tor-resolve – resolve a hostname to an IP address via tor
Synopsis
tor-resolve [-4|-5] [-v] [-x] [-p socksport] hostname [sockshost[:socksport]]Description
tor-resolve is a simple script to connect to a SOCKS proxy that knows about the SOCKS RESOLVE command, hand it a hostname, and return an IP address. By default, tor-resolve uses the Tor server running on 127.0.0.1 on SOCKS port 9050. If this isn’t what you want, you should specify an explicit sockshost and/or socksport on the command line.
Options
-v- Display verbose output.
-x
- Perform a reverse lookup: get the PTR record for an IPv4 address.
-5
- Use the SOCKS5 protocol. (Default)
-4
- Use the SOCKS4a protocol rather than the default SOCKS5 protocol. Doesn’t support reverse DNS.
-p socksport
- Override the default SOCKS port without setting the hostname.
