analyzer-d4-passivedns version 0.5 released as standalone passive DNS server with new COF stream collector

analyzer-d4-passivedns is an analyzer for a D4 network sensor including a complete Passive DNS server. The analyser can process data produced by D4 sensors (in passivedns CSV format (more to come)) or independently from D4 using COF websocket streams.

A new version of analyzer-d4-passivedns has been released which includes:

• Feeding from COF websocket stream (independently of D4 collection). A sample COF stream (newly seen IPv6 addresses and DNS records) is included in the documentation and kindly provided by CIRCL.
• Add new back-end for large Passive DNS server kvrocks instead of redis

First version of the D4 passive DNS analyzer

Features of the analyzer-d4-passivedns version 0.1

• A dedicated Passive DNS analyzer for D4 client (passive dns client type 8) to ingest passive DNS records into a Passive DNS COF server
• analyzer can filter out records coming from D4 sensors (such as specific types or records)
• analyzer can set an expiration time for specific DNS record type (to expire common data that should be removed from the Passive DNS after a specific time)
• A Passive DNS server supporting a REST API has been added to allow query and output of the Passive DNS records in COF format.
• A simple PDNS injector to reinject Passive DNS records in COF format (from other Passive DNS server) into the Passive DNS server.
