ISC Dig and Host
Dig and host from BIND are extremely useful but ISC no longer supplies Windoze builds so use Chocolatey to install the bind-toolsonly package.
choco install bind-toolsonly
If you use the host
command and notice that the search suffixes aren't working:
- Create the file “C:\Program Files\ISC BIND 9\etc\resolv.conf”
- Put the line
search example.com example.org
in your new resolv.conf file.
If you want shorter answers from dig create a .digrc file with +noall +answer
in it. Dig uses the HOME environment variable to find the .digrc file so do, set HOME=FOLDER_WITH_DIGRC
.
