Reverse dns lookup with scapy in python

Question

How can I do reverse DNS lookup using scapy in Python? I look for it in Google but I couldn't find related to this topic.

Answer 1

Reverse DNS is already written into Python's Socket module. Simply use the following:

 >>> import socket
 >>> socket.gethostbyaddr("69.59.196.211")
 ('stackoverflow.com', ['211.196.59.69.in-addr.arpa'], ['69.59.196.211'])
