💖 LLMNR-QUERY 💖

okay so bestie, this is llmnr-query from the llmnrd fam — it's the little command-line cutie that goes and yells at your local network asking "hey who is this hostname" 💅

✨ NAME ✨

llmnr-query — the LLMNR (RFC 4795) query tool 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

llmnr-query [options] name

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So what this does is it sends LLMNR queries out to the LLMNR multicast address — that's 224.0.0.252 if you're on IPv4, and ff02:0:0:0:0:0:1:3 if you're on IPv6, no cap 💫

And name? That's the hostname you're querying. That's literally it. You give it a name, it goes and asks the multicast address about it. main character energy fr fr 👑

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -c <num>, --count <num> — how many queries you wanna send out into the void (default: 1). one (1) single lonely query unless you say otherwise 🥺
  • -d <num>, --id <num> — sets the LLMNR transaction id (default: 0). yes bestie, you get to pick the id yourself 😌
  • -i <num>, --interval <num> — the gap between queries, measured in milliseconds (default: 500). so it's not spamming, it's pacing 🧚
  • -I <dev>, --interface <dev> — send the multicast query out over a specific interface, like eth0 or wlan0. pick your fave network baby 🌈
  • -t <num>, --timeout <num> — how long you're willing to sit there waiting for a reply, in milliseconds (default: 1000). patience is a virtue but it's also a number 💀
  • -T <type>, --type <type> — set the query type. it must be one of A, AAAA, or ANY (default: ANY). no other options, the gatekeeping is real 🙈
  • -6, --ipv6 — send your queries over IPv6 instead. glow up 🌟
  • -h, --help — shows you the usage info, aka the instructions when you're lost 🫶
  • -V, --version — shows you the llmnr-query version. iconique 💅
