• Simple and Handy utility to query DNS records.

Usage

dnsprobe -h

This will display help for the tool. Here are all the switches it supports.

Flag	Description	Example
-c	Max dns retries (default 1)	dnsprobe -c 5
-l	List of dns domains (optional)	dnsprobe -l domains.txt
-r	Request Type A, NS, CNAME, SOA, PTR, MX, TXT, AAAA	dnsprobe -r A
-s	List of resolvers (optional)	dnsprobe -s resolvers.txt
-t	Number of concurrent requests to make (default 250)	dnsprobe -t 500
-f	Output type	dnsprobe -f json
-o	Output file (optional)	dnsprobe -o result.txt

Installation Instructions

From Source

dnsprobe requires go1.13+ to install successfully. Run the following command to get the repo -

GO111MODULE=on go get -v github.com/projectdiscovery/dnsprobe

Running in a Docker Container

• Clone the repo using git clone https://github.com/projectdiscovery/dnsprobe.git
• Build your docker container

> docker build -t projectdiscovery/dnsprobe .

• After building the container using either way, run the following -

> docker run -it projectdiscovery/dnsprobe

For example, to query a list of domains for CNAME record and output the results to your host file system:

> cat domains.txt | docker run -i projectdiscovery/dnsprobe -r CNAME > bugcrowd.txt

Querying host for A record

To query a list of domains, you can pass the list via stdin (it also accepts full URLS, in this case the domain is extracted automatically).

> cat domains.txt | dnsprobe

root@test:~# cat bc.txt | dnsprobe
bounce.bugcrowd.com 192.28.152.174
blog.bugcrowd.com 104.20.4.239
blog.bugcrowd.com 104.20.5.239

Querying host for CNAME record

> dnsprobe -l domains.txt -r CNAME

root@test:~# dnsprobe -l bc.txt -r CNAME

This will run the tool against domains in domains.txt and returns the results. The tool uses the resolvers specified with -s option to perform the queries or default system resolvers.

Querying CNAME records on the Subfinder output

> subfinder -d bugcrowd.com -silent | dnsprobe -r cname
