Impatient?
    Application code: goto "# # # Hunt the Spammer' program code # # #"
    Example output: ":<<-'_is_spammer_outputs_'"
    How to use: Enter script name without arguments.
                Or goto "Quickstart" at end of script.

Provides
    Given a domain name or IP(v4) address as input:

    Does an exhaustive set of queries to find the associated
    network resources (short of recursing into TLDs).

    Checks the IP(v4) addresses found against Blacklist
    nameservers.

    If found to be a blacklisted IP(v4) address,
    reports the blacklist text records.
    (Usually hyper-links to the specific report.)

Requires
    A working Internet connection.
    (Exercise: Add check and/or abort if not on-line when running script.)
    Bash with arrays (2.05b+).

    The external program 'dig' --
    a utility program provided with the 'bind' set of programs.
    Specifically, the version which is part of Bind series 9.x
    See: http://www.isc.org

    All usages of 'dig' are limited to wrapper functions,
    which may be rewritten as required.
    See: dig_wrappers.bash for details.
         ("Additional documentation" -- below)

Usage
    Script requires a single argument, which may be:
    1) A domain name;
    2) An IP(v4) address;
    3) A filename, with one name or address per line.

    Script accepts an optional second argument, which may be:
    1) A Blacklist server name;
    2) A filename, with one Blacklist server name per line.

    If the second argument is not provided, the script uses
    a built-in set of (free) Blacklist servers.

    See also, the Quickstart at the end of this script (after 'exit').

Return Codes
    0 - All OK
    1 - Script failure
    2 - Something is Blacklisted

Optional environment variables
    SPAMMER_TRACE
        If set to a writable file,
        script will log an execution flow trace.

    SPAMMER_DATA
        If set to a writable file, script will dump its
        discovered data in the form of GraphViz file.
        See: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz

    SPAMMER_LIMIT
        Limits the depth of resource tracing.

        Default is 2 levels.

        A setting of 0 (zero) means 'unlimited' . . .
          Caution: script might recurse the whole Internet!

        A limit of 1 or 2 is most useful when processing
        a file of domain names and addresses.
        A higher limit can be useful when hunting spam gangs.

Study notes
    This script uses a large number of functions.
    Nearly all general functions have their own example script.
    Each of the example scripts have tutorial level comments.

Scripting project
    Add support for IP(v6) addresses.
    IP(v6) addresses are recognized but not processed.

Advanced project
    Add the reverse lookup detail to the discovered information.

    Report the delegation chain and abuse contacts.

    Modify the GraphViz file output to include the
    newly discovered information.

    cat <<-'_usage_statement_'
    The script is_spammer.bash requires either one or two arguments.

    arg 1) May be one of:
        a) A domain name
        b) An IPv4 address
        c) The name of a file with any mix of names
           and addresses, one per line.

    arg 2) May be one of:
        a) A Blacklist server domain name
        b) The name of a file with Blacklist server
           domain names, one per line.
        c) If not present, a default list of (free)
           Blacklist servers is used.
        d) If a filename of an empty, readable, file
           is given,
           Blacklist server lookup is disabled.

    All script output is written to stdout.

    Return codes: 0 -> All OK, 1 -> Script failure,
                  2 -> Something is Blacklisted.

    Requires the external program 'dig' from the 'bind-9'
    set of DNS programs.  See: http://www.isc.org

    The domain name lookup depth limit defaults to 2 levels.
    Set the environment variable SPAMMER_LIMIT to change.
    SPAMMER_LIMIT=0 means 'unlimited'

    Limit may also be set on the command-line.
    If arg#1 is an integer, the limit is set to that value
    and then the above argument rules are applied.

    Setting the environment variable 'SPAMMER_DATA' to a filename
    will cause the script to write a GraphViz graphic file.

    For the development version;
    Setting the environment variable 'SPAMMER_TRACE' to a filename
    will cause the execution engine to log a function call trace.

Quickstart
==========

 Prerequisites

  Bash version 2.05b or 3.00 (bash --version)
  A version of Bash which supports arrays. Array 
  support is included by default Bash configurations.

  'dig,' version 9.x.x (dig $HOSTNAME, see first line of output)
  A version of dig which supports the +short options. 
  See: dig_wrappers.bash for details.


 Optional Prerequisites

  'named,' a local DNS caching program. Any flavor will do.
  Do twice: dig $HOSTNAME 
  Check near bottom of output for: SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53
  That means you have one running.


 Optional Graphics Support

  'date,' a standard *nix thing. (date -R)

  dot Program to convert graphic description file to a 
  diagram. (dot -V)
  A part of the Graph-Viz set of programs.
  See: [http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz||GraphViz]

  'dotty,' a visual editor for graphic description files.
  Also a part of the Graph-Viz set of programs.




 Quick Start

In the same directory as the is_spammer.bash script; 
Do: ./is_spammer.bash

 Usage Details

1. Blacklist server choices.

  (a) To use default, built-in list: Do nothing.

  (b) To use your own list: 

    i. Create a file with a single Blacklist server 
       domain name per line.

    ii. Provide that filename as the last argument to 
        the script.

  (c) To use a single Blacklist server: Last argument 
      to the script.

  (d) To disable Blacklist lookups:

    i. Create an empty file (touch spammer.nul)
       Your choice of filename.

    ii. Provide the filename of that empty file as the 
        last argument to the script.

2. Search depth limit.

  (a) To use the default value of 2: Do nothing.

  (b) To set a different limit: 
      A limit of 0 means: no limit.

    i. export SPAMMER_LIMIT=1
       or whatever limit you want.

    ii. OR provide the desired limit as the first 
       argument to the script.

3. Optional execution trace log.

  (a) To use the default setting of no log output: Do nothing.

  (b) To write an execution trace log:
      export SPAMMER_TRACE=spammer.log
      or whatever filename you want.

4. Optional graphic description file.

  (a) To use the default setting of no graphic file: Do nothing.

  (b) To write a Graph-Viz graphic description file:
      export SPAMMER_DATA=spammer.dot
      or whatever filename you want.

5. Where to start the search.

  (a) Starting with a single domain name:

    i. Without a command-line search limit: First 
       argument to script.

    ii. With a command-line search limit: Second 
        argument to script.

  (b) Starting with a single IP address:

    i. Without a command-line search limit: First 
       argument to script.

    ii. With a command-line search limit: Second 
        argument to script.

  (c) Starting with (mixed) multiple name(s) and/or address(es):
      Create a file with one name or address per line.
      Your choice of filename.

    i. Without a command-line search limit: Filename as 
       first argument to script.

    ii. With a command-line search limit: Filename as 
        second argument to script.

6. What to do with the display output.

  (a) To view display output on screen: Do nothing.

  (b) To save display output to a file: Redirect stdout to a filename.

  (c) To discard display output: Redirect stdout to /dev/null.

7. Temporary end of decision making. 
   press RETURN 
   wait (optionally, watch the dots and colons).

8. Optionally check the return code.

  (a) Return code 0: All OK

  (b) Return code 1: Script setup failure

  (c) Return code 2: Something was blacklisted.

9. Where is my graph (diagram)?

The script does not directly produce a graph (diagram). 
It only produces a graphic description file. You can 
process the graphic descriptor file that was output 
with the 'dot' program.

Until you edit that descriptor file, to describe the 
relationships you want shown, all that you will get is 
a bunch of labeled name and address nodes.

All of the script's discovered relationships are within 
a comment block in the graphic descriptor file, each 
with a descriptive heading.

The editing required to draw a line between a pair of 
nodes from the information in the descriptor file may 
be done with a text editor. 

Given these lines somewhere in the descriptor file:

# Known domain name nodes

N0000 [label="guardproof.info."] ;

N0002 [label="third.guardproof.info."] ;



# Known address nodes

A0000 [label="61.141.32.197"] ;



/*

# Known name->address edges

NA0000 third.guardproof.info. 61.141.32.197



# Known parent->child edges

PC0000 guardproof.info. third.guardproof.info.

 */

Turn that into the following lines by substituting node 
identifiers into the relationships:

# Known domain name nodes

N0000 [label="guardproof.info."] ;

N0002 [label="third.guardproof.info."] ;



# Known address nodes

A0000 [label="61.141.32.197"] ;



# PC0000 guardproof.info. third.guardproof.info.

N0000->N0002 ;



# NA0000 third.guardproof.info. 61.141.32.197

N0002->A0000 ;



/*

# Known name->address edges

NA0000 third.guardproof.info. 61.141.32.197



# Known parent->child edges

PC0000 guardproof.info. third.guardproof.info.

 */

Process that with the 'dot' program, and you have your 
first network diagram.

In addition to the conventional graphic edges, the 
descriptor file includes similar format pair-data that 
describes services, zone records (sub-graphs?), 
blacklisted addresses, and other things which might be 
interesting to include in your graph. This additional 
information could be displayed as different node 
shapes, colors, line sizes, etc.

The descriptor file can also be read and edited by a 
Bash script (of course). You should be able to find 
most of the functions required within the 
"is_spammer.bash" script.
