DNSRecon
DNSRecon is a Python port of a Ruby script that I wrote to learn the language and about DNS in early 2007.
This time I wanted to learn about Python and extend the functionality of the original tool and in the process re-learn how DNS works and how could it be used in the process of a security assessment and network troubleshooting.
This script provides the ability to perform:
Check all NS Records for Zone Transfers.
Enumerate General DNS Records for a given Domain (MX, SOA, NS, A, AAAA, SPF and TXT).
Perform common SRV Record Enumeration.
Top Level Domain (TLD) Expansion.
Check for Wildcard Resolution.
Brute Force subdomain and host A and AAAA records given a domain and a wordlist.
Perform a PTR Record lookup for a given IP Range or CIDR.
Check a DNS Server Cached records for A, AAAA and CNAME Records provided a list of host records in a text file to check.
Python Version
DNSRecon requires python3.6+
