API: get your network graph as PNG

You can now get an image (PNG) of any of your network graphs through the API!

We’ve had multiple requests for this feature and it has been on the backlog for a while. Thing is, the graphs are dynamic and generated with D3 in your browser. So unlike other API endpoints that pull data directly from the database, this one needed something that rendered the D3 code first before creating a snapshot and converting it to a PNG image.

The quick and dirty option would have been providing a url that you could get with something like headless chrome. However, this would mean all API users had to install headless Chrome and implement their own solution. Much more efficient and convenient to do this centrally and just deliver the final output. If you still like to go the browser way (maybe you want to build a graph for on your wall), please let us know and we’ll help you out.

More info in the API docs. It’s also implemented in our ShadowTrackr python package.

Where are my F5 BIG IPs?

By now everyone should’ve been notified by the vendors and security people about fixing you F5 BIG IP for CVE 2020-5902.

But since the actual exploit code has been released and some bad people have started abusing it, you’re advised to do an extra check and see if you have got to all your BIG IPS. ShadowTrackr has some checks to detect them, and you can get a list by typing this command in the search bar:

website.software: "F5"

Note that you’ll see websites on which BIG IPS are detected, and some of these might be grouped behind the same device.

Updated API, including Python package

You can now also query all DNS records through the API. Details are in the API docs.

To be honest, I added this only because I wanted to check DNS records in some automated test that use the API. But who knows, some of you might find it useful :-)
