PureDNS never managed to resolve anything

[hitem]

Hello, Maybe im doing something wrong here, but im unable to get this to work. I wrote my own python request tool but its no way near as fast as pureDNS so i would love to get this one to work :).

puredns resolve url_list.txt --write valid.txt -l 5 this is the command i run, the resolvers.txt has 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 and 1.1.1.1 in it. Edit: My url_list.txt contains amass/subfinder enums, in the format: subdomain.domain.com (example.com, bob.example.com). I tried adding http and https etc infront but same with or without.

The valid.txt always comes back as empty, never get any resolves. I am able to resolve domains with httpx and my own tool, but not with pureDNS. Anyone been in a similiar pickle and managed to resolve it ? (lol!). MassDNS is installed to but i have not done anything with it (using kali out the box distro).

Would be greatly appreciated.

Puredns will filter out invalid domains by default. If I understand correctly, your url_list.txt file contains lines looking like this:

subdomain.domain.com (example.com, bob.example.com)

That line will get discarded because ( and , are not valid characters in a domain name. Try to parse your list to produce only the domain names to resolve, one per line.

Also, I don't use Kali but make sure massdns is up to date.
