Description: DNS proxy for penetration testers
DNSChef is a highly configurable DNS proxy for Penetration
Testers and Malware Analysts. A DNS proxy (aka "Fake DNS")
is a tool used for application network traffic analysis
among other uses. For example, a DNS proxy can be used to
fake requests for "badguy.com" to point to a local machine
for termination or interception instead of a real host
somewhere on the Internet.
