dnsx

A fast and multi-purpose DNS toolkit to run multiple DNS queries.

TLDR

Query the A record of a (sub)domain and show [re]sponse received

$ echo [example.com] | dnsx -a -re
copy


Query all the DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, NS, TXT, SRV, PTR, MX, SOA, AXFR, CAA)
$ dnsx -recon -re <<< [example.com]
copy


Query a specific type of DNS record
$ echo [example.com] | dnsx -re -[a|aaaa|cname|ns|txt|srv|ptr|mx|soa|any|axfr|caa]
copy


Output [r]esponse [o]nly (do not show the queried domain or subdomain)
$ echo [example.com] | dnsx -ro
copy


Display raw response of a query, specifying [r]esolvers to use and retry attempts for failures
$ echo [example.com] | dnsx -[debug|raw] -resolver [1.1.1.1,8.8.8.8,...] -retry [number]
copy


Brute force DNS records using a placeholder
$ dnsx -domain [FUZZ.example.com] -wordlist [path/to/wordlist.txt] -re
copy


Brute force DNS records from a list of [d]omains and wordlists, appending [o]utput to a file with [n]o [c]olor codes
$ dnsx -domain [path/to/domain.txt] -wordlist [path/to/wordlist.txt] -re -output [path/to/output.txt] -no-color
copy


Extract CNAME records for the given list of subdomains, with [r]ate [l]imiting DNS queries per second
$ subfinder -silent -d [example.com] | dnsx -cname -re -rl [number]
copy
