TrustTrees

A Tool for DNS Delegation Trust Graphing

PyPI version PRs Welcome Tor Python 3.8

Summary

TrustTrees is a script to recursively follow all the possible delegation paths for a target domain and graph the relationships between various nameservers along the way. TrustTrees also allows you to view where errors occurred in this chain such as DNS REFUSED, NXDOMAIN, and other errors. Finally, the tool also comes with the ability to scan enumerated nameservers for expired base-domains which may allow for domain takeovers and hijacking of the target domain.

The purpose of this tool is to allow domain owners to verify that their domain's DNS is set up properly and is not vulnerable.

Installation

In a Python 3 environment do:

$ pip install TrustTrees
✨🍰✨

Example Usage:

(env)bash-3.2$ trusttrees --target example.com --open

Example Generated Graph With Errors in DNS Chain

ticonsultores.biz.ni

The above graph is a good example of a domain with many DNS errors in its delegation chain. Some of these issues are not even the fault of the domain owner but rather are issues with the upstream TLD. Depending on the configuration of the DNS resolver, the round robin order, and the error tolerance of the DNS resolver, resolution of this domain may or may not succeed.

Command-Line Options

(env)bash-3.2$ trusttrees --help
usage: trusttrees (-t TARGET_HOSTNAME | -l TARGET_HOSTNAMES_LIST) [-o]
                  [--only-problematic] [--no-graphing] [-x EXPORT_FORMATS]

In order to use the domain-check functionality to look for domain takeovers via expired-domain registration you must have a Gandi production API key, AWS keys with the route53domains:CheckDomainAvailability IAM permission, or a DNSimple access token. AWS uses Gandi behind the scenes. Click here to sign up for a Gandi account.

Graph Nodes/Edges Documentation

Nodes

  • White Nameserver Nodes: These are nameservers which have delegated the query to another nameserver and have not responded authoritatively to the query.
  • Blue Nameserver Nodes: These are nameservers which have answered authoritatively to the query.
  • Red Nameserver Nodes: These are nameservers which were found to have no IP address associated with them. They are essentially dead-ends because the resolver has no way to send queries to them.
  • Yellow DNS Error Nodes: These are DNS errors which occurred while recursing the DNS chain.
  • Orange Domain Unregistered Nodes: These nodes indicate that the base domain for the nameserver is reported by Gandi to be unregistered. This can mean the domain can be registered and the DNS hijacked!

Edges

  • Dashed gray lines: This means that the query response was not authoritative.
  • Solid blue lines: This means the query response was authoritative.
  • Solid black lines: (or it links to an error/domain registered node).
