The prevalence, persistence, and perils of lame delegations (2021)

The Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names to IP addresses. Lame delegations, causing delays and security risks, stem from unreachable nameservers and misconfigurations. Passive analysis detects issues, with 50% in .BIZ domain.

Looks super cool! Can you share more about why you built this, design decisions, and other behind the scenes context?

Amazing naming choice - doggos like to dig!

Very nice to also have it dockerized. You might just want to add in the documentation the `--rm` parameter for cleanup after running and `-t` for the colors. So it will be

  docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/mr-karan/doggo:latest mrkaran.dev MX

I have a silly question I guess... why does it print everything out twice?

Would be amazing is this tool would add support for the equivalent of query type ANY

An awesome project, I learned about it last year through developing the x-cmd pkg, at that time the latest version was 0.5.7, now it's 1.0.2, it seems necessary to upgrade the version.

Here is a demo video, you can take a look: https://x-cmd.com/pkg/doggo

Is there any reason why so many of those tools are written in Go? Is it because of a stdlib or just accidental?
By @emmanueloga_ - 4 months
Is this related to Dog [1]? They look almost identical in functionality.

Both ask for the specific query to run (A, AAAA, etc.). Why not default to query all records? (at least when querying a single domain).

Congrats for the 1.0 release!

doggo has been my main DNS tool for a while, now. Love it!

I'd not encourage the usage of an AUR helper. Just pointing to the AUR page should be enough.

   go: downloading github.com/mr-karan/doggo v0.5.7
   go: github.com/mr-karan/doggo/cmd@latest: 
       module github.com/mr-karan/doggo@latest found (v0.5.7), 
       but does not contain package github.com/mr-karan/doggo/cmd

Love this, thank you!

Is there a way to query all DNS records? (I was surprised to learn that isn't the default.) This would be really helpful for troubleshooting people's Caddy questions (which are actually DNS problems).

404 page not found, have you received many requests? The project is very interesting, I like the interface. Congratulations
By @obviyus - 4 months
Pretty! Time to alias dig to doggo for a few days ;)

BTW I really enjoyed reading your blog on Nomad while setting up our own clusters, kudos!

Is this a client to query DNS servers, like digg or dogg?

Or is it a client to control and configure the DNS servers a computer is using?

or both?

By @vladvasiliu - 4 months
Is there a way to run the web interface locally?

BTW, the "visit demo" link in the docs returns 404.

We developed "geodns" for situations where you want to do DNS lookups from different regions around the world. For example, ycombinator.com returns different IPs depending on your location:

  $ geodns ycombinator.com

Shameless plug for folks looking for something similar, but on the web: I was fed up with Google's slow/janky dig webface, so built my own. (Still very WIP, but already works better as a daily driver than Google's!)

Another shameless plug for my website, you can use ipkitten.com to get your public IP address from your terminal:

  $ curl ipkitten.com
  27.44.144.144
And if you visit it in a browser, you get your IP address and a kitten GIF!:
