strongarm-msdns

strongarm-msdns is STRONGARM's Microsoft DNS integration that updates DNS zones according to the list of blackholed domains provided by the STRONGARM API.

features

• fetch blackholed domains from STRONGARM API through stronglib.
• create DNS zones in Microsoft DNS to blackhole domains
• reload existing blackholed domains to different blackhole IP

installation

strongarm-msdns is still in beta. We plan to provide a pre-built Windows installer to make the installation process easy. In the meantime:

1. Install Python and pywin32.
2. Install the latest development version of strongarm-msdns directly from GitHub using pip:

$ pip install --upgrade https://github.com/percipient/strongarm-msdns/tarball/master

usage

We plan to provide a Windows service that runs the updater automatically. In the meantime, you can run the updater manually in Python on a Microsoft DNS server with WMI enabled:

from strongarm_msdns import MicrosoftDnsUpdater

# Initialize updater with blackhole IP.
dns_updater = MicrosoftDnsUpdater('127.0.0.1')

# Run the updater with STRONGARM API key.
dns_updater.run(your_key)

DNS zones will be created for all domains fetched from the STRONGARM API. The call returns a list of domain names that failed to be blackholed.
