Reverse IP Lookups

Doggo supports reverse IP lookups, allowing you to find the domain name associated with a given IP address. This feature is particularly useful for network diagnostics, security analysis, and understanding the ownership of IP addresses.

Performing a Reverse IP Lookup

To perform a reverse IP lookup, use the --reverse flag followed by the IP address:

Terminal window
doggo --reverse 8.8.4.4

Short Output Format

You can combine the reverse lookup with the --short flag to get a concise output:

Terminal window
doggo --reverse 8.8.4.4 --short
dns.google.

This command returns only the domain name associated with the IP address, without any additional information.

Full Output Format

Without the --short flag, Doggo will provide more detailed information:

Terminal window
$ doggo --reverse 8.8.4.4
NAME                    TYPE    CLASS   TTL     ADDRESS     NAMESERVER
4.4.8.8.in-addr.arpa.   PTR     IN      21599s  dns.google. 127.0.0.53:53

IPv6 Support

Reverse IP lookups also work with IPv6 addresses:

Terminal window
$ doggo --reverse 2001:4860:4860::8888 --short
dns.google.
