A Python-based toolset for measuring, troubleshooting, and auditing DNS. It includes dnsping for latency measurement, dnstraceroute for tracing DNS request paths, and dnseval for comparing DNS resolvers.

Use cases

  • measure DNS server response time
  • detect ISP DNS hijacking or interception
  • traceroute DNS queries to see if they are redirected
  • compare latency and reliability of multiple DNS resolvers
  • audit DNS responses for unusual behavior
  • choose the best DNS resolver for my network

When to choose

  • you suspect your DNS traffic is being intercepted or hijacked
  • you need to benchmark DNS resolver performance and packet loss
  • you want ping/traceroute-style diagnostics specifically for DNS

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose DNS server or recursive resolver
  • you need a GUI-based DNS management tool
  • you need continuous DNS monitoring with alerting rather than on-demand diagnostics
