[dns] Reverse ip, find domain names on ip address

How and from where websites like this http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/web-sites-on-web-server/ are getting this information from? How can I develop such tool?

Thank you.

This question is related to dns whois

The answer is


You can use ping -a <ip> or nbtstat -A <ip>


They're just trawling lists of web sites, and recording the resulting IP addresses in a database.

All you're seeing is the reverse mapping of that list. It's not guaranteed to be a full list (indeed more often than not it won't be) because it's impossible to learn every possible web site address.


This worked for me to get domain in intranet

It's a powershell script. Run it in PowerShell

.\ip_lookup.ps1 <ip>

windows user can just using the simple nslookup command

G:\wwwRoot\JavaScript Testing>nslookup 208.97.177.124
Server:  phicomm.me
Address:  192.168.2.1

Name:    apache2-argon.william-floyd.dreamhost.com

From about section of Reverse IP Domain Check tool on yougetsignal:

A reverse IP domain check takes a domain name or IP address pointing to a web server and searches for other sites known to be hosted on that same web server. Data is gathered from search engine results, which are not guaranteed to be complete.
