How to upgrade your dnsenum to the latest version

[purehate]

One of Offensive Security/Remote-exploits own Barbsie has a tool in BT3 called dnsenum. The release was anounced in another thread however it needs a few extra packages to get going so I figured I do a little write up.

Special Thanks to linuxchuck for helping me with finding the perl modules

Anyway its not hard. Download the tool here.

It goes in the /pentest/enumeration/dnsenum folder. I just deleted all the old stuff in there and replaced it with the new files. The kde menu link is the same if you do it that way. No need to change that.

All that was still needed was 2 Perl modules which are HERE and HERE.

In order to install a perl mudule just

bt~#tar xzvf (filename).tar.gz
bt~#cd (filename)
bt~#perl Makefile.PL
bt~#make
bt~#make test
bt~#make install


Do that for both files and now you brand spanking new version of dnsenum should be ready to go.


Thanks again to linuxchuck for the help

alternatively, just use the usual perl cpan way:

just type: "perl -MCPAN -e shell" in a terminal window, follow the instructions and when it's finished just type:

cpan>install Net::Whois::IP

etc...

cheers

Thanks Barbsie I just didnt know how to do it that way but I knew there was a way.

O,

thought I just might mention this:
If you auto add results to your dns.txt file using the -u switch, you can clean up your dns.txt file like this:

sort dns.txt | uniq > dns2.txt

this will sort and remove dups
then just mv dns2.txt dns.txt

Worked for me:

cpan>install Net::Whois::IP
cpan>install Net::Netmask

Thanks Barbsie

Just to clarify for the newbies. Its perl Makefile.PL, not Makefile.PM as mentioned in the steps above. Otherwise, all is good!
