reverse ip lookup for domains
« Reply #1 on: June 11, 2004, 02:51:37 PM »
Hello, you can use dig or nslookup,

dig -x 123.123.123.123

Where 123.123.123.123 is the ip number. dig show to you the domain name that the ip have. Here is an example:

dig -x 200.93.220.18
 
; <<>> DiG 9.2.2-P3 <<>> -x 200.93.220.18
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 41002

The nslookup use is similar,

nslookup 200.93.220.18
Note:  nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead.  Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.
Server:         200.93.220.2
Address:        200.93.220.2#53
 
18.220.93.200.in-addr.arpa      name = srv.eth0.www.manta.telconet.net.

Hope this help.  :)
