IP or domain (required)

~~Related arguments and description~~

Find hosts that appear alongside an IP address or domain in cached command results.

Host

IP or domain (required)

~~Subdomains arguments and description~~

Find known subdomains in cached command results. This searches the cache and does not perform a live scan.

Domain (required)

~~Nslookup arguments and description~~

NSLOOKUP is a programm for querying NS server for a specified domain. This tool is commonly used for detecting the IP address of the domain (A record), but can be used for receiving other NS records. It is very similar to DIG command. Unlike DIG, NSLOOKUP is based on its own resolver library.

~~Whois arguments and description~~

WHOIS searches Whois servers for the object (domain or IP). The special WHOIS protocol is used for querying the Whois servers. See RFC 3912 for the protocol specification. This command is available on all linux systems and has a lot of arguments. The most important argument is host address. See the arguments decription below.

Host

IP or domain (required)

~~Host arguments and description~~

HOST is a DNS lookup utility. You can use it to convert names to IP addresses and vice versa. It is similar to DIG and NSLOOKUP. This command is available on all linux distributives. There are several arguments. You can find decription of the arguments below.

IP or domain (required)

NS server

DNS server IP or domain (optional)

Protocol

Not set (auto)

~~Traceroute arguments and description~~

TRACEROUTE is the network diagnostic command. This command tracks the route packets taken from an IP network on their way to a given host. ICMP or UDP packets are used. See the command arguments below.

IP or domain (required)

~~Geoiplookup arguments and description~~

GEOIPLOOKUP lets you detect the location of a host. A preparsed WHOIS database is used for detecting the location of IP or domain. There are a lot of independent geoip databases in the Internet, so the same host can have different locations in those databases. GEOIPLOOKUP is not a built-in Linux command. The command has only one argument - host address.

Host

IP address (required)

It is used for querying Domain Name Servers (DNS) using standard operating system libraries and display answers from these DNS servers.
