🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, meet dnssecwalk(8) — it's the DNSSEC NSEC walking tool from the IPv6 toolkit, and this is its manual page. No cap, that's the intro. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dnssecwalk [-e46t] dns-server domain

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -e — ensures that the domain is present in found addresses, and quits otherwise. Like, if it's not there, it's out. 💀
  • -4 — resolves found entries to IPv4 addresses. Classic. 🌈
  • -6 — resolves found entries to IPv6 addresses. Future-forward icon behavior. 👑
  • -t — use TCP instead of UDP. A whole different transport vibe. ✨

The main-character assignment is literally: Perform DNSSEC NSEC walking. That's the whole move. 🎀

Example, because examples eat every time:

dnssecwalk dns.test.com test.com
