Introduction - - Passive DNS is a technique described by Florian Weimer in 2005 in - Passive DNS replication, F Weimer - 17th Annual FIRST Conference on - Computer Security. Since then multiple Passive DNS implementations - evolved over time. Users of these Passive DNS servers query a server - (often via Whois [Ref: WHOIS]), parse the results and process them in - other applications. - - There are multiple implementation of Passive DNS software. Users of - passive DNS query each implementation and aggregate the results for - their search. This document describes the output format of three - Passive DNS Systems which are in use today and which already share a - nearly identical output format. As the format and the meaning of - output fields from each Passive DNS need to be consistent, we propose - in this document a solution to commonly name each field along with - their cor responding interpretation. The format format is following - a simple key-value structure. The benefit of having a consistent - Passive DNS output format is that multiple client implementations can - query different servers without having to have a separate parser for - each individual server. [http://code.google.com/p/passive-dns-query- - tool/] currently implements multiple parsers due to a lack of - standardization. The document does not describe the protocol (e.g. - whois ref:TOADD) used to query the Passive DNS. - -1.1. Requirements Language - - The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", - "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this - document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. - -2. Mandatory Fields - - A field is composed a key followed by a value separated by the single - ':' character and a space before the value. The format is based on - the initial work done by Florian Weimer and the RIPE whois format - (ref:http://www.enyo.de/fw/software/dnslogger/whois.html). The - ordered of the fields is not significant for the same resource type, - name tuple. - -2.1. first_seen - - This field returns the first time that the record has been seen by - the passive DNS. The date is expressed in ISO 8601 and UTC. - -2.2. last_seen - - This field returns the last time that the record has been seen by the - passive DNS.

The key is rr-type and the value is in the interpreted record - type. If the value cannot be interpreted the decimal value is - returned.
