lenz 🤓

Console based MAP 🗺, with lots of features packed in 👇

Motivation

I was looking for one fully console based geo location data visualiser, with below functionalities

can keep geo locate machine's connected TCP/ UDP peers 👩‍💻
can geo locate any IP Address
can geo locate all IPv{4,6} addresses, resolvable from (sub-)domain name
can geo locate peers, given torrent 🧲 link
can show my own location on Map 🙋

which can be used in fully console based environments i.e. ssh-ing into VM, VPS etc.

But couldn't find one, may be I required to try harder. So I decided to write one, with all these above mentioned functionalites.

I interested in extending its functionalites in coming days, if you find I'm missing certain use case, feel free to let me know/ just raise a PR.

Features

Given (sub-)domain name, it can look up all associated server IPv4/6 addresses, showing them in console map 🥴
Given IPv4/6 address, can lookup it's location & show it in console map 🥳
Can find all currently active TCP/UDP socket connections from all processes & marks their respective peers in console map 🤩
This will be helpful in understanding which application ( using PID ) is to talking to which machine & where is that located

Note: For 👆 operation, auto refresh has been enabled 🤩

Given torrent 🧲 link, can look up all peers associated with that infohash & show them in console map 🤓
Given any random URL, parses HTML & extracts out all static content i.e. {*.js, *.css, image/*} delivery domains & geo locate them 😎
Given Autonomous System Number ( ASN ), geo locates all IPv4 addresses owned by this Autonomous System ( AS ) 😉🦾

Caution: 👆 operation is very computationally intensive, for large Autonomous Systems, might take some time to complete, though it keeps streaming, as soon as it finds something useful

In all these cases, generates a tabular report of all connected peers ( including self ), who were shown on console map

Prerequisite

We need to download IP2Location™ LITE IP-COUNTRY-REGION-CITY-LATITUDE-LONGITUDE Database for using this tool.

Consider using IPv6 Binary version, cause that will also support IPv4 lookup. This specific database I've planned to use is codenamed db5.

Please try to stick with that to avoid unexpected behaviours.

We'll also need IP2Location™ LITE IP-ASN Database for using la command. See below.

Please use IPv4 version of ASN Database

And we need to have NodeJS( >=12.18.4 ).

Installation

Using NPM

This software is distributed using NPM.

npm i -g lenz

Using GITHUB

You can clone this repo in your machine and run below commands to use this CLI tool.

Lets get into project directory

git clone git@github.com:itzmeanjan/lenz.git
cd lenz/lenz
npm install # installing all dependencies

And install tool globally. Also make sure you've added NPM global installation path to your system PATH variable.

npm i -g .

Now you can use lenz from any where in your directory tree.

Locate static content delivery domains used in a webpage ( lr )

Given any webpage URL, parses out its script, link & img tags, which are used for including static resources into HTML i.e. CSS, JS & images. If they are delivered from some domain other than this one, extract them out & then resolve those domain names into IPv4/6 addresses, which are to be geolocated using IP2Location DB5 database. They are also shown on console map.
