## What it is
A Python CLI tool that enumerates and exports all DNS records in Active Directory Integrated DNS zones using any authenticated domain user's credentials. It is used for internal network reconnaissance during penetration tests and red team engagements.

## Use cases
- dump all DNS records from an Active Directory zone
- enumerate internal network hosts during a pentest
- perform a DNS zone transfer equivalent in AD
- map internal subdomains with authenticated credentials
- export AD DNS records to a file for recon
- run DNS enumeration through a proxychains implant

## When to choose
- you have valid AD credentials and need to enumerate internal DNS records
- you are doing internal network reconnaissance in a Windows domain
- you want a lightweight Python tool that works over LDAP/SAMR or via proxychains

## When to avoid
- you need to enumerate DNS on non-Active Directory DNS servers
- you lack any authenticated domain user credentials
- you need a GUI or automated scanning framework rather than a focused CLI tool
