reverse dns name
                if args.whois:
                    try:
                        who = whois_orgname(host)
                    except Exception, e:
                        who = "-" # whois owner
                print "%s:%s:%s:%s" %(domain, host, name, who)
            else:
                print "%s:%s" % (domain, host)

Node.js is Fun

Just finished my first tutorial on Node.js. It is really fun and I'm getting more interested in Javascript now. And making it works on my Raspberry Pi is even more fun.

FDNS 2.2

I do a little bit of clean up on the code on fdns2.1.py. I notice that the fdns2.1.py does have limitation, where the web site will limit how the number of web request. Thus I just improve it by calling the whois.arin.net and parse the output.

Below is the new code:

#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys, re, socket, argparse
name = who = ""
def whois_orgname(ipaddr):
    try:
        s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        s.connect(("whois.arin.net", 43))
        s.send(ipaddr + "\r\n")
        response = ''
        while True:
            d = s.recv(4096)
            response += d
            if d == '':
                break
        s.close()
    except Exception, e:
        pass
    if len(response):
        return re.search(r'OrgName:\s*(.*)', "".join(response)).group(1)
    else:
        return ""
if __name__ == "__main__":
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Fast DNS Resolver for domain list', version='%(prog)s 2.0')
    parser.add_argument('-w', '--whois', dest='whois', action='store_true', default=False, help='whois')
    parser.add_argument('-R', dest='rdns', action='store_true', default=False, help='reverse dns')
    parser.add_argument('infile', nargs='+', type=str, help='list of input files')
    args = parser.parse_args()
    domains = []
    for f in args.infile:
        with open(f, 'rt') as data:
            for line in data.readlines():
                domains.append(line.strip())
    for domain in domains:
        try:
            host =  socket.gethostbyname(domain)
        except Exception, e:
            host = "-"
        finally:
            if args.rdns or args.whois:
                if args.rdns:
                    try:
                        name, alias, addresslist = socket.gethostbyaddr(host)
                    except Exception, e:
                        name = "-" # reverse dns name
                if args.whois:
                    try:
                        who = whois_orgname(host)
                    except Exception, e:
                        who = "-" # whois owner
                print "%s:%s:%s:%s" %(domain, host, name, who)
            else:
                print "%s:%s" % (domain, host)

FDNS 2.1

Remember the Geolocator last year? I improve the FDNS by adding in the whois info. Below is the new code:

#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys, re
import argparse
from socket import getaddrinfo
import urllib2
import BeautifulSoup
name = who = ""
 
def whois_orgname(ipaddr):
  website = "http://www.findip-address.com/" + ipaddr + "/whois"
  try:
      html_page = urllib2.urlopen(website).read()
      soup = BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(html_page)
      for script in soup(["script", "style"]):
          script.extract()
      text = soup.getText()
      lines = (line.strip() for line in text.splitlines())
      chunks = (phrase.strip() for line in lines for phrase in line.split("  "))
      text = '\n'.join(chunk for chunk in chunks if chunk)
      #if re.search('OrgName(.+?)OrgId', text):
      #    print 'found', re.search('OrgName:(.+?)OrgId', text).group(1)
      orgname = re.search('OrgName:(.+?)OrgId', text).group(1)
  except Exception, e:
      orgname = ""
  finally:
      return orgname
 
def whois_orgname2(query):
  s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
  s.connect(("whois.arin.net", 43))
  s.send(sys.argv[1] + "\r\n")
  response = ''
  while True:
      d = s.recv(4096)
      response += d
      if d == '':
          break
  s.close()
  print response
  #return response
  return ""
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Fast DNS Resolver for domain list', version='%(prog)s 2.1')
    #parser.add_argument('-w', '--whois', dest='whois', action='store_true', default=False, help='whois')
    parser.add_argument('-o', '--orgname', dest='orgname', action='store_true', default=False, help='whois')
    parser.add_argument('-R', dest='rdns', action='store_true', default=False, help='reverse dns')
    parser.add_argument('infile', nargs='+', type=str, help='list of input files')
    args = parser.parse_args()
    domains = []
    for f in args.infile:
        with open(f, 'rt') as data:
            for line in data.readlines():
                domains.append(line.strip())
    for domain in domains:
        try:

        except Exception, e:
            host = "-"
        finally:
            if args.rdns or args.orgname:
                if args.rdns:
                    try:
                        name, alias, addresslist = socket.gethostbyaddr(host)
                    except Exception, e:
                        name = "-" # reverse dns name
                '''
                if args.whois:
                    try:
                        #who = "whois function"
                        #who = "http://www.findip-address.com/" + host + "/whois"
                        #who = geoip.country(host)
                        who = whois_orgname(host)
                    except Exception, e:
                        who = "-" # whois owner
'''
                if args.orgname:
                    try:
                        orgname = whois_orgname2(host)
                    except Exception, e:
                        orgname = ""
                    finally:
                        who = orgname
                print "%s:%s:%s:%s" %(domain, host, name, who)
            else:

Fast DNS Resolver

I called this "Fast DNS Resolver" not because it is fast (at execution). It is because it is short, and simply resolve the IP address (including reverse DNS) for a list FQDN for me (fast).

(If you are looking for really fast execution python script to resolve DNS, try this Asynchronous DNS Resolution)

#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys, socket, argparse
name = ""
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Fast DNS Resolver for domain list', version='%(prog)s 1.0')
    parser.add_argument('-R', dest='rdns', action='store_true', default=False, help='reverse dns')
    parser.add_argument('infile', nargs='+', type=str, help='list of input files')
    args = parser.parse_args()
 
    domains = []
    for f in args.infile:
        with open(f, 'rt') as data:
            for line in data.readlines():
                domains.append(line.strip())
    for domain in domains:
        try:
            host =  socket.gethostbyname(domain)
        except Exception, e:
            host = "-"
        finally:
            if args.rdns:
                try:
                    name, alias, addresslist = socket.gethostbyaddr(host)
                except Exception, e:
                    name = "-" # reverse dns name
                print "%s:%s:%s" %(domain, host, name)
            else:
                print "%s:%s" % (domain, host)
