Find saved network results that mention a domain name or IP address.

Host

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.

Host

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.

Host

IP or domain (required)

NS server

DNS server IP or domain (optional)

Port

-port=number (server port, default 53)

Debug

Not set

-debug (show debug information)

-nodebug (no debug information in output, default)

Debug2

Not set

-d2 (show debug level 2 information)

-nod2 (no debug level 2 information in output, default)

~~Ping arguments and description~~

PING is the network command, which lets you check whether or not the host is alive and responding. The special protocol ICMP is used for pinging. See RFC 792 for ICMP protocol details. You can find the command arguments below.

Host

IP or domain (required)

Protocol

Not set (auto)

-4 (use IPv4 only)

-6 (use IPv6 only)

Packet size

-s number (default 56)

Map IP

Not set

-n (do not map IP to hostname)

MTU

Not set

-M do (prohibit fragmentation)

-M want (fragment locally when packet size is large)

-M dont (do not set DF flag)

Timestamp

Not set

-D (print timestamp)

~~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.

Host

IP or domain (required)

NS server

DNS server IP or domain (optional)

Protocol

Not set (auto)

-4 (use IPv4 only)

-6 (use IPv6 only)

All

Not set

-a (show all information, equivalent to -v -t ANY)

Verbose mode

Not set

-v (turn on verbose mode)

~~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.

Host

IP or domain (required)

Fragmentation

Not set (auto)

-F (do not fragment probe packets)

ICMP

Not set (UDP probes)

-I (use ICMP echo probes)

TCP

Not set

-T (use TCP SYN probes)

Map IP

Not set (auto)

-n (do not try to map IP to hostnames)

Protocol

Not set (auto)

-4 (IPv4)

-6 (IPv6)

Port

--udp=number (UDP destination port)

~~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)

~~Dig arguments and description~~

The DIG command is a part of BIND package, available on all linux distributives. It is used for querying Domain Name Servers (DNS) using standard operating system libraries and display answers from these DNS servers. Domain Information Groper (DIG) is useful for troubleshooting DNS issues. You can find DIG arguments below.

Host

IP or domain (required)

NS server

@server (optional)
