How to use dnstracer in Kali Linux


Intro - dnstracer determines where a given Domain Name Server ( DNS) gets its information from, and follows the chain of DNS servers back to the servers knows the data. The tool works by sending the specified name-server a non-recursive request for the name. If the name server does returns an authoritative answer for the name, the next server is queried. If it returns an non-authoritative answer for the name, the name servers in the authority records will be queried. The program stops if all name-servers are queried. This tool objective is to map the target till we reach the root name servers.
