DomainToDNSName ZT

From Paterva Wiki

DomainToDNSName_ZT

This transform attempts a zone transfer (AXFR) on the Domain. You can read more on a zone transfer at Wikipedia . If possible it extracts the Cnames and A records from the zone as DNSName. If a zone transfer is possible then all the DNS names associated with the domain is returned, and there is no need to brute force it anymore. The results of a succcessful zone transfer normally results in a very happy analyst as resolving these DNS names to IPAddress gives a very good indication of the network location of the target.

Typical uses

Used in infrastructure footprinting for finding the network location of a target
