Puredns is a fast command-line domain resolver and subdomain bruteforcing tool written in Go. It uses massdns for bulk DNS lookups and applies a wildcard detection algorithm plus trusted-resolver validation to filter out wildcard subdomains and DNS-poisoned entries.

Use cases

  • bruteforce subdomains of a domain using a wordlist
  • resolve a large list of domains quickly with public resolvers
  • filter wildcard subdomains from DNS enumeration results
  • clean up massdns output polluted by false positives
  • detect DNS poisoning in resolution results
  • integrate DNS resolution into bug bounty recon pipelines via stdin

When to choose

  • you need accurate subdomain enumeration for bug bounty or recon
  • you want fast bulk DNS resolution with wildcard filtering
  • you need pipeline-friendly stdin/stdout DNS tooling

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose DNS server or recursive resolver
  • you only need a handful of DNS lookups and a simple dig-style tool suffices
  • you require a GUI or managed service rather than a CLI
