DNS Probe Module

Zixuan_Xie edited this page Mar 14, 2025 · 1 revision

Unlike ZMap, in addition to providing ICMP, TCP SYN and UDP probe modules, we also offer a DNS scan module. This module is specifically designed to perform DNS-related queries and scans, enabling users to discover DNS servers, resolve domain names, and gather information about DNS configurations.

Added in XMap v.2.0.0

  • New feature:
    • new module dnsx : enable DNS over IPv6
    • new module dnsa (IPv4&IPv6): enable changing source port & TXID when sending multiple queries towards the same target <IP, port>
    • new module dnsae (IPv4&IPv6): enable changing source port & TXID when sending multiple queries towards the same target <IP, port> with EDNS0=4096
    • new module dnsan (IPv4&IPv6): enable fixed source port & TXID when sending multiple queries towards the same target <IP, port>
    • new module dnsane (IPv4&IPv6): enable fixed source port & TXID when sending multiple queries towards the same target <IP, port> with EDNS0=4096
    • new module dnsane16 (IPv4&IPv6): enable fixed source port & TXID when sending multiple queries towards the same target <IP, port> with EDNS0=65535
    • new module dnsai (IPv4&IPv6): enable changing TXID when sending multiple queries towards the same target <IP, port>
    • new module dnsaie (IPv4&IPv6): enable changing TXID when sending multiple queries towards the same target <IP, port> with EDNS0=4096
    • new module dnsap (IPv4&IPv6): enable changing source port when sending multiple queries towards the same target <IP, port>
    • new module dnsape (IPv4&IPv6): enable changing source port when sending multiple queries towards the same target <IP, port> with EDNS0=4096
    • new module dnsaf (IPv4&IPv6): enable changing source port & TXID when sending multiple queries towards the same target <IP, port> with fake source IP
    • new module dnsafe (IPv4&IPv6): enable changing source port & TXID when sending multiple queries towards the same target <IP, port> with EDNS0=4096 & source IP
