dnssecaudit.py

Since I was on a roll with Copilot, I decided to automate DNSSEC auditing with the following Python script. Not the most creative tool name.

Modded script to keep Ubuntu packages and snaps updated.

Used Copilot to update my Ubuntu maintenance script. I did tweak it slightly though since I am running LTS and don't want all packages to be updated to the latest version.

#!/bin/bash

# Function to handle errors
function handle_error {
  echo "$1 Exiting."
  exit 1
}

# Function to update apt packages
function update_apt {
  echo "Updating apt package lists..."
  sudo apt update || handle_error "Error updating apt package lists."
 
  echo "Upgrading apt packages..."
  sudo apt upgrade -y || handle_error "Error upgrading apt packages."
 
  echo "Cleaning up apt packages..."
  sudo apt autoremove -y && sudo apt clean || handle_error "Error cleaning up apt packages."
}

# Function to update snap packages
function refresh_snaps {
  echo "Updating Snap packages..."
  sudo snap refresh
  if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
    echo "Refresh failed. Attempting to kill running Snap processes..."
    sudo pkill -f snap
    sudo snap refresh || handle_error "Error updating Snap packages after killing processes."
  else
    echo "Snap packages updated successfully."
  fi
}

# Function to update Maldet database and run a scan
function run_maldet {
  echo "Updating Maldet database..."
  sudo maldet -u || handle_error "Error updating Maldet database."
 
  echo "Starting Maldet scan of /home (recent changes, quiet mode)..."
  sudo maldet -r -q /home || handle_error "Error running Maldet scan."
 
  SCAN_LOG=$(sudo maldet --report list | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $NF}')
  if [[ -n "$SCAN_LOG" ]]; then
    echo "Maldet scan log located at: $SCAN_LOG"
  else
    echo "Could not retrieve Maldet scan log location."
  fi
}

# Main script execution
update_apt
refresh_snaps
run_maldet

echo "All done!"

Autobots.py

Had an epiphany to try writing a working "Python" script using "Copilot". I call the following script "Autobots" to help audit the presence of "robots.txt".
