Website

When beginning recon on a domain, the first thing to do is to view the webpage. Have a look around and become familiar with the layout.

Make a note of important things like

Who is

the next thing to do is WhoIs to find out information about who owns and created the domain.

These commands can be used to resolve the DNS

host website.com
nslookup website.com

Whois can then be used with the IP you get from resolving the DNS

whois 192.168.1.101
