I found a python or maybe perl(?) script, but I really don't want to install "all that" on Windows. Is there any automated/easy way to convert this to run as classic ASP page, or as a PowerShell script?

The source script is at: https://github.com/artemdinaburg/bitsquat-script/blob/master/bitsquat.py

  • It's a python script. The clue is at the top of the file: #!/usr/bin/env python. Commented Aug 4, 2014 at 2:38

Short answer - no for powershell, or else it would have shown on a google search, yes for .net in general, which might remove the hassle of maintaining perl enviroments on target computers. This is the perl answer but i expect the python answer to be similar

Long answer - There shouldn't be, as the miniscule advantage of such a program will probably pale in comaprison of the complexity of such a program (which will entail interpreting the script and converting it to the foreign language, essentailly doing the job of an interpretor TWICE). I think a better question is whether it is even worth it. Consider this - this script uses c style functions (gethostbyname) in a python script that you want to use in a .net enviroment under the powershell scripting language. Researching native powershell solutions in powershell libraries or going as far as using .net methods inside of powershell (see here) will yield an easier to debug (and change in case of future needs) script than compiling or converting a script into a foreign language. tl;dr if you are going to use powershell, the best solution is to write powershell from the start. (or to not use powershell at all)

No.

(I'm sure you could find a freelancer to do it for you though)
