Is there a built-in command line tool that will bởi reverse DNS look-ups in Windows? I.e., something lượt thích w.x.y.z => mycomputername

I've tried:

  • nslookup: seems lớn be forward look-up only.
  • host: doesn't exist
  • dig: also doesn't exist.

I found "What's the reverse DNS command line utility?" via a tìm kiếm, but this is specifically looking for a *nix utility, not a Windows one.

ping -a w.x.y.z

Should resolve the name from the IP address if the reverse lookup zone has been phối up properly. If the reverse lookup zone does not have an entry for the record, the -a will just ping without a name.

nslookup

Does what you're looking for. It will tell you the server you're querying and the result.

For example:

c:\>nslookup 192.168.101.39
Server: dns1.local
Address: 192.168.101.24

Name: enigma.local
Address: 192.168.101.39

The trouble with "ping" is that it's not strictly a name server lookup tool (like nslookup) - for instance if you ping a hostname, it can be resolved lớn an IP address by a number of methods: DNS lookup, host tệp tin lookup, WINS (god forbid) or NetBIOS broadcast. It can also return a potentially out-dated cached result.

The order in which the methods are tried, depends on the clients' TCP/IP configuration and node type flag:

  • B-node (1): Broadcast
  • P-node (2): Peer (WINS only)
  • M-node (4): Mixed (broadcast, then WINS)
  • H-node (8): Hybrid (WINS, then broadcast)

To see the node type of the current computer:

C:\>ipconfig /all | find "Node Type"
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid

If the resolution method is of no concern, use

ping -a w.x.y.z

or 

nslookup w.x.y.z

as you please. If you need lớn be sure you're querying your DNS server for the correct name, use nslookup.

Use NSLOOKUP with the "-type=ptr" parameter lớn query the IP address, syntax:

nslookup -type=ptr 1.2.3.4

Then the "in-addr.arpa" entry is also printed (even when not found), for example:

C:\Users\UserName>nslookup -type=ptr 8.8.8.8
Server:  MyDnsServerName
Address:  X.X.X.X

Non-authoritative answer:
8.8.8.8.in-addr.arpa    name = google-public-dns-a.google.com

Compared lớn the lower fidelity response when using NSLOOKUP on an IP address without the type parameter:

C:\Users\UserName>nslookup 8.8.8.8
Server:  MyDnsServerName
Address:  X.X.X.X

Name:    google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address:  8.8.8.8

nslookup will bởi reverse DNS on windows just as it can bởi it on linux.

Of course, there isn't a reverse entry for every ip address

You can use the standard NSLOOKUP command:

nslookup 123.123.123.123

In order lớn get a result there has lớn be a PTR record registered for the IP address in question.

nslookup will bởi reverse lookups in Windows.

Server:  my-dns-server

9 answers and no one said how lớn reverse lookup with dig? Its the best

dig -x w.x.y.z

Also, you can add "+short" for use in bash loops, scripts, etc.... forward or reverse :)

Under Windows....

Standard ping does NOT return host name of IP address

NSLookup can be used lớn find this info, if DNS is setup properly

Procedure as follows:

Open DOS prompt

NSLookup

set type=ptr

a.b.c.d

Results will be shown with reverse DNS server address, and host name

answered Jun 3, năm trước at 17:11

There is yet another way. Reverse the IP address and use nslookup

nslookup -type=PTR 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa

to resolve the address 1.2.3.4

If nslookup, dig, host does not exists, try this:

getent hosts google.de | awk '{ print $1 }'

Works e.g. on docker AWS ec2 instances (which really don't have anything installed)

In case there's no reverse ptr for ping -a or nslookup lớn show, you can run rẩy ipconfig /displaydns | clip, open a text editor, paste, and tìm kiếm for the IP there.

Note that this will work only if the original DNS query was done via the Windows DNS resolver - some apps bởi their own DNS queries, lượt thích newer browsers using DNS-over-HTTPS.

Example:

> ping -a 151.101.193.69
Pinging 151.101.193.69 with 32 bytes of data:
(...)

> ipconfig /displaydns | clip
(Open notepad, paste, tìm kiếm for 151.101.193.69)
