Description: tool to enumerate domain DNS information
Dnsenum is a multithreaded perl script to enumerate DNS information of a
domain and to discover non-contiguous ip blocks. The main purpose of Dnsenum
is to gather as much information as possible about a domain. The program
currently performs the following operations:
.
- Get the host's addresses (A record).
- Get the namservers (threaded).
- Get the MX record (threaded).
- Perform axfr queries on nameservers and get BIND versions(threaded).
- Get extra names and subdomains via google scraping (google query =
"allinurl: -www site:domain").
- Brute force subdomains from file, can also perform recursion on subdomain
that have NS records (all threaded).
- Calculate C class domain network ranges and perform whois queries on them
(threaded).
- Perform reverse lookups on netranges (C class or/and whois netranges)
(threaded).
- Write to domain_ips.txt file ip-blocks.
.
This program is useful for pentesters, ethical hackers and forensics experts.
It also can be used for security tests.
