Ruby tools and Ruby Netcraft Module

Well I’ve been busy putting together a bunch of Ruby versions of some tools we use at work, I’ve cleaned up the Google scripts for searching for emails within google. I’ve extended the tool into something that can pull from Yahoo! and MSN Live using their respective search APIs. These are not quite ready to be released as yet.

I’ve also put to get a DNS tool that goes through the DNS on a domain and gathers a bunch of information we use in the reports, so this is pretty much work specific. Pretty good exercise in playing with the Ruby port of the Perl Net-DNS module.

The other thing I’ve put together and will probably release is a Netcraft Module, it is similar in concept to the Perl one that you can find here but rewritten in Ruby and I think it is a little more elegant.

You can also have a play with the Ruby Netcraft module here. It is very basic but does what I need and I hope people find it useful.
