Dig Linux
Dig stands for ( Domain Information Groper ) is a network adminstration
command-line tool for querying Domain Name System ( DNS ) name servers.
It is useful for verifying and troubleshooting DNS problems and also to
perform DNS lookups and displays the answer that are returned from the
name server that were queried. dig is part of the BIND domain name
server software suite. dig command replaces older tool such as nslookup
and the host. dig tool is available in major Linux distributions.
DNS is the service that translates a domain name like hackingtruth.in or
google.com to the appropriate IP address; that way, your system knows
how to get to it. Without DNS, we would all have to remember thousands
of IP addresses for our favorite websites—no small task even for a
savant. CEH v10 Dig in Linux
One of the most useful commands for the aspiring hacker is dig ,which
offers a way to gather DNS information about a target domain. The stored
DNS information can be a key piece of early reconnaissance to obtain
before attacking. This information could include the IP address of the
target’s nameserver (the server that translates the target’s name to an
IP address), the target’s email server, and potentially any subdomains
and IP addresses.
For instance, enter dig hackers-arise.com and add the ns option (short
for nameserver). The nameserver for google.com is displayed in the answer
section.
