DNS Client

Simple DNS client based on unidns. Only TCP is supported currently! The DNS client is integrated into other functionalities within OctoPwn. In order to resolve queries for IPs automatically, you need to create a DNS session and set it as a default resolver for all future targets.

Getting started

  • To create the DNS client, add the DNS server as target and create the client with the DNS server selected as target. You don't need to provide any credentials.
  • Recommended: In order to use the DNS client to automatically resolve IP addresses withing OctoPwn you need to go to Global Settings > Resolver and enter the session id of your DNS client there. This is necessary if you want to add targets by DNS name or want to use Kerberos.
