Asnlookup: Look up IP addresses registered and owned by a specific organization

May 9, 2019July 7, 2019 Comments Off

This tool will search an updated database for a specific organization’s ASN then use the latter to look up all IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) registered and owned by the organization.

What is an ASN Number

An autonomous system number (ASN) is a unique number assigned to an autonomous system (AS) by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). An AS consists of blocks of IP addresses which have a distinctly defined policy for accessing external networks and are administered by a single organization.

Objective

This script should be used during reconnaissance phase to identify properties owned by the company, and run a port scan on it to identify open ports and publicly exposed services.

Usage

Tested on Python >= 2.7 and Python 3.5

$ git clone https://github.com/yassineaboukir/Asnlookup && cd Asnlookup
$ pip install -r requirements.txt (or pip3 install -r requirements.txt if you're using Python3)
$ python asnlookup.py -o <Organization>

Port Scanning

The tool exports the list of IP addresses as a text file which you can use with other tools such as Masscan. On the other hand, the tool supports Nmap and Masscan port scanning but it requires you to already have both installed on your machine. How to?

For Nmap:

- On CentOS

yum install nmap

- On Debian

apt-get install nmap

- On Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install nmap

- Mac OS

brew install nmap

For Masscan: NOTE THAT MASSCAN DOESN’T SUPPORT IPV6 PORT SCANNING

Please refer to https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/masscan/

To scan the IP addresses, append to the command -m arugment for Masscan or -n for Nmap:

$ python asnlookup.py -m -o <Organization>

You can also pass your own Nmap/Masscan arguments (Default for nmap: -p 1-65535 -T4 -A -v; default for Masscan: -p0-65535 --rate 200).

$ python asnlookup.py -m="<Masscan arguments>" -o <Organization>

Example using Nmap with custom arguments:

$ python asnlookup.py -n="--top-ports 65535" -o twitter

It will export the result to a text file in the output directory (E.g: ./output/salesforce.txt) then run nmap.

Limitation

For smaller organizations the ASN will usually be that of their ISP whereas the hostname might not. One example of this is 207.97.227.245, a GitHub IP address. The ASN is AS27357 (Rackspace Hosting), but the hostname is pages.github.com.
