drill: Perform DNSSEC trace from root servers down to a domain name.
$ drill -TD ${example-com}
try on your machine
The command "drill -TD ${example-com}" is used to query the DNS (Domain Name System) for the text records (TXT) of the domain "example.com" using the "drill" command-line tool.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"drill": This is the command-line tool for querying DNS information.
-
"-TD": These are options or flags provided to the "drill" command.
- "-T" specifies the query type as TXT (text).
- "-D" enables DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions), which provides added security to DNS queries.
-
"${example-com}": This is a placeholder for the domain name you want to query. In this case, it is set to "example.com". You would replace this with the actual domain name you want to query, without the brackets.
By running this command, you will get the text records (TXT) associated with the specified domain name using the drill tool.
