DNS (Domain Name System) uses both TCP and UDP port 53
The most commonly used port for DNS is UDP 53. This port is used when a computer, mobile etc.. connect with a DNS server to resolve a particular domain name. Domain Name System uses TCP for Zone transfer and UDP for name resolving. UDP is used to transfer small data, but TCP must be used to transfer data larger than 512 bytes.
Find the IP address of the domain name:
host wikihak.com
Find the name servers of the domain name:
host -t ns wikihak.com
Find the mail servers of the domain name:
host -t mx wikihak.com
There’s another DNS lookup tool called Dig, which is used to execute DNS queries.
dig wikihak.com
dig wikihak.com -t mx
dig wikihak.com -t ns
