1. Executive Overview

TrustPositif Validator is a specialized, zero-dependency Bash automation pipeline that converts messy, multi-source domain blacklists into deterministic, deduplicated, RFC-compliant, and DNS-ready blocklist files.

The Noise in Raw Feeds vs The Clean Solution

Government and public domain blocklists (such as the raw Komdigi TrustPositif database) are aggregated from diverse reporting portals, crawling robots, and legacy ISP submissions. These raw sources contain massive volumes of invalid data that cause DNS servers to reject zone files, crash during parsing, or exhaust RAM tables:

TrustPositif Validator strips out all noise, validates every TLD against the authoritative IANA Root Zone Database, standardizes internationalized labels into IDNA2008 Punycode (xn--), removes wild subdomains while retaining root domain apex rules, and writes clean, sorted results with atomic filesystem safety.

Method A: Zero-Install One-Liner (Remote Execution)

Ideal for quick evaluation or lightweight scheduled cron jobs:

# Via curl
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alsyundawy/TrustPositif-Validator/main/trustpositif-validator.sh)

# Via wget
bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alsyundawy/TrustPositif-Validator/main/trustpositif-validator.sh)

Allows custom configurations, local list files, and offline execution:

git clone https://github.com/alsyundawy/TrustPositif-Validator.git
cd TrustPositif-Validator
chmod +x trustpositif-validator.sh

# Run with standard options
bash trustpositif-validator.sh

# Run with subdomain cleanup enabled
bash trustpositif-validator.sh --clean-subdomains

5. Command Line Interface (CLI) Reference

The script features a flexible argument parser that supports combining multiple flags:

Usage: bash trustpositif-validator.sh [OPTIONS]
Flag Long Form Description
-h --help Display the interactive manual using the system pager (less -R / more).
-v --version Display build version string and release timestamp.
Β  --force-cleanup Terminate any stale validator processes and purge leftover temp folders in /tmp and $TMPDIR.
Β  --clean-subdomains Enable subdomain cleaning using DOMAINS_TO_CLEAN.txt.
Β  --no-clean-subdomains Disable subdomain cleaning (default behavior).
Β  --clean-file=<path> Specify an alternative path for the domains cleanup list.
Β  --punycode, --idn Enable IDN Punycode conversion using GNU Libidn2 (idn2). Enabled by default.
Β  --no-punycode, --no-idn Disable Punycode conversion (skip non-ASCII Unicode translation).
Β  --cut-subdomains Collapse subdomains to their registered parent domain (aggressive mode).
Β  --no-cut-subdomains Keep distinct subdomains intact (default mode).

Production CLI Examples

# 1. Clean subdomains using default DOMAINS_TO_CLEAN.txt

7. Subdomain Stream Cleaning Engine (DOMAINS_TO_CLEAN.txt)

Large blocklists often contain thousands of redundant subdomains for targeted root domains (e.g. gambling, malware, phishing). Including all these subdomains bloats DNS RPZ zones without providing additional security.

TrustPositif Validator includes a specialized stream processing engine for subdomain cleanup:

File Format Flexibility

The DOMAINS_TO_CLEAN.txt file supports all common formatting conventions:

# Plain format (one per line)
target1.com
target2.org

# Bash array format
DOMAINS_TO_CLEAN=(
    "target3.com"
    "target4.net"
)

The AWK tokenizer automatically ignores bash variable declarations, parentheses, quotes (" / '), and commas.

Apex Guard (Root Domain Protection)

When subdomain cleaning is enabled:

Target Domain: evil-site.com

  β”œβ”€β”€ evil-site.com          <-- PRESERVED in blocklist (Apex domain rule)
  β”œβ”€β”€ sub1.evil-site.com      <-- STRIPPED (Redundant subdomain)
  β”œβ”€β”€ api.evil-site.com       <-- STRIPPED (Redundant subdomain)
  └── cdn.evil-site.com       <-- STRIPPED (Redundant subdomain)

[!TIP] Why Apex Guard Matters: Keeping the root domain (evil-site.com) in the blocklist ensures that DNS sinkholes and RPZ wildcard policies (*.evil-site.com CNAME .) continue to block all current and future subdomains, while saving megabytes of RAM on the nameserver.


8. IDN & Punycode Normalization Engine (idn2)

The modern Internet supports internationalized domain names (IDNs) in regional alphabets (Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese, Indonesian regional scripts, and accented Latin).

TrustPositif Validator implements an automated IDNA2008 conversion layer:

  1. Inspection: Every chunk is inspected for non-ASCII Unicode strings.
  2. Libidn2 Integration: Passes records through idn2 --quiet --no-tr46 (with fallback to idn).
  3. Punycode Output: Converts Unicode labels to ASCII Compatible Encoding (xn--...):
    • Π΄ΠΎΠΌΠ΅Π½.Ρ€Ρ„ β†’ xn--d1acufc.xn--p1ai
    • mΓΌnchen.de β†’ xn--mnchen-3ya.de
  4. IANA Verification: The resulting Punycode TLD (e.g., xn--p1ai) is validated against the official IANA IDN ccTLD database.

9. Production DNS & Firewall Deployment Recipes

The final validated output file is published to: /var/www/html/trustpositif/domain-trustpositif_valid.txt

Below are production-ready deployment configurations:

Recipe 1: BIND 9 Response Policy Zone (RPZ)

BIND Configuration (/etc/bind/named.conf.local):

zone "rpz.trustpositif" {
    type master;
    file "/var/lib/bind/rpz.trustpositif.zone";
    allow-query { localhost; 192.168.0.0/16; };
};

Automated RPZ Zone Compiler:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
INPUT="/var/www/html/trustpositif/domain-trustpositif_valid.txt"
ZONE="/var/lib/bind/rpz.trustpositif.zone"

cat <<'EOF' > "${ZONE}"
$TTL 300
@ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. ( 2026100301 3600 600 604800 300 )
@ IN NS  localhost.

EOF

awk '{
    print $1 " CNAME ."
    print "*." $1 " CNAME ."
}' "${INPUT}" >> "${ZONE}"

rndc reload rpz.trustpositif

Recipe 2: Unbound DNS Sinkhole

Convert the validated output into Unbound local-zone redirection rules:

awk '{
    print "local-zone: \"" $1 "\" always_nxdomain"
}' /var/www/html/trustpositif/domain-trustpositif_valid.txt > /etc/unbound/trustpositif.conf

unbound-control reload

Recipe 3: Pi-hole (FTL DNS) Remote Adlist

  1. Open Pi-hole Admin Console β†’ Adlists.
  2. Add the URL: http://localhost/trustpositif/domain-trustpositif_valid.txt.
  3. Rebuild gravity:

    pihole -g
    

Recipe 4: AdGuard Home Blocklist

  1. Open AdGuard Home Dashboard β†’ Filters β†’ DNS blocklists.
  2. Click Add blocklist β†’ Add a custom list.
  3. Set Name to TrustPositif Komdigi and URL to: http://127.0.0.1/trustpositif/domain-trustpositif_valid.txt (or filesystem path: /var/www/html/trustpositif/domain-trustpositif_valid.txt).
  4. Set update interval to 12 hours.

Recipe 5: Dnsmasq Blocking

Generate Dnsmasq redirection rules:

awk '{
    print "address=/" $1 "/0.0.0.0"
}' /var/www/html/trustpositif/domain-trustpositif_valid.txt > /etc/dnsmasq.d/trustpositif.conf

systemctl restart dnsmasq

Recipe 6: MikroTik RouterOS Script

Export domains into a RouterOS DNS static import file:

awk '{
    print "/ip dns static add name=" $1 " address=127.0.0.1 type=FWD comment=TrustPositif"
}' /var/www/html/trustpositif/domain-trustpositif_valid.txt | head -n 5000 > /tmp/mikrotik_dns.rsc

Recipe 7: Automated Production Crontab

Update the blocklist nightly at 03:00 AM with log rotation and TTY protection:

# Add to /etc/crontab or crontab -e
0 3 * * * /usr/bin/env bash /root/TrustPositif-Validator/trustpositif-validator.sh --clean-subdomains >> /var/log/trustpositif-validator.log 2>&1
