Deep Dig is a sophisticated DNS lookup tool that features DNS trace capabilities and maintains a history of queries. This utility enables users to swiftly retrieve DNS records by simply indicating record types, custom servers, ports, and other parameters, similar to how one would use the dig command line tool. It supports a variety of record types, including A, AAAA, ANY, CNAME, PTR, NS, MX, SOA, and SRV, along with the "-t type" option for queries. Additionally, users can utilize the "+trace" and "+all" options directly in the query or hostname fields. The tool allows for specification of a custom DNS server and port using the "-h host" and "-p port" options, while also accommodating custom DNS server types in the query. It provides automatic DNS query capabilities to local multicast IP addresses and can query Bonjour/mDNS servers as well. Furthermore, Deep Dig supports queries to LLMNR servers and automatically conducts reverse DNS (PTR) lookups when an IPv4 or IPv6 address is entered. As an added feature, it offers automatic identification of the country associated with an IP address or domain name when resolving it. This comprehensive functionality makes Deep Dig an invaluable resource for network administrators and IT professionals alike.
