Small powerful script to dump all .com's & their status into a db


Question

Hi all,

Thought this might be useful to someone, so I'm releasing it into the wild! It creates a database that looks like this:

post-176093-0-87487100-1322016228.png

Mod's: this is completely above-board... WHOIS is provided by InterNIC via port 43 for unlimited free lookups.

Enjoy! :D

CREATE TABLE `domains` (
  `domain` varchar(6) NOT NULL,
  `len` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `available` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `expires` date NOT NULL,
  `checked` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY (`domain`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

<?php
set_time_limit(0);

$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'foo';
$dbpass = 'bar';
$dbname = 'whois';

$dh = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);
mysql_select_db($dbname);
for($i = 'aaa'; $i <= 'zzzz'; $i++)
{
$len = strlen($i);
if($conn = fsockopen ('whois.internic.net', 43))
{
  $output = NULL;
  fputs($conn, "domain $i.com\r\n");
  while(!feof($conn))
  {
   $output .= fgets($conn, 128);
  }
  fclose($conn);
}
if(strpos($output, 'No match for domain') !== FALSE)
  mysql_query("INSERT INTO `domains` VALUES ('$i', '$len', 1, '0000-00-00', NULL);") or die($i . ' - ' .mysql_error());
else
{
  preg_match('/Expiration Date: (.+?)\n/', $output, $expires);
  $expires = strtotime($expires[1]);
  $expires = date('Y-m-d', $expires);
  mysql_query("INSERT INTO `domains` VALUES ('$i', '$len', 0, '$expires', NULL);") or die($i . ' - ' .mysql_error());
}
}
mysql_close($dh);
?>

Well this script finally finished going from aaa to zzzz in about 36 hours. None of the domains were available, but around 1500 of them have expired. I've attached the list of expired .com domains in Excel format if anyone wants it. Can't upload any file ending .csv, .xls, or .xlsx - wtf Neowin?!

They first go into a period of redemption, where the original owner can claim them back for about 80 days after it expires. Then they go into pendingDelete, and 5 calendar days later, they're free to whoever can claim them first!

Oh, and you can query any of these WHOIS servers via port 43:

Something like below... I don't have a domain I know is pending delete to test this on, but whatever it comes up with in the whois record should be where I've put 'pendingDelete' :)

if(strpos($output, 'No match for domain') !== FALSE)
  mysql_query("INSERT INTO `domains` VALUES ('$i', '$len', 1, '0000-00-00', NULL);") or die($i . ' - ' .mysql_error());
elseif(strpos($output, 'pendingDelete') !== FALSE)
  mysql_query("INSERT INTO `domains` VALUES ('$i', '$len', 2, '$expires', NULL);") or die($i . ' - ' .mysql_error());
else
{
  preg_match('/Expiration Date: (.+?)\n/', $output, $expires);
  $expires = strtotime($expires[1]);
  $expires = date('Y-m-d', $expires);
  mysql_query("INSERT INTO `domains` VALUES ('$i', '$len', 0, '$expires', NULL);") or die($i . ' - ' .mysql_error());
}

Hi Alex,

How can I modify the script to search just for the domains with PendingDelete value? I mean to not search for all domains from "a" to "aaa..." but just for all the domains in the registrar database that have the Pending Delete value.

It is consuming too many resurces to go thru all the domain letter combinations. Can the script identify directly just the PendingDelete domains?

Thanks,

Dan

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
    • Gotta' buy that there Rufus guy a beer if I ever meet him. He makes good stuff.
