DNSMAPS: KALI LINUX TOOLS
SUMMARY:
DNSmap [Domain Name System] is a kali Linux tool. it maps domain names like example.com to IP addresses like 93.184.216.34. This allows computers and network devices to communicate with each other using IP addresses, which are unique numbers that are hard for humans to remember. DNSMAP, as the name suggests, is DNS Network Mapper, which is used for multiple purposes.
WHAT IS DNSMAPS?
DNSMAP is an passive Network Mapper, often called a sub domain brute force tool. This tool is mainly used by penetration testers and hackers for DNS and sub domain information gathering. This is the process of assigning IP addresses to domains, which allows users to access websites and other services using human-readable domain names.
HOW IT WORKS:
A DNS resolver finds the correct IP address for a hostname. When a user requests a DNS record, their web browser checks its cache first. If the record is not in the cache, the browser sends a query to a DNS resolver, which may go through multiple iterations before returning an answer.
During the enumeration stage, the security consultant would typically discover the target company's IP netblocks, domain names, phone numbers, etc.
CONSEQUENCES OF DNSMAPS:
1. WEBSITE INACCESSIBILITY: A DNS attack can make a website inaccessible.
2. DATA THEFT: Attackers can redirect users to phishing websites that collect private information like usernames, passwords, or credit card details.
3. MALWARE INFECTION: Attackers can redirect users to websites that automatically download malware or spyware to their devices.
4. DAMAGED REPUTATION: DNS attacks can damage a company's reputation.
HOW TO USE:
1. BASIC USAGE
dnsmap example.com
2. USING A WORDLIST
dnsmap example.com -w /usr/share/wordlists/dnsmaps.txt
3. COMMAND FOR IP ADDRESS
dnsmap example.com --only-ip
4. DNSBULK USAGE EXAMPLE
echo "example.com" >> domains.txt
echo "example.org" >> domains.txt
