dnsrecon

DNSRecon is a Python script that 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.
• Enumerate Hosts and Subdomains using Google

                [--disable_check_bindversion] [-V] [-v] [-t TYPE]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d, --domain DOMAIN   Target domain.
  -n, --name_server NS_SERVER
                        Domain server to use. If none is given, the SOA of the target will be used. Multiple servers can be specified using a comma separated list.
  -r, --range RANGE     IP range for reverse lookup brute force in formats   (first-last) or in (range/bitmask).
  -D, --dictionary DICTIONARY
                        Dictionary file of subdomain and hostnames to use for brute force.
  -f                    Filter out of brute force domain lookup, records that resolve to the wildcard defined IP address when saving records.
  -a                    Perform AXFR with standard enumeration.
  -s                    Perform a reverse lookup of IPv4 ranges in the SPF record with standard enumeration.
  -b                    Perform Bing enumeration with standard enumeration.
  -y                    Perform Yandex enumeration with standard enumeration.
  -k                    Perform crt.sh enumeration with standard enumeration.
  -w                    Perform deep whois record analysis and reverse lookup of IP ranges found through Whois when doing a standard enumeration.
  -z                    Performs a DNSSEC zone walk with standard enumeration.
  --threads THREADS     Number of threads to use in reverse lookups, forward lookups, brute force and SRV record enumeration.
  --lifetime LIFETIME   Time to wait for a server to respond to a query. default is 3.0
  --tcp                 Use TCP protocol to make queries.
  --db DB               SQLite 3 file to save found records.
  -x, --xml XML         XML file to save found records.
  -c, --csv CSV         Save output to a comma separated value file.
  -j, --json JSON       save output to a JSON file.
  --iw                  Continue brute forcing a domain even if a wildcard record is discovered.
  --disable_check_recursion
                        Disables check for recursion on name servers
  --disable_check_bindversion
                        Disables check for BIND version on name servers
  -V, --version         Show DNSrecon version
  -v, --verbose         Enable verbose
  -t, --type TYPE       Type of enumeration to perform.
                        Possible types:
                            std:      SOA, NS, A, AAAA, MX and SRV.
                            rvl:      Reverse lookup of a given CIDR or IP range.
                            brt:      Brute force domains and hosts using a given dictionary.
