β¨ NAME β¨
ldns-chaos β bestie, it spills the tea about a nameserver π
It's from the ldns manual, section 1 (general commands), and it is so much fun, iykyk π«Ά
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
ldns-chaos NAMESERVER
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
okay so picture this: you hand ldns-chaos a NAMESERVER, and the first thing it does is go get all the addresses of that nameserver. every single one. no crumbs left behind β¨
then β and this is the iconic part β it takes each of those addresses and queries it for its version.bind and its hostname.bind. that's it. that's the whole vibe check π₯
ngl, ldns-chaos is a bit more complex than ldns-mx. she's doing more. she's serving. main character energy, honestly π
π OPTIONS π
ldns-chaos has no options.
that's right, zero. none. she simply does not take notes from you. she has no flags, no switches, no little -h to hold her hand. just give her the NAMESERVER and let her cook π
π AUTHOR π
Written by the ldns team as an example for ldns usage. so like, it's a demo, but make it fashion π
