# PTRStream
|
|
> High-performance distributed PTR record scanner with real-time streaming output
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PTRStream is a fast and efficient PTR record scanner designed for distributed scanning operations. It uses a Linear Congruential Generator *(LCG)* for deterministic IP generation, allowing for easy distribution of work across multiple machines while maintaining pseudo-random ordering.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Memory-efficient IP range processing using [GoLCG](https://github.com/acidvegas/golcg)
|
|
- Distributed scanning support via sharding
|
|
- Real-time NDJSON output for streaming to data pipelines
|
|
- Support for both PTR and CNAME records
|
|
- Automatic DNS server rotation from public resolvers
|
|
- Progress tracking with detailed statistics
|
|
- Colorized terminal output
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go install github.com/acidvegas/ptrstream@latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
| Flag | Type | Default | Description |
|
|
|----------|----------|---------|--------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `-c` | `int` | `100` | Concurrency level |
|
|
| `-debug` | `bool` | `false` | Show unsuccessful lookups |
|
|
| `-dns` | `string` | | File containing DNS servers |
|
|
| `-o` | `string` | | Path to NDJSON output file |
|
|
| `-r` | `int` | `2` | Number of retries for failed lookups |
|
|
| `-s` | `int` | `0` | Seed for IP generation *(0 for random)* |
|
|
| `-shard` | `string` | | Shard specification *(index/total format)* |
|
|
| `-t` | `int` | `2` | Timeout for DNS queries |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Basic usage
|
|
ptrstream -o output.json
|
|
|
|
# Use specific DNS servers
|
|
ptrstream -dns resolvers.txt -o output.json
|
|
|
|
# Increase concurrency
|
|
ptrstream -c 200 -o output.json
|
|
|
|
# Distributed scanning (4 machines)
|
|
# Machine 1:
|
|
ptrstream -shard 1/4 -s 12345 -o shard1.json
|
|
# Machine 2:
|
|
ptrstream -shard 2/4 -s 12345 -o shard2.json
|
|
# Machine 3:
|
|
ptrstream -shard 3/4 -s 12345 -o shard3.json
|
|
# Machine 4:
|
|
ptrstream -shard 4/4 -s 12345 -o shard4.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Distributed Scanning
|
|
|
|
PTRStream supports distributed scanning through its sharding system. By using the same seed value across multiple instances with different shard specifications, you can distribute the workload across multiple machines while ensuring:
|
|
|
|
- No IP address is scanned twice
|
|
- Even distribution of work
|
|
- Deterministic results
|
|
- Pseudo-random scanning patterns
|
|
|
|
For example, to split the work across 4 machines:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Each machine uses the same seed but different shard
|
|
ptrstream -shard 1/4 -s 12345 # Machine 1
|
|
ptrstream -shard 2/4 -s 12345 # Machine 2
|
|
ptrstream -shard 3/4 -s 12345 # Machine 3
|
|
ptrstream -shard 4/4 -s 12345 # Machine 4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Real-time Data Pipeline Integration
|
|
|
|
PTRStream outputs NDJSON *(Newline Delimited JSON)* format, making it perfect for real-time data pipeline integration. Each line contains a complete JSON record with:
|
|
|
|
- Timestamp
|
|
- IP Address
|
|
- DNS Server used
|
|
- Record Type *(PTR/CNAME)*
|
|
- PTR Record
|
|
- CNAME Target *(if applicable)*
|
|
- TTL Value
|
|
|
|
Example using named pipe to Elasticsearch:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Create a named pipe
|
|
mkfifo /tmp/ptrstream
|
|
|
|
# Start Elasticsearch ingestion in background
|
|
cat /tmp/ptrstream | elasticsearch-bulk-import &
|
|
|
|
# Run PTRStream with pipe output
|
|
ptrstream -o /tmp/ptrstream
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## CNAME Support
|
|
|
|
PTRStream properly handles CNAME records in PTR responses, providing:
|
|
- Detection of CNAME chains
|
|
- Original hostname and target tracking
|
|
- TTL values for both record types
|
|
- Distinct coloring in terminal output
|
|
- CNAME statistics tracking
|
|
|
|
Example NDJSON output:
|
|
```json
|
|
{"timestamp":"2024-01-05T12:34:56Z","ip_addr":"1.2.3.4","dns_server":"8.8.8.8","ptr_record":"example.com","record_type":"PTR","ttl":3600}
|
|
{"timestamp":"2024-01-05T12:34:57Z","ip_addr":"5.6.7.8","dns_server":"1.1.1.1","ptr_record":"original.com","record_type":"CNAME","target":"target.com","ttl":600}
|
|
```
