The following two scripts are by Mark Moraes of the University of Toronto. See the enclosed file "Moraes-COPYRIGHT" for permissions and restrictions.

Why or why not? |
Example A-14. ftpget: Downloading files via ftp
#! /bin/sh
# $Id: ftpget,v 1.2 91/05/07 21:15:43 moraes Exp $
# Script to perform batch anonymous ftp. Essentially converts a list of
# of command line arguments into input to ftp.
# Simple, and quick - written as a companion to ftplist
# -h specifies the remote host (default prep.ai.mit.edu)
# -d specifies the remote directory to cd to - you can provide a sequence
# of -d options - they will be cd'ed to in turn. If the paths are relative,
# make sure you get the sequence right. Be careful with relative paths -
# there are far too many symlinks nowadays.
# (default is the ftp login directory)
# -v turns on the verbose option of ftp, and shows all responses from the
# ftp server.
# -f remotefile[:localfile] gets the remote file into localfile
# -m pattern does an mget with the specified pattern. Remember to quote
# shell characters.
# -c does a local cd to the specified directory
# For example,
# ftpget -h expo.lcs.mit.edu -d contrib -f xplaces.shar:xplaces.sh \
# -d ../pub/R3/fixes -c ~/fixes -m 'fix*'
# will get xplaces.shar from ~ftp/contrib on expo.lcs.mit.edu, and put it in
# xplaces.sh in the current working directory, and get all fixes from
# ~ftp/pub/R3/fixes and put them in the ~/fixes directory.
# Obviously, the sequence of the options is important, since the equivalent
# commands are executed by ftp in corresponding order

Antek Sawicki contributed the following script, which makes very clever use of the parameter substitution operators discussed in Section 9.3.
Example A-15. password: Generating random 8-character passwords
#!/bin/bash
# May need to be invoked with #!/bin/bash2 on older machines.
#
# Random password generator for Bash 2.x by Antek Sawicki <tenox@tenox.tc>,
# who generously gave permission to the document author to use it here.
#
# ==> Comments added by document author ==>
MATRIX="0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
# ==> Password will consist of alphanumeric characters.
LENGTH="8"
# ==> May change 'LENGTH' for longer password.
while [ "${n:=1}" -le "$LENGTH" ]
# ==> Recall that := is "default substitution" operator.
# ==> So, if 'n' has not been initialized, set it to 1.
do
PASS="$PASS${MATRIX:$(($RANDOM%${#MATRIX})):1}"
# ==> Very clever, but tricky.
# ==> Starting from the innermost nesting...
# ==> ${#MATRIX} returns length of array MATRIX.
# ==> $RANDOM%${#MATRIX} returns random number between 1
# ==> and [length of MATRIX] - 1.
# ==> ${MATRIX:$(($RANDOM%${#MATRIX})):1}
# ==> returns expansion of MATRIX at random position, by length 1.
# ==> See {var:pos:len} parameter substitution in Chapter 9.
# ==> and the associated examples.
# ==> PASS=... simply pastes this result onto previous PASS (concatenation).
# ==> To visualize this more clearly, uncomment the following line
# echo "$PASS"
# ==> to see PASS being built up,
# ==> one character at a time, each iteration of the loop.
let n+=1
# ==> Increment 'n' for next pass.
done
echo "$PASS" # ==> Or, redirect to a file, as desired.

James R. Van Zandt contributed this script, which uses named pipes and, in his words, "really exercises quoting and escaping".
Example A-16. fifo: Making daily backups, using named pipes
#!/bin/bash
# ==> Script by James R. Van Zandt, and used here with his permission.
# ==> Comments added by author of this document.
HERE=`uname -n` # ==> hostname
THERE=bilbo
echo "starting remote backup to $THERE at `date +%r`"
# ==> `date +%r` returns time in 12-hour format, i.e. "08:08:34 PM".
# make sure /pipe really is a pipe and not a plain file
rm -rf /pipe
mkfifo /pipe # ==> Create a "named pipe", named "/pipe".
# ==> 'su xyz' runs commands as user "xyz".
# ==> 'ssh' invokes secure shell (remote login client).
su xyz -c "ssh $THERE \"cat >/home/xyz/backup/${HERE}-daily.tar.gz\" < /pipe"&
cd /
tar -czf - bin boot dev etc home info lib man root sbin share usr var >/pipe
# ==> Uses named pipe, /pipe, to communicate between processes:
# ==> 'tar/gzip' writes to /pipe and 'ssh' reads from /pipe.
# ==> The end result is this backs up the main directories, from / on down.
# ==> What are the advantages of a "named pipe" in this situation,
# ==> as opposed to an "anonymous pipe", with |?
# ==> Will an anonymous pipe even work here?

Walk an array of directory fields produced by ListDirectory
Having suppressed the line breaks in an otherwise line oriented
report, build an index to the array element which starts each line.
Each line gets two index entries, the first element of each line
(inode) and the element that holds the pathname of the file.
The first index entry pair (Line-Number==0) are informational:
Index-Array-Name[0] : Number of "Lines" indexed
Index-Array-Name[1] : "Current Line" pointer into Index-Array-Name
The following index pairs (if any) hold element indexes into
the Field-Array-Name per:
Index-Array-Name[Line-Number * 2] : The "inode" field element.
NOTE: This distance may be either +11 or +12 elements.
Index-Array-Name[(Line-Number * 2) + 1] : The "pathname" element.
NOTE: This distance may be a variable number of elements.

The key (no pun intended) to a Unified Content File System (UCFS)
is to distinguish the files in the system based on their content.
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.
So this function gropes the md5sum output and returns:
[0] 32 character checksum in hexidecimal (UCFS filename)
[1] Single character: ' ' text file, '*' binary file
[2] Filesystem (20th Century Style) name
Note: That name may be the character '-' indicating STDIN read.

# Similarly, during further usage of the string variable, the ${Me}

# (Until explicitly told to evaluate the string).
# Hint: See what happens when the hard quotes ($'\x27') are replaced

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.

Study notes
This script uses a large number of functions.
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.
Modify the GraphViz file output to include the
newly discovered information.

cat <<-'_usage_statement_'
The script is_spammer.bash requires either one or two arguments.
arg 1) May be one of:
a) A domain name
b) An IPv4 address
c) The name of a file with any mix of names
and addresses, one per line.
arg 2) May be one of:
a) A Blacklist server domain name
b) The name of a file with Blacklist server
domain names, one per line.
c) If not present, a default list of (free)
Blacklist servers is used.
d) If a filename of an empty, readable, file
is given,
Blacklist server lookup is disabled.
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.

Quickstart
==========
Prerequisites
Bash version 2.05b or 3.00 (bash --version)
A version of Bash which supports arrays. 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.

# Most of the following points are described at length in
#+ the text of the foregoing "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide."
# This demonstration script is mostly just a reorganized presentation.
# -- msz
# Variables are not typed unless otherwise specified.
# Variables are named. Names must contain a non-digit.
# File descriptor names (as in, for example: 2>&1)
#+ contain ONLY digits.
# Parameters and Bash array elements are numbered.
# (Parameters are very similar to Bash arrays.)
# A variable name may be undefined (null reference).
unset VarNull
# A variable name may be defined but empty (null contents).
VarEmpty='' # Two, adjacent, single quotes.
# A variable name my be defined and non-empty
VarSomething='Literal'
# A variable may contain:
# * A whole number as a signed 32-bit (or larger) integer
# * A string
# A variable may also be an array.
# A string may contain embedded blanks and may be treated
#+ as if it where a function name with optional arguments.
# The names of variables and the names of functions
#+ are in different namespaces.
# A variable may be defined as a Bash array either explicitly or
#+ implicitly by the syntax of the assignment statement.
# Explicit:
declare -a ArrayVar
# The echo command is a built-in.
echo $VarSomething
# The printf command is a built-in.
# Translate %s as: String-Format
printf %s $VarSomething # No linebreak specified, none output.
echo # Default, only linebreak output.
# The Bash parser word breaks on whitespace.
# Whitespace, or the lack of it is significant.
# (This holds true in general; there are, of course, exceptions.)
# Translate the DOLLAR_SIGN character as: Content-Of.
# Extended-Syntax way of writing Content-Of:
echo ${VarSomething}
# The ${ ... } Extended-Syntax allows more than just the variable
#+ name to be specified.
# In general, $VarSomething can always be written as: ${VarSomething}.
# Call this script with arguments to see the following in action.
# Outside of double-quotes, the special characters @ and *
#+ specify identical behavior.
# May be pronounced as: All-Elements-Of.
# Without specification of a name, they refer to the
#+ pre-defined parameter Bash-Array.
# Glob-Pattern references
echo $* # All parameters to script or function
echo ${*} # Same
# Bash disables filename expansion for Glob-Patterns.
# Only character matching is active.
# All-Elements-Of references
echo $@ # Same as above
echo ${@} # Same as above
# Within double-quotes, the behavior of Glob-Pattern references
#+ depends on the setting of IFS (Input Field Separator).
# Within double-quotes, All-Elements-Of references behave the same.
# Specifying only the name of a variable holding a string refers
#+ to all elements (characters) of a string.
# To specify an element (character) of a string,
#+ the Extended-Syntax reference notation (see below) MAY be used.
# Specifying only the name of a Bash array references
#+ the subscript zero element,
#+ NOT the FIRST DEFINED nor the FIRST WITH CONTENTS element.
# Additional qualification is needed to reference other elements,
#+ which means that the reference MUST be written in Extended-Syntax.
# The general form is: ${name[subscript]}.
# The string forms may also be used: ${name:subscript}
#+ for Bash-Arrays when referencing the subscript zero element.
# Bash-Arrays are implemented internally as linked lists,
#+ not as a fixed area of storage as in some programming languages.
# Characteristics of Bash arrays (Bash-Arrays):
# --------------------------------------------
# If not otherwise specified, Bash-Array subscripts begin with
#+ subscript number zero. Literally: [0]
# This is called zero-based indexing.
###
# If not otherwise specified, Bash-Arrays are subscript packed
#+ (sequential subscripts without subscript gaps).
###
# Negative subscripts are not allowed.
###
# Elements of a Bash-Array need not all be of the same type.
###
# Elements of a Bash-Array may be undefined (null reference).
# That is, a Bash-Array my be "subscript sparse."
###
# Elements of a Bash-Array may be defined and empty (null contents).
###
# Elements of a Bash-Array may contain:
# * A whole number as a signed 32-bit (or larger) integer
# * A string
# * A string formated so that it appears to be a function name
# + with optional arguments
###
# Defined elements of a Bash-Array may be undefined (unset).
# That is, a subscript packed Bash-Array may be changed
# + into a subscript sparse Bash-Array.
###
# Elements may be added to a Bash-Array by defining an element
#+ not previously defined.
###
# For these reasons, I have been calling them "Bash-Arrays".
# I'll return to the generic term "array" from now on.
# -- msz
# Demo time -- initialize the previously declared ArrayVar as a
#+ sparse array.
# (The 'unset ... ' is just documentation here.)
unset ArrayVar[0] # Just for the record
ArrayVar[1]=one # Unquoted literal
ArrayVar[2]='' # Defined, and empty
unset ArrayVar[3] # Just for the record
ArrayVar[4]='four' # Quoted literal

# Put IFS back to the default.
# Default is exactly these three bytes.
IFS=$'\x20'$'\x09'$'\x0A' # In exactly this order.
# Interpretation of the above outputs:
# A Glob-Pattern is I/O; the setting of IFS matters.
###
# An All-Elements-Of does not consider IFS settings.
###
# Note the different output using the echo command and the
#+ quoted format operator of the printf command.
# Recall:
# Parameters are similar to arrays and have the similar behaviors.
###
# The above examples demonstrate the possible variations.
# To retain the shape of a sparse array, additional script
#+ programming is required.
###
# The source code of Bash has a routine to output the
#+ [subscript]=value array assignment format.
# As of version 2.05b, that routine is not used,
#+ but that might change in future releases.
# The length of a string, measured in non-null elements (characters):
echo
echo '- - Non-quoted references - -'
echo 'Non-Null character count: '${#VarSomething}' characters.'
# test='Lit'$'\x00''eral' # $'\x00' is a null character.

# REVIEW:
# ------
# A string can be considered a Classic-Array of elements (characters).
# A string operation applies to all elements (characters) of the string
#+ (in concept, anyway).
###
# The notation: ${array_name[@]} represents all elements of the
#+ Bash-Array: array_name.
###
# The Extended-Syntax string operations can be applied to all
#+ elements of an array.
###
# This may be thought of as a For-Each operation on a vector of strings.
###
# Parameters are similar to an array.
# The initialization of a parameter array for a script
#+ and a parameter array for a function only differ
#+ in the initialization of ${0}, which never changes its setting.
###
# Subscript zero of the script's parameter array contains
#+ the name of the script.
###
# Subscript zero of a function's parameter array DOES NOT contain
#+ the name of the function.
# The name of the current function is accessed by the $FUNCNAME variable.

# One possible code fragment:
###
# local l=${#ArraySparse[@]} # Count of defined elements
# local f=0 # Count of found subscripts
# local i=0 # Subscript to test

###

# The "read -a array_name" version of the "read" command
#+ begins filling array_name at subscript zero.
# ArraySparse does not define a value at subscript zero.
