m-whois is a small python whois search module capable of finding multiple available domains via a file or list type. It's a good way to search for domains that are available to buy. (http://jrosco.github.io/mwhois)

Dependencies

• Python >= 2.7.3 (Python 3 not supported yet) Download from http://www.python.org/download/
• To use the proxy feature you'll need the pysocks module installed. Download from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PySocks/

Features

• Search for single/multiple domains with direct connection to a large list of whois servers
• Show only available domains
• 100+ searchable TLDS
• 30+ gTLDS e.g .graphics, .guru, .technology, .today etc
• Search second whois server if first one fails (limited to certain tld's)
• Connect to whois server via a proxy

Features to come

• TODO: Caching results for quicker responses and avoid exceeding query limits
• TODO: Print results to csv and pdf

Install

1. Clone repo(requires git to be installed): git clone https://github.com/jrosco/mwhois.git mwhois or Download Zip File to the right (https://github.com/jrosco/mwhois/archive/master.zip)
2. If you downloaded zip file ("unzip mwhois-master.zip" and "cd mwhois-master/src"
3. If you used git clone ("cd mwhois/")
4. Now Run: python setup.py install (you'll need correct permissions to install module. For linux use the sudo command)
5. See examples below on how to use this these modules (These are also shown in examples/examples.py)

Examples

Search for single domain python examples/cmd.py github.com

Search for multiple domains using one liner wordlist python examples/cmd.py -t com -i files/wordlist-sample

You can also run a sample GUI using the default TkInter module python examples/GUI/mgui.py

You can find a mature application built around this module here http://sourceforge.net/projects/xwh0i5/
