Subdomain Resolve Security Script, Random Stuff, and More

- wanted to create a more portable script to test for relevant servers via DNS. Download it from here:
- description is as follows:
# Sometimes you end up on systems where you don't have administrative
# access. In spite of that you need to do a network/security test/audit.
# That's the point of this script. It's a very basic port of some DNS
# brute force enumeration scrpts such as the following (in fact some
# of the included files are actually from the following two projects):
# to test for available servers and relies on utilities found on most 
# UNIX/Linux systems.
#
# Use in combination with tools such as Spiderfoot, my network_mapper.sh 
# script, DNS, whois, other OSINT information, etc... to get valid IP 
# information.
#
# It basically tests for DNS resolution for particular server names.
# The set of scripts as is will work against arbitrary server/network 
# setups. It will work better if you have prior OSINT, TECHINT, HUMINT,
# etc... This will allow for creation of custom fuzzers to increase
# your success rate against a given domain. Testing indicates that 
# about 10K servers can be enumerated in roughly 10 minutes.
#
# Obviously, I could have included automated crawling and bot 
# capabilities but given my experiences previously with having to 
# maintain up keep against counterbot technology have decided to leave 
# it out.
#
# As this is the very first version of the program it may be VERY buggy. 
# Please test prior to deployment in a production environment.

Random Quotes:
- Earlier this year Microsoft proudly announced that it was working with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to "deliver such services as cloud-based identity and access" in order to "help employees make more informed decisions faster" and "utilise deep learning capabilities to accelerate facial recognition and identification." (Emphasis added.)

As members of the open source community and free software movement who embrace values of freedom, liberty, openness, sharing, mutual aid, and general human kindness, we are horrified by and strongly object to the Trump administration's policies of detainment, denaturalisation, deportation, and family separation as carried out by ICE.

With Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub, many in the GitHub community were fearful of what new ownership from a company once openly hostile to open source would spell for the future of GitHub, and many of those people chose to leave the site rather than entrust Microsoft with their software. Those of us who remained, because we were willing to give Microsoft a chance to become a steward of the open source movement, will not continue to do so should Microsoft continue to abet the trampling of human and civil rights by this administration and its law enforcement agencies.

We call on Microsoft to end its relationship with ICE and any federal agencies engaged in enforcing the cruel policies of this administration, which is destroying families and jailing asylum seekers, undocumented long-term residents, and even naturalised citizens under threat of deportation. Or, we will simply take our projects elsewhere.
- The YF-23—contrary to popular belief—did not have an overall top speed that was any faster than the YF-22. Both jets were limited to an aerodynamic max speed of about Mach 2.2 as a result of their fixed-ramp external compression inlets. In fact, operational F-22 Raptors are “red lined” at exactly Mach 2.0 with an artificial placard because the aircraft’s stealth coating are prone to delamination if the jet went any faster—particularly around the canopy. The Northrop design also had better range compared to the YF-22, and was arguably a stealthier design. 
- "On the whole, the arc of history is bending towards improvement, but for certain populations within a given place, you are going to have wild divergences," Noveck says.

"I think the issue that we have to worry about is the destabilising effect of social inequality. We are going to see benefits for some and harm for others.

"Many people, because of IT and automation and new technology are going to do very well and are going to get richer. But we are also going to see a lot of people either stagnate, remain poor or get poorer."
