    I don't think I'll make a CLI for this any time soon. The main thing I bring to the table with Wirewiki is UX, and I don't feel like I could do that well in a CLI.

    It’s a wiki (loosely defined as an authoritative browsable graph / index) of everything that goes over the wire.

    You're right that it doesn't do the name Wirewiki justice yet. I've got so many things planned to add at some point, much more than just DNS. Check again in 2 years' time ;) > The …

    You're the second person in these comments who points out faux name server redundancy. Interesting. I hadn't considered it as a major theme, but I'll move it up the list a little. …

    Yes. Ultimately nearly any tool can be used for good can also be used nefariously. Internet infrastructure data is inherently open. I'm just presenting it in a more useful way. So …

    Those are really useful suggestions, thanks! > 1) Include a link to dnsviz.net to check on the DNSSEC status of domains. I use DNSViz all the time. They've done a great job of disp…

    There are a ton of online DNS tool sites, MxToolbox being one of the largest. I like the idea of evolution (diversity + selection) applied here. Many people building it differently…

    Oh thanks! Depends on how you prefer to learn, but here are a few suggestions. I've heard good things about the Computer Networks book by Tanenbaum and Wetherall, but I haven't rea…

    I'm launching Wirewiki.com today! Wirewiki makes the internet’s hidden infrastructure browsable. I quit my job 5 years ago to scale Nslookup.io. But after reaching 600k monthly use…

    A slightly more complex, but much more responsive way would be to set an NS record of `where-is-the-iss.shkspr.mobi` that points to the IP of your VPS. Then run a program that list…

    Yeah, your tool is a lot simpler and can be less overwhelming for people who are not familiar with DNS. Don't think I'll remove any features from Nslookup. Good to have multiple DN…

    I’ve been working on Nslookup.io for years now. Let me know what you think I should improve to make it fit for your use cases at ImprovMX :)

    The domain name isplookup.com dropped last week, so I made this online tool. It shows your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and their internet service providers. You can also enter an IP or…

    A set of free online internet infrastructure inspection tools. Think DNS, IP, ASN, WHOIS, email config, etc. It will replace my current main project nslookup.io when it'll launch. …

    In that case, I'd try to find an account manager at X and contact them directly via email or LinkedIn. They might be able to sort it out. I also have two accounts btw. Didn't raise…

    Hey HN! OP here. I'm checking in the next couple of days, so feel free to ask me anything if you're thinking about setting up X ads yourself :)
