These scripts, while not fitting into the text of this document, do illustrate some interesting shell programming techniques. Some are useful, too. Have fun analyzing and running them.
Example A-1. mailformat: Formatting an e-mail message

Distinguishing files by their name is just so 20th Century. The content is distinguished by computing a checksum of that content. This version uses the md5sum program to generate a 128 bit checksum representative of the file's contents. There is a chance that two files having different content might generate the same checksum using md5sum (or any checksum). Should that become a problem, then the use of md5sum can be replace by a cyrptographic signature. But until then... The md5sum program is documented as outputting three fields (and it does), but when read it appears as two fields (array elements). This is caused by the lack of whitespace between the second and third field.

Application code: goto "# # # Hunt the Spammer' program code # # #" Example output: ":<<-'_is_spammer_outputs_'" How to use: Enter script name without arguments. Or goto "Quickstart" at end of script. Provides Given a domain name or IP(v4) address as input: Does an exhaustive set of queries to find the associated network resources (short of recursing into TLDs). Checks the IP(v4) addresses found against Blacklist nameservers. If found to be a blacklisted IP(v4) address, reports the blacklist text records. (Usually hyper-links to the specific report.) Requires A working Internet connection. (Exercise: Add check and/or abort if not on-line when running script.) Bash with arrays (2.05b+). The external program 'dig' -- a utility program provided with the 'bind' set of programs. Specifically, the version which is part of Bind series 9.x See: http://www.isc.org All usages of 'dig' are limited to wrapper functions, which may be rewritten as required. See: dig_wrappers.bash for details. ("Additional documentation" -- below) Usage Script requires a single argument, which may be: 1) A domain name; 2) An IP(v4) address; 3) A filename, with one name or address per line. Script accepts an optional second argument, which may be: 1) A Blacklist server name; 2) A filename, with one Blacklist server name per line. If the second argument is not provided, the script uses a built-in set of (free) Blacklist servers. See also, the Quickstart at the end of this script (after 'exit'). Return Codes 0 - All OK 1 - Script failure 2 - Something is Blacklisted Optional environment variables SPAMMER_TRACE If set to a writable file, script will log an execution flow trace. SPAMMER_DATA If set to a writable file, script will dump its discovered data in the form of GraphViz file. See: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz SPAMMER_LIMIT Limits the depth of resource tracing. Default is 2 levels. A setting of 0 (zero) means 'unlimited' . . . Caution: script might recurse the whole Internet! A limit of 1 or 2 is most useful when processing a file of domain names and addresses. A higher limit can be useful when hunting spam gangs.

Nearly all general functions have their own example script. Each of the example scripts have tutorial level comments. Scripting project Add support for IP(v6) addresses. IP(v6) addresses are recognized but not processed. Advanced project Add the reverse lookup detail to the discovered information. Report the delegation chain and abuse contacts.

All script output is written to stdout. Return codes: 0 -> All OK, 1 -> Script failure, 2 -> Something is Blacklisted. Requires the external program 'dig' from the 'bind-9' set of DNS programs. See: http://www.isc.org The domain name lookup depth limit defaults to 2 levels. Set the environment variable SPAMMER_LIMIT to change. SPAMMER_LIMIT=0 means 'unlimited' Limit may also be set on the command-line. If arg#1 is an integer, the limit is set to that value and then the above argument rules are applied. Setting the environment variable 'SPAMMER_DATA' to a filename will cause the script to write a GraphViz graphic file. For the development version; Setting the environment variable 'SPAMMER_TRACE' to a filename will cause the execution engine to log a function call trace. _usage_statement_ } # The default list of Blacklist servers: # Many choices, see: http://www.spews.org/lists.html declare -a default_servers # See: http://www.spamhaus.org (Conservative, well maintained) default_servers[0]='sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org' # See: http://ordb.org (Open mail relays) default_servers[1]='relays.ordb.org' # See: http://www.spamcop.net/ (You can report spammers here) default_servers[2]='bl.spamcop.net' # See: http://www.spews.org (An 'early detect' system) default_servers[3]='l2.spews.dnsbl.sorbs.net' # See: http://www.dnsbl.us.sorbs.net/using.shtml default_servers[4]='dnsbl.sorbs.net' # See: http://dsbl.org/usage (Various mail relay lists) default_servers[5]='list.dsbl.org' default_servers[6]='multihop.dsbl.org' default_servers[7]='unconfirmed.dsbl.org' # User input argument #1 setup_input() { if [ -e ${1} ] && [ -r ${1} ] # Name of readable file then file_to_array ${1} uc_name echo 'Using filename >'${1}'< as input.' else if is_address ${1} # IP address?

Array support is included by default Bash configurations. 'dig,' version 9.x.x (dig $HOSTNAME, see first line of output) A version of dig which supports the +short options. See: dig_wrappers.bash for details. Optional Prerequisites 'named,' a local DNS caching program. Any flavor will do. Do twice: dig $HOSTNAME Check near bottom of output for: SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53 That means you have one running. Optional Graphics Support 'date,' a standard *nix thing. (date -R) dot Program to convert graphic description file to a diagram. (dot -V) A part of the Graph-Viz set of programs. See: [http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz||GraphViz] 'dotty,' a visual editor for graphic description files. Also a part of the Graph-Viz set of programs. Quick Start In the same directory as the is_spammer.bash script; Do: ./is_spammer.bash Usage Details 1. Blacklist server choices. (a) To use default, built-in list: Do nothing. (b) To use your own list: i. Create a file with a single Blacklist server domain name per line. ii. Provide that filename as the last argument to the script. (c) To use a single Blacklist server: Last argument to the script. (d) To disable Blacklist lookups: i. Create an empty file (touch spammer.nul) Your choice of filename. ii. Provide the filename of that empty file as the last argument to the script. 2. Search depth limit. (a) To use the default value of 2: Do nothing. (b) To set a different limit: A limit of 0 means: no limit. i. export SPAMMER_LIMIT=1 or whatever limit you want. ii. OR provide the desired limit as the first argument to the script. 3. Optional execution trace log. (a) To use the default setting of no log output: Do nothing. (b) To write an execution trace log: export SPAMMER_TRACE=spammer.log or whatever filename you want. 4. Optional graphic description file. (a) To use the default setting of no graphic file: Do nothing. (b) To write a Graph-Viz graphic description file: export SPAMMER_DATA=spammer.dot or whatever filename you want. 5. Where to start the search. (a) Starting with a single domain name: i. Without a command-line search limit: First argument to script. ii. With a command-line search limit: Second argument to script. (b) Starting with a single IP address: i. Without a command-line search limit: First argument to script. ii. With a command-line search limit: Second argument to script. (c) Starting with (mixed) multiple name(s) and/or address(es): Create a file with one name or address per line. Your choice of filename. i. Without a command-line search limit: Filename as first argument to script. ii. With a command-line search limit: Filename as second argument to script. 6. What to do with the display output. (a) To view display output on screen: Do nothing. (b) To save display output to a file: Redirect stdout to a filename. (c) To discard display output: Redirect stdout to /dev/null. 7. Temporary end of decision making. press RETURN wait (optionally, watch the dots and colons). 8. Optionally check the return code. (a) Return code 0: All OK (b) Return code 1: Script setup failure (c) Return code 2: Something was blacklisted. 9. Where is my graph (diagram)? The script does not directly produce a graph (diagram). It only produces a graphic description file. You can process the graphic descriptor file that was output with the 'dot' program. Until you edit that descriptor file, to describe the relationships you want shown, all that you will get is a bunch of labeled name and address nodes. All of the script's discovered relationships are within a comment block in the graphic descriptor file, each with a descriptive heading. The editing required to draw a line between a pair of nodes from the information in the descriptor file may be done with a text editor. Given these lines somewhere in the descriptor file: # Known domain name nodes N0000 [label="guardproof.info."] ; N0002 [label="third.guardproof.info."] ; # Known address nodes A0000 [label="61.141.32.197"] ; /* # Known name->address edges NA0000 third.guardproof.info. 61.141.32.197 # Known parent->child edges PC0000 guardproof.info. third.guardproof.info. */ Turn that into the following lines by substituting node identifiers into the relationships: # Known domain name nodes N0000 [label="guardproof.info."] ; N0002 [label="third.guardproof.info."] ; # Known address nodes A0000 [label="61.141.32.197"] ; # PC0000 guardproof.info. third.guardproof.info. N0000->N0002 ; # NA0000 third.guardproof.info. 61.141.32.197 N0002->A0000 ; /* # Known name->address edges NA0000 third.guardproof.info. 61.141.32.197 # Known parent->child edges PC0000 guardproof.info. third.guardproof.info. */ Process that with the 'dot' program, and you have your first network diagram. In addition to the conventional graphic edges, the descriptor file includes similar format pair-data that describes services, zone records (sub-graphs?), blacklisted addresses, and other things which might be interesting to include in your graph. This additional information could be displayed as different node shapes, colors, line sizes, etc. The descriptor file can also be read and edited by a Bash script (of course). You should be able to find most of the functions required within the "is_spammer.bash" script. # End Quickstart.

Minor stylistic edits and cleanups by author of ABS Guide. # Added exit error codes. # 22/11/2004. Finished initial version of second version of wgetter: # wgetter2 is born. # 01/12/2004. Changed 'runn' function so it can be run 2 ways -- # either ask for a file name or have one input on the CL. # 01/12/2004. Made sensible handling of no URL's given. # 01/12/2004. Made loop of main options, so you don't # have to keep calling wgetter 2 all the time. # Runs as a session instead. # 01/12/2004. Added looping to 'runn' function. # Simplified and improved. # 01/12/2004. Added state to recursion setting. # Enables re-use of previous value. # 05/12/2004. Modified the file detection routine in the 'runn' function # so it's not fooled by empty values, and is cleaner. # 01/02/2004.

This version of cdll has been tested on Linux using Bash. It will work on most Linux versions but will probably not work on other shells without modification. Introduction ============ cdll allows easy moving about between directories. When changing to a new directory the current one is automatically put onto a stack. By default 50 entries are kept, but this is configurable. Special directories can be kept for easy access - by default up to 10, but this is configurable. The most recent stack entries and the special entries can be easily viewed. The directory stack and special entries can be saved to, and loaded from, a file. This allows them to be set up on login, saved before logging out or changed when moving project to project. In addition, cdll provides a flexible command prompt facility that allows, for example, a directory name in colour that is truncated from the left if it gets too long. Setting up cdll =============== Copy cdll to either your local home directory or a central directory such as /usr/bin (this will require root access). Copy the file cdfile to your home directory. It will require read and write access. This a default file that contains a directory stack and special entries. To replace the cd command you must add commands to your login script. The login script is one or more of: /etc/profile ~/.bash_profile ~/.bash_login ~/.profile ~/.bashrc /etc/bash.bashrc.local To setup your login, ~/.bashrc is recommended, for global (and root) setup add the commands to /etc/bash.bashrc.local To set up on login, add the command: . <dir>/cdll For example if cdll is in your local home directory: . ~/cdll If in /usr/bin then: . /usr/bin/cdll If you want to use this instead of the buitin cd command then add: alias cd='cd_new' We would also recommend the following commands: alias @='cd_new @' cd -U cd -D If you want to use cdll's prompt facilty then add the following: CDL_PROMPTLEN=nn Where nn is a number described below. Initially 99 would be suitable number. Thus the script looks something like this: ###################################################################### # CD Setup ###################################################################### CDL_PROMPTLEN=21 # Allow a prompt length of up to 21 characters . /usr/bin/cdll # Initialise cdll alias cd='cd_new' # Replace the built in cd command alias @='cd_new @' # Allow @ at the prompt to display history cd -U # Upload directories cd -D # Set default action to non-posix ###################################################################### The full meaning of these commands will become clear later. There are a couple of caveats. If another program changes the directory without calling cdll, then the directory won't be put on the stack and also if the prompt facility is used then this will not be updated. Two programs that can do this are pushd and popd. To update the prompt and stack simply enter: cd . Note that if the previous entry on the stack is the current directory then the stack is not updated. Usage ===== cd [dir] [0-9] [@[s|h] [-g <dir>] [-d] [-D] [-r<n>] [dir|0-9] [-R<n>] [<dir>|0-9] [-s<n>] [-S<n>] [-u] [-U] [-f] [-F] [-h] [-H] [-v] <dir> Go to directory 0-n Goto previous directory (0 is previous, 1 is last but 1, etc.) n is up to max history (default is 50) @ List history and special entries (Usually available as $ @) @h List history entries @s List special entries -g [<dir>] Go to literal name (bypass special names) This is to allow access to dirs called '0','1','-h' etc -d Change default action - verbose. (See note) -D Change default action - silent. (See note) -s<n> Go to the special entry <n> -S<n> Go to the special entry <n> and replace it with the current dir -r<n> [<dir>] Go to directory <dir> and then put it on special entry <n> -R<n> [<dir>] Go to directory <dir> and put current dir on special entry <n> -a<n> Alternative suggested directory. See note below. -f [<file>] File entries to <file>. -u [<file>] Update entries from <file>. If no filename supplied then default file (~/cdfile) is used -F and -U are silent versions -v Print version number -h Help -H Detailed help Examples ======== These examples assume non-default mode is set (that is, cd with no parameters will go to the most recent stack directory), that aliases have been set up for cd and @ as described above and that cd's prompt facility is active and the prompt length is 21 characters. /home/phil$ @ # List the entries with the @ History: # Output of the @ command ..... # Skipped these entries for brevity 1 /home/phil/ummdev S1 /home/phil/perl # Most recent two history entries 0 /home/phil/perl/eg S0 /home/phil/umm/ummdev # and two special entries are shown /home/phil$ cd /home/phil/utils/Cdll # Now change directories /home/phil/utils/Cdll$ @ # Prompt reflects the directory. History: # New history ..... 1 /home/phil/perl/eg S1 /home/phil/perl # History entry 0 has moved to 1 0 /home/phil S0 /home/phil/umm/ummdev # and the most recent has entered To go to a history entry: /home/phil/utils/Cdll$ cd 1 # Go to history entry 1. /home/phil/perl/eg$ # Current directory is now what was 1 To go to a special entry: /home/phil/perl/eg$ cd -s1 # Go to special entry 1 /home/phil/umm/ummdev$ # Current directory is S1 To go to a directory called, for example, 1: /home/phil$ cd -g 1 # -g ignores the special meaning of 1 /home/phil/1$ To put current directory on the special list as S1: cd -r1 . # OR cd -R1 . # These have the same effect if the directory is #+ . (the current directory) To go to a directory and add it as a special The directory for -r<n> or -R<n> may be a number. For example: $ cd -r3 4 Go to history entry 4 and put it on special entry 3 $ cd -R3 4 Put current dir on the special entry 3 and go to history entry 4 $ cd -s3 Go to special entry 3 Note that commands R,r,S and s may be used without a number and refer to 0: $ cd -s Go to special entry 0 $ cd -S Go to special entry 0 and make special entry 0 current dir $ cd -r 1 Go to history entry 1 and put it on special entry 0 $ cd -r Go to history entry 0 and put it on special entry 0 Alternative suggested directories: If a directory is not found, then CD will suggest any possibilities. These are directories starting with the same letters and if any are found they are listed prefixed with -a<n> where <n> is a number. It's possible to go to the directory by entering cd -a<n> on the command line. Use cd -d or -D to change default cd action. cd -H will show current action. The history entries (0-n) are stored in the environment variables CD[0] - CD[n] Similarly the special directories S0 - 9 are in the environment variable CDS[0] - CDS[9] and may be accessed from the command line, for example: ls -l ${CDS[3]} cat ${CD[8]}/file.txt The default pathname for the -f and -u commands is ~ The default filename for the -f and -u commands is cdfile Configuration ============= The following environment variables can be set: CDL_PROMPTLEN - Set to the length of prompt you require. Prompt string is set to the right characters of the current directory. If not set, then prompt is left unchanged. Note that this is the number of characters that the directory is shortened to, not the total characters in the prompt. CDL_PROMPT_PRE - Set to the string to prefix the prompt. Default is: non-root: "\\[\\e[01;34m\\]" (sets colour to blue). root: "\\[\\e[01;31m\\]" (sets colour to red). CDL_PROMPT_POST - Set to the string to suffix the prompt. Default is: non-root: "\\[\\e[00m\\]$" (resets colour and displays $). root: "\\[\\e[00m\\]#" (resets colour and displays #). Note: CDL_PROMPT_PRE & _POST only t CDPath - Set the default path for the -f & -u options. Default is home directory CDFile - Set the default filename for the -f & -u options. Default is cdfile There are three variables defined in the file cdll which control the number of entries stored or displayed. They are in the section labeled 'Initialisation here' towards the end of the file. cd_maxhistory - The number of history entries stored. Default is 50. cd_maxspecial - The number of special entries allowed. Default is 9. cd_histcount - The number of history and special entries displayed. Default is 9. Note that cd_maxspecial should be >= cd_histcount to avoid displaying special entries that can't be set. Version: 1.2.1 Date: 24-MAY-2003 DOCUMENTATION |

The rules are the same, but the scoring is simplified and plurals of previously played words are allowed. "Vulnerable" play is not yet implemented, but it is otherwise feature-complete. As the game begins, the player gets 10 letters. The object is to construct valid dictionary words of at least 3-letter length from the letterset. Each word-length category -- 3-letter, 4-letter, 5-letter, ... -- fills up with the fifth word entered, and no further words in that category are accepted. The penalty for too-short (two-letter), duplicate, unconstructable, and invalid (not in dictionary) words is -200. The same penalty applies to attempts to enter a word in a filled-up category. INSTRUCTION1 echo -n "Hit ENTER for next page of instructions. "; read az1 cat <<INSTRUCTION2 The scoring mostly corresponds to classic Perquackey: The first 3-letter word scores 60, plus 10 for each additional one. The first 4-letter word scores 120, plus 20 for each additional one. The first 5-letter word scores 200, plus 50 for each additional one. The first 6-letter word scores 300, plus 100 for each additional one. The first 7-letter word scores 500, plus 150 for each additional one. The first 8-letter word scores 750, plus 250 for each additional one. The first 9-letter word scores 1000, plus 500 for each additional one. The first 10-letter word scores 2000, plus 2000 for each additional one. Category completion bonuses are: 3-letter words 100 4-letter words 200 5-letter words 400 6-letter words 800 7-letter words 2000 8-letter words 10000 This is a simplification of the absurdly baroque Perquackey bonus scoring system.

This particular variant starts with five rows of pegs. 1: | | | | | 2: | | | | 3: | | | 4: | | 5: | The number at the left identifies the row. The human player moves first, and alternates turns with the bot. A turn consists of removing at least one peg from a single row. It is permissable to remove ALL the pegs from a row. For example, in row 2, above, the player can remove 1, 2, 3, or 4 pegs. The player who removes the last peg loses. The strategy consists of trying to be the one who removes the next-to-last peg(s), leaving the loser with the final peg. To exit the game early, hit ENTER during your turn.
