This machine will teach you how to query a DNS server
Walkthrough
Summary:
You have to query the DNS server using nslookup or dig command to get the information needed.
In this challange you'll learn how to query a DNS server. After I did once again the Passive Reconnaissance room, it was quite straightforward.
Description:
First of all, I added givemetheflag.com to the /etc/hosts file, as the description was saying.

I did a basic scan with nmap and I found 53 as open port, I searched and found out that usually port 53 is used for DNS servers:
Then, I got the flag with this with this command:
dig @10.10.26.77 givemetheflag.com
and the flag was in the result

As always, I was curious and I tried nslookup
to see if I could get the flag using another command and I got it:
nslookup -type=A givemetheflag.com 10.10.26.77
