Special Forums IP Networking server can't find localhost: NXDOMAIN Post 302469191 by Corona688 on Friday 5th of November 2010 12:19:48 AM

the nslookup command queries DNS servers, not /etc/hosts. I'd never expect a dns server to return a sensible answer about localhost.

NAME
dnsspoof - forge replies to DNS address / pointer queries SYNOPSIS
dnsspoof [-i interface] [-f hostsfile] [expression] DESCRIPTION
dnsspoof forges replies to arbitrary DNS address / pointer queries on the LAN. This is useful in bypassing hostname-based access controls, or in implementing a variety of man-in-the-middle attacks. OPTIONS
-i interface Specify the interface to use. -f hostsfile Specify the pathname of a file in hosts(5) format. Only one hostname allowed per line (no aliases), although hostnames may contain wildcards (such as *.doubleclick.net). expression Specify a tcpdump(8) filter expression to select traffic to sniff. If no hostsfile is specified, replies will be forged for all address queries on the LAN with an answer of the local machine's IP address. FILES
/usr/share/dsniff/dnsspoof.hosts Sample hosts file. SEE ALSO
dsniff(8), hosts(5) AUTHOR
