richkit v1.1.1 releases: Domain analysis toolkit
Richkit
Richkit is a python3 package that provides tools taking a domain name as input and returns additional information on that domain. It can be an analysis of the domain itself, looked up from data-bases, retrieved from other services, or some combination thereof.
The purpose of richkit is to provide a reusable library of domain name-related analysis, lookups, and retrieval functions, that are shared within the Network Security research group at Aalborg University, and also available to the public for reuse and modification.
Modules
Richkit defines a set of functions categorized by the following modules:
richkit.analyse
: This module provides functions that can be applied to a domain name. Similarly torichkit.lookup
, and in contrast torichkit.retrieve
, this is done without disclosing the domain name to third parties and breaching confidentiality.richkit.lookup
: This modules provides the ability to look up domain names in local resources, i.e. the domain name cannot be sent of to third parties. The module might fetch resources, such as lists or databases, but this must be done in a way that keeps the domain name confidential. Contrast this withrichkit.retrieve
.richkit.retrieve
: This module provides the ability to retrieve data on domain names of any sort. It comes without the “confidentiality contract” ofrichkit.lookup
.
