2. run with any domain: dnsrecon -d
3. See error

Expected it to work

Additional context
Python is 3.9.5
I thought this may be an issue with extended ping (some of my VPN endpoints get up to ~100ms range), so I switched to a closer VPN gateway (8ms) and still the problem persists. Also tried playing with --lifetime flag but nothing changed. Then I did a full system upgrade just to be sure, still nothing.

I am experiencing the same issue. I don't have any ideas for fixing but wanted to comment to confirm that it is reproducible on my machine.

[L1ghtn1ng]

This should be fixed in master, need to make sure you are using the latest release

Appears to match the release on 4/5 0.10.1

Also dnsrecon -V returns DNSRecon version 0.10.1 ( http://www.darkoperator.com )

[someotherkyle]

Strangely enough, version 0.10.0 packaged with kali works fine on my vm -- will try rolling back to 0.10.0 on blackarch to see if the issue persists

[someotherkyle]

Confirmed that this issue is present in 0.10.1 and is not present in 0.10.0 on blackarch.

Trying with ArcoLinux, same problem.
dnsrecon -d google.com

python-dnspython version (community, 1.16.0-3 as of today June 30th, 2021) in Arch Linux (and most likely BlackArch and ArcoLinux) uses deprecated dns.resolver.Resolver.query. Once you install python-dnspython-git from AUR and it should work.

edit community version has been flagged out of date since Nov 2020 but hasn't been updated, so quick workaround is through AUR

[L1ghtn1ng]

Yeah that will be the problem

Thanks for that, had not managed to dig into it yet but yes that is the cause for this issue.

[L1ghtn1ng]

You can also install it here https://github.com/rthalley/dnspython but recommend using a virtualenv but using AUR to install the new dnspython version would be easier

[shaworee]

Thank you all for your comments. I'm a mere network administrator, so it would take me a little while to get these things up and running.
For all non-pythoners, here are steps that has worked for me:

1. Check your dnspython version with command pip show dnspython
2. If your version is different with github version (at the time version is listed here https://github.com/rthalley/dnspython#readme)
3. If version is not the same. You can uninstall old package and install new one with these commands:
   pip uninstall dnspython
   pip install git+https://github.com/rthalley/dnspython
4. now package dnsrecon works without previous error (AttributeError: 'Resolver' object has no attribute 'resolve')

Hope this helps someone
