Available Random Domain Generator in C#

[Palyriot]

I was bored and decided to make an available random domain generator in C#, inspired by Jim_'s thread, Available 3-Character Domain Scanner. I know some of you are going to complain that it may spam whois servers, but you can just add a few more whois websites to the "whoisWebsites" array. It's not commented, because I hate commenting, but if there are any questions, feel free to ask. I also know that people will fix and add stuff to this, so feel free to.

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;

class Program
{
    static Random rand = new Random();

    static void Main()
    {
        //Config
        const int NUMBER_OF_DOMAINS_TO_CHECK = 10; //Will actually check this amount multiplied by the number of extensions listed below.
        const int LENGTH_OF_DOMAINS = 4;
        const bool UPPERCASE = false;
        string[] extensions = new string[] {"com", "net", "org"};

        Console.WriteLine("Checking {0} domains: \n", (NUMBER_OF_DOMAINS_TO_CHECK * extensions.Length));

        int domainCount = 0;
        for (int i = 1; i <= NUMBER_OF_DOMAINS_TO_CHECK; i++)
        {
            string domain = CreateDomain(LENGTH_OF_DOMAINS, UPPERCASE);
            

            foreach (string extension in extensions)
            {
                Console.Write(domain + "." + extension);

                if (CheckDomain(domain + "." + extension))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(" <---Available---");
                    domainCount++;
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine();
                }
            }
        }
        if (domainCount != 0)
            Console.WriteLine("\n{0} available domains found.", domainCount);
        else
            Console.WriteLine("No domains found.");


        Console.Read();
    }

    static bool CheckDomain(string domain)
    {
        string[] whoisWebsites = new string[] {"http://registrar.verisign-grs.com/cgi-bin/whois?whois_nic="};
        WebClient reader = new WebClient();
        string url = whoisWebsites[rand.Next(0, whoisWebsites.Length - 1)] + domain;
        byte[] reqHTML;
        reqHTML = reader.DownloadData(url);
        UTF8Encoding objUTF8 = new UTF8Encoding();
        string contents = objUTF8.GetString(reqHTML);

        if (contents.IndexOf("No match") == -1 && contents.IndexOf("Not Found") == -1)
        {
            return false;
        }
        else
        {
            return true;
        }
    }

    static string CreateDomain(int length, bool uppercase)
    {
        string domain = null;

        for (int i = 1; i <= length; i++)
        {
            char letter = (char)rand.Next(97, 123);
            domain += letter.ToString();
        }

        if (uppercase)
            domain = domain.ToUpper();

        return domain;
        
    }
}

This looks pretty cool.

I will give it a try later. I always looked for C# domain tools :great:

very neat indeed.

If anyone is unsure at the moment the tool creates random domain names of 4 characters. It then checks whether the .com, .net and .org are taken for that phrase. It does this for 10 phrases at a time.
