To set-up personal use API credentials:
> domaintools.setup.apikey --self myapiuser myapikey
Setting DomainTools API credentials for the current user.
Setting your personal Farsight API key
To set-up a personal use API key for the Farsight DNSDB API:
> domaintools.farsight.setup.apikey --self myapikey
Setting DomainTools Farsight API key for the current user.
Enrich nodes with Iris data
Enrich an inet:fqdn node with domaintools.iris.enrich:
> inet:fqdn=vertex.link | domaintools.iris.enrich
inet:fqdn=vertex.link
.created = 2024/12/20 18:00:02.105
:_domaintools:risk:score = 23
:_domaintools:risk:score:proximity = 23
:domain = link
:host = vertex
:issuffix = false
:iszone = true
:zone = vertex.link
Enrich an IPv4 with domaintools.iris.investigate and yield the results:
> inet:ipv4=199.30.228.112 | domaintools.iris.investigate --ip $node --yield
inet:whois:rec=('usb.vn', '2023/03/07 16:11:48.048')

Get hosting history for a domain
Enrich an inet:fqdn node with domaintools.hosting.history and yield the results:
> inet:fqdn=domaintools.com | domaintools.hosting.history --size 3 --yield
inet:dns:a=('domaintools.com', '63.247.77.156')
.created = 2024/12/20 18:00:05.203
.seen = ('2004/05/03 00:00:00.000', '2004/05/03 00:00:00.001')

:fqdn = domaintools.com
:ipv4 = 66.249.4.251
Get Whois history for a domain
Enrich an inet:fqdn node with domaintools.whois.history and yield the results:

Use of meta:source nodes
Synapse-DomainTools uses a meta:source node and -(seen)> light
weight edges to track nodes observed from the DomainTools API.

Storm can be used to filter nodes to include/exclude nodes which have been observed by Synapse-DomainTools. The following example shows how to filter the results of a query to include only results observed by Synapse-DomainTools:
> inet:fqdn=vertex.link -> inet:dns:a +{ <(seen)- meta:source=9b243914666ac4d4ae5e253eddcc584d }
