Reverse DNS - jacob-dinapoli/tech-journal GitHub Wiki

Reverse DNS does the exact opposite of the traditional DNS, which is instead of resolving a domain name to an IP, it resolves an IP to a host name.

How to perform a reverse DNS lookup?

• The use of the command 'dig' is used to perform a reverse DNS lookup. By following with the -x option, you can perform a simple reverse lookup to map address to names.
• The use of the command 'host' can also be used to perform a reverse DNS lookup.
