DNS, ASN, OUI & WHOIS Lookups
Built-in network lookups — forward/reverse DNS, ASN, MAC OUI, and WHOIS — so you can resolve identities without leaving NetStacks.
Overview
Identifying an address, prefix, or MAC is a constant part of network work. NetStacks includes the common lookups inline so you don't have to leave for a browser or shell mid-investigation.
Available Lookups
- DNS — forward and reverse resolution.
- ASN — map an IP/prefix to its autonomous system.
- OUI — identify a NIC vendor from a MAC address.
- WHOIS — registration data for an address or prefix.
Q&A
- Q: What leaves my machine for a lookup?
- A: Only the query you run (for example the MAC address for an OUI lookup), to the relevant lookup service. This is itemized on the security page.
- Q: Do reverse DNS and WHOIS need configuration?
- A: No setup is required for the standard lookups.
