A small Python tool that brute-force matches IP addresses against domain names by binding Hosts headers, to discover weak or internal systems that only respond when the correct hostname is used. It reads ip.txt and hosts.txt and iterates over all combinations, with a multithreaded variant including a progress bar.

Use cases

• find internal systems that require hosts file binding during a pentest
• discover virtual hosts hidden behind an IP address
• match domains against IP ranges to find weakly configured hosts
• enumerate vhost mappings on a web server
• locate internal portals accessible only with correct Host header

When to choose

• you need a simple script to brute-force IP-to-hostname matching during penetration testing
• you want a lightweight multithreaded tool without heavy dependencies

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured vhost enumeration tool with TLS/SNI support
• you want an actively maintained tool with a license and recent updates
• you need a GUI or automated reporting
