## What it is
DNSViz is a Python tool suite for analysis and visualization of DNS behavior, including DNSSEC security extensions. It provides command-line tools and powers the web-based analysis service at dnsviz.net.

## Use cases
- diagnose DNSSEC misconfigurations for a domain
- visualize DNS delegation and trust chain
- pre-deployment testing of DNS zones before going live
- audit DNSSEC signatures and key algorithms
- troubleshoot DNS resolution issues
- check DNS behavior across authoritative servers

## When to choose
- you need deep DNSSEC analysis and visualization
- you want to validate a zone before deployment
- you need a scriptable CLI for DNS diagnostics

## When to avoid
- you only need simple DNS lookups (use dig)
- you need a GUI-only tool without CLI
- you need continuous DNS monitoring with alerting out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: security, monitoring, developer-tools
- domain: networking, security, developer-tools
- platform: windows, python, cross-platform
- tags: dns, dnssec, network-diagnostics, visualization, command-line, linux, macos, docker
