A bash tool to make querying multiple record types / multiple domains from the CLI much easier, with the ability to display the records in several different formats.

Quickstart

# Via wget
wget -O /usr/local/bin/scandomain https://github.com/Privex/scandomain/raw/master/scandomain
# Via curl
curl -fsSL https://github.com/Privex/scandomain/raw/master/scandomain -o /usr/local/bin/scandomain

# Make it executable
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/scandomain

Install

Dependencies

• Bash (4.x recommended - standard on Linux systems, not standard on BSD systems)
• dig (can be found in the package bind-tools or dnstools)

For debian/ubuntu based systems:

apt update
apt install bind-tools

For FreeBSD and some other BSDs:

pkg install bash bind-tools

For macOS:

brew install bash bind-tools

Install directly into your bin folder using wget/curl

If you're able to write to /usr/local/bin:

# Via wget
wget -O /usr/local/bin/scandomain https://github.com/Privex/scandomain/raw/master/scandomain
# Via curl
curl -fsSL https://github.com/Privex/scandomain/raw/master/scandomain -o /usr/local/bin/scandomain

# Make it executable
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/scandomain

If you can't / don't want to install globally, you can install it locally into your ~/.local/bin folder - just make sure it's in your PATH:

# Via wget
wget -O ~/.local/bin/scandomain https://github.com/Privex/scandomain/raw/master/scandomain
# Via curl
curl -fsSL https://github.com/Privex/scandomain/raw/master/scandomain -o ~/.local/bin/scandomain

# Make it executable
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/scandomain

Install by cloning the Git repo

Alternatively, if you prefer, you can clone the repo and install from the cloned Git repo instead.

This may be helpful if you want to use a specific tag, make it easier to update in the future using git pull, or so you have the README and LICENSE on hand locally :)

git clone https://github.com/Privex/scandomain.git
cd scandomin

# If you're able to write to /usr/local/bin
install scandomain /usr/local/bin/

# If you can't / don't want to install globally, you can install it locally into
# your ~/.local/bin folder - just make sure it's in your PATH
install scandomain ~/.local/bin/

# If you don't have the 'install' command, you can simply cp it, just make
# sure to chmod +x it
cp -v scandomain /usr/local/bin/
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/scandomain
# Or install into your user bin folder:
cp -v scandomain ~/.local/bin/
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/scandomain

# Alternatively, you can run it straight from the repo folder!
./scandomain example.com
./scandomain --help
