FPDNS(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation FPDNS(1)

fpdns - DNS server fingeprinting tool

fpdns-d ] [ -f ] [ -F nchild ] [ -p port ] [ -Q srcaddr ] [ -r retry ] [ -s ] [ -S separator ] [ -t timeout ] [ -v ] [server(s)]

fpdns is a program that remotely determines DNS server versions. It does this by sending a series of borderline DNS queries which are compared against a table of responses and server versions.

False positives or incorrect versions may be reported when trying to identify a set of servers residing behind a load-balancing apparatus where the servers are of different implementations, when a specific implementation behaves like a forwarder, behind a firewall without statefull inspection or without Application Intelligence.
