DNS Scout is a DNS troubleshooting tool that helps you get your email to the inbox. It checks SPF, DMARC, DKIM, and MX records, and it is for both pros and beginners. DNS Scout is compatible with macOS, Ubuntu, Kali Linux, and Raspberry Pi.

After years in the field remediating dmarc, SPF, and email deliverability issues,
I finally got sick of all the separate commands and sources to see the big picture.
So I made DNS-Scout; it started as a simple Python script I called whoisns, but now it is DNS-Scout.
This is an open-source gift to the world. Hopefully, some hackers will be helping me make it prettier, but its already got a great in-your-face remediate me by red text.

Curated Output for Clarity: DNS Scout stands out by filtering out non-essential information, presenting users with a cleaner, more focused view of the DNS data, and optimizing for clarity and relevance.

Enhanced Interactive CLI Interface: DNS Scout leverages readline to offer an advanced command-line interface that's easy to see and copy/paste

Session-based Memory Cycling DNS Scout's interactive interface has a memory cycle feature, controlled by the up and down arrow keys. It helps navigate recent lookups for the session quickly. This feature is useful when conducting multiple lookups, and you need to refer to a previous entry.

Streamlined WHOIS Lookup: DNS Scout efficiently parses domain registration data, presenting the user with concise registrar details and name servers, eliminating the clutter typically seen in raw WHOIS outputs.

Clear TXT Record Display: DNS Scout lists TXT records in an easily digestible format, making tasks like SPF or DMARC verification review more straightforward.

Registrar NS Name Servers MX Records Displays TXT Records, useful for checking domain verification, SPF settings, etc. DMARC Records PTR ASN Exact DNS data, no scrolling
