🌸 NAME 🌸

digger-vala — a modern, feature-rich DNS lookup tool that's literally a GUI for dig. no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

digger-vala

that's it. that's the whole vibe. just run it and go 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Digger is a graphical DNS lookup tool built with GTK4 and libadwaita. it gives you a clean, intuitive interface for querying DNS records, testing DNS servers, and analyzing domain information. it's so good, fr fr 💅

Here's the key features, and yes i'm listing every single one because they all ate:

  • Advanced DNS Queries — support for all the major DNS record types (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA, SRV, PTR, etc.) with DNSSEC validation on top. obsessed.
  • DNS Blacklist Checking — check IP addresses against multiple RBL providers, and it does them in parallel. multitasking queen 👑
  • Performance Monitor — real-time DNS latency visualization for the major providers. pretty graphs, we love to see it 📊
  • WHOIS Integration — domain registration lookup with intelligent caching. so you're not out here re-asking the same question 💀
  • Server Comparison — compare response times and results across multiple DNS servers. side by side, no drama 🌈
  • Batch Lookup — query multiple domains at once by loading them from CSV/TXT files. bulk behavior, iconic.
  • Export Manager — save your results to JSON, CSV, text, or Zone file formats. your data, your format, periodt.
  • History & Favorites — keep track of the queries you've run and save the domains that matter to you. it's the little things 🫶
  • Secure DNS — DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) support for Cloudflare, Google, and Quad9. secure-ish and cute.
  • Modern Interface — built with GTK4 and Libadwaita for a native GNOME feel, including smart autocomplete and clipboard integration. the way that it feels native?? incredible 🧚
