How to Install

    git clone https://github.com/atenreiro/opensquat
    pip install -r requirements.txt

Make sure you have Python 3.6+ and pip3 in your environment

How to Update

:warning: when updating: especially for a major release, re-run the pip install to check for new dependencies.

To update your current version, just type the following commands inside the openSquat directory:

    git pull
    pip install -r requirements.txt

The "pip install" is just to make sure no new libs were added with the new upgrade.

Usage Examples

Edit the "keywords.txt" with your customised keywords to hunt.

    # Lazy run with default options
    python opensquat.py

    # for all the options
    python opensquat.py -h
    
    # Search for generic terms used in phishing campaigns (can lead to false-positives)
    python opensquat.py -k generic.txt

    # With DNS validation (quad9)
    python opensquat.py --dns
    
    # Subdomain search
    python opensquat.py --subdomains
    
    # Check for domains with open ports 80/443
    python opensquat.py --portcheck

    # With Phishing validation (Phishing Database)
    python opensquat.py --phishing phish_results.txt

    # Save output as JSON
    python opensquat.py -o example.json -t json

    # Save output as CSV
    python opensquat.py -o example.csv -t csv

    # Conduct a certificate transparency (ct) hunt
    python opensquat.py --ct

    # Period search - registrations from the last month (default: day)
    python opensquat.py -p month

    # Tweak confidence level. The lower values bring more false positives
    # (0: very high, 1: high (default), 2: medium, 3: low, 4: very low
    python opensquat.py -c 2

    # All validations options
    python opensquat.py --phishing phishing_domains.txt --dns --ct --subdomains --portcheck

Automations & Integrations

You can set up openSquat to run automatically using a task scheduler (such as crontab for Linux) to generate a new list of results daily.

We update our feeds with a fresh new list of domains every day around 7.30 am (UTC+0 / GMT+0)

# Crontab example - run openSquat every day at 8 am
# In this example, the results are saved to a JSON file format
0 8 * * * /home/john/opensquat/opensquat.py -k keywords.txt -o results.json -t json

You can use this output file to feed your SIEM, SOAR, or other tools that support importing from TXT/JSON/CSV formats.

Alternatively, currently in a Beta preview you can integrate using REST APIs, your application with RapidAPI
