LDNS - DNS & Domain Tools

Instant DNS records, WHOIS/RDAP data, email security analysis, and server info for any domain. Fast, private, no data collection.

LDNS is the essential DNS and domain toolkit for web developers, IT professionals, system administrators, and security researchers. Get instant access to DNS records, WHOIS/RDAP registration data, email security configuration, and server information - all from a single click in your browser toolbar. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CORE FEATURES • DNS Records — A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, CAA, CNAME via encrypted DoH • DNS Propagation — Compare records across Cloudflare, Google, and DNS.SB • Reverse DNS — Auto PTR lookups for A record IPs • WHOIS/RDAP — Registration, expiry, DNSSEC, domain age countdown • Email Security — SPF, DMARC, BIMI, MTA-STS analysis with provider detection • Server Info — Headers, redirects, response time, technology stack detection • Subdomain Discovery — Scan Certificate Transparency logs for subdomains • Privacy First — No accounts, no tracking, all queries direct to public services ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔍 DNS RECORDS Look up any DNS record type instantly using encrypted DNS-over-HTTPS: • A Records - IPv4 addresses • AAAA Records - IPv6 addresses • MX Records - Mail server configuration • TXT Records - SPF, DKIM, domain verification • NS Records - Nameservers • SOA Records - Start of authority • CAA Records - Certificate authority authorization • CNAME Records - Canonical names Choose your preferred DNS provider: • Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) - Fast, privacy-focused • Google (8.8.8.8) - Reliable, widely used • DNS.SB - Privacy-focused, no logging All queries use encrypted DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) for privacy and security. Filter results by record type and copy values with one click. DNS Propagation Comparison Toggle "Compare" to see records from all 3 providers side by side. Works with any record type filter. Mismatches are highlighted so you can spot propagation issues instantly. Reverse DNS (PTR) A record IPs are automatically resolved to their PTR hostnames, displayed inline below each record. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 WHOIS / RDAP DATA Get comprehensive domain registration information through the modern RDAP protocol: • Registrar - Who the domain is registered with • Registration Date - When the domain was first registered • Last Updated - Most recent modification date • Expiration Date - When the domain expires • Nameservers - Authoritative DNS servers • Domain Status - clientTransferProhibited, serverDeleteProhibited, etc. • DNSSEC - Whether the domain uses DNS Security Extensions Domain Age & Expiry Countdown • See how old the domain is at a glance • Days until expiration with color-coded urgency (green >90d, yellow 30-90d, red <30d) RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) is the modern replacement for WHOIS, providing structured, reliable data directly from domain registries. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📧 EMAIL SECURITY ANALYSIS Analyze any domain's email authentication and security configuration: MX Records & Provider Detection • View mail server priorities and hostnames • Automatic provider detection (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, ProtonMail, and 40+ others) SPF Analysis (Sender Policy Framework) • Full mechanism breakdown (include, a, mx, ip4, ip6, all) • Policy interpretation (pass, softfail, fail, neutral) • Included domain detection • Provider identification from SPF includes DMARC Analysis (Domain-based Message Authentication) • Policy level (none, quarantine, reject) • Subdomain policy • Alignment settings (DKIM and SPF) • Reporting addresses (aggregate and forensic) • Percentage enforcement Additional Email Security • MTA-STS detection (Mail Transfer Agent Strict Transport Security) • BIMI detection (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) • TLS-RPT (TLS Reporting) Perfect for diagnosing email deliverability issues, verifying email authentication setup, or auditing domain security. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🖥️ SERVER INFORMATION Analyze web server configuration and behavior: IP Addresses • IPv4 and IPv6 addresses from DNS Response Details • HTTP status code and message • Response time measurement • Final URL after redirects Server Headers • Server software (nginx, Apache, cloudflare, etc.) • X-Powered-By (PHP, ASP.NET, etc.) • Content-Type • Via (proxy information) • X-Cache (CDN cache status) Cache Information • Cache-Control directives • Age (time in cache) • ETag (entity tag) • Last-Modified date Redirect Chain Tracing • Full redirect path visualization • Status code for each hop (301, 302, 307, 308) • Response time per redirect • Option to start from HTTP to trace HTTPS upgrades • Final destination URL Technology Stack Detection Automatically identify the technologies behind any website from HTTP headers: • CDNs - Cloudflare, CloudFront, Fastly, Akamai • Servers - nginx, Apache, LiteSpeed • Frameworks - Next.js, Express, PHP, ASP.NET • Platforms - WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Drupal • Hosting - Vercel, Heroku, Fly.io, Render, AWS, GitHub Pages Detected technologies appear as color-coded badges at the top of the Server tab. See exactly how browsers reach your site, including all intermediate redirects. Essential for debugging redirect loops, verifying HTTPS enforcement, and analyzing CDN behavior. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌐 SUBDOMAIN DISCOVERY Find subdomains for any domain by scanning Certificate Transparency logs: • Queries crt.sh for all SSL certificates issued to subdomains • Deduplicates and sorts results alphabetically • Copy any subdomain with one click • Automatic retry if crt.sh is slow or overloaded Useful for security assessments, finding forgotten services, or mapping an organization's web presence. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ KEY FEATURES Instant Lookup Click the LDNS icon and the current tab's domain is automatically loaded and queried.
