tor-resolve

Resolve domain names through the Tor network

SYNOPSIS

tor-resolve [options]

PARAMETERS

-h, --help
    Display help message and exit.


    The hostname or IP address to resolve.

DESCRIPTION

The tor-resolve command is a simple utility that allows you to resolve domain names and IP addresses through the Tor network.
It essentially uses Tor's SOCKS proxy to perform DNS resolution, thus hiding your IP address and location from the target domain or IP address.
This is useful for circumventing censorship, protecting your privacy, or accessing resources that are blocked in your region. It's a lightweight tool designed specifically for DNS queries over Tor, offering a quick and easy way to anonymize your DNS lookups.
It relies on a running Tor instance to function correctly. The command performs a reverse DNS lookup if an IP address is provided as input.

CAVEATS

Requires a running Tor instance configured as a SOCKS proxy. Ensure Tor is properly configured and running before using tor-resolve.

USAGE

To resolve a hostname, simply run `tor-resolve `. To resolve an IP address (reverse DNS lookup), run `tor-resolve `. The resolved address will be printed to standard output.

ERROR HANDLING

If Tor is not running or is not configured correctly, tor-resolve will likely return an error indicating a connection failure.
