A Python package and CLI for parsing aggregate and forensic DMARC reports
Project description
parsedmarc is a Python module and CLI utility for parsing DMARC reports. When used with Elasticsearch and Kibana (or Splunk), it works as a self-hosted open source alternative to commercial DMARC report processing services such as Agari Brand Protection, Dmarcian, OnDMARC, ProofPoint Email Fraud Defense, and Valimail.
Features
Parses draft and 1.0 standard aggregate/rua reports
Parses forensic/failure/ruf reports
Can parse reports from an inbox over IMAP
Transparently handles gzip or zip compressed reports
Consistent data structures
Simple JSON and/or CSV output
Optionally email the results
Optionally send the results to Elasticsearch and/or Splunk, for use with premade dashboards
Optionally send reports to Apache Kafka
Resources
DMARC guides
Demystifying DMARC - A complete guide to SPF, DKIM, and DMARC
SPF and DMARC record validation

Lookalike domains
DMARC protects against domain spoofing, not lookalike domains. For open source lookalike domain monitoring, check out DomainAware.
CLI help
usage: parsedmarc [-h] [-c CONFIG_FILE] [--strip-attachment-payloads]
[-o OUTPUT] [-n NAMESERVERS [NAMESERVERS ...]]
[-t DNS_TIMEOUT] [-s] [--debug] [--log-file LOG_FILE] [-v]
[file_path [file_path ...]]
Parses DMARC reports
positional arguments:
file_path one or more paths to aggregate or forensic report
files or emails
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c CONFIG_FILE, --config-file CONFIG_FILE
A path to a configuration file (--silent implied)
--strip-attachment-payloads
remove attachment payloads from forensic report output
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
write output files to the given directory
-n NAMESERVERS [NAMESERVERS ...], --nameservers NAMESERVERS [NAMESERVERS ...]
nameservers to query (default is Cloudflare's
nameservers)
-t DNS_TIMEOUT, --dns_timeout DNS_TIMEOUT
number of seconds to wait for an answer from DNS
(default: 6.0)
-s, --silent only print errors and warnings
--debug print debugging information
--log-file LOG_FILE output logging to a file
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
Configuration file
parsedmarc can be configured by supplying the path to an INI file
parsedmarc -c /etc/parsedmarc.iniFor example
# This is an example comment
[general]
save_aggregate = True
save_forensic = True
[imap]
host = imap.example.com
user = dmarcresports@example.com
password = $uperSecure

[elasticsearch]
hosts = 127.0.0.1:9200
ssl = False
[splunk_hec]
url = https://splunkhec.example.com

Sample aggregate report output
Here are the results from parsing the example report from the dmarc.org wiki. It’s actually an older draft of the the 1.0 report schema standardized in RFC 7480 Appendix C. This draft schema is still in wide use.
parsedmarc produces consistent, normalized output, regardless of the report schema.
