Kali Linux Tool: WHOIS – Uncover Domain and IP Information

Are you looking for a simple yet powerful tool to gather domain and IP information? The WHOIS tool in Kali Linux is a must-have for cybersecurity professionals, penetration testers, and IT administrators.

What is WHOIS?

WHOIS is a command-line utility that allows users to retrieve publicly available registration information about domain names, IP addresses, and autonomous system numbers (ASNs). This information is essential for security assessments, digital forensics, and network investigations.

Key Features of WHOIS

Domain Name Lookup – Find domain ownership details, including registrant information, registration dates, and name servers.
IP Address Information – Identify the organization or ISP responsible for an IP address.
Network Enumeration – Use WHOIS data to map networks and understand their structure.
Cybersecurity Investigations – Detect suspicious domains, investigate phishing websites, and analyze potential threats.

How to Use WHOIS in Kali Linux

Using WHOIS is simple. Open a terminal and run the following command:

bash
whois example.com

Replace example.com with the domain you want to investigate.
