• FOUND_URLS_FILEPATH: Path to the file where resolved hostnames will be written.
• LOG_OUTPUT_FILEPATH: Path to the log file.

Usage

1. Populate the .env file with the appropriate variable values.

2. Ensure the IP address file specified in IP_LIST_FILEPATH is populated with IP addresses, one per line.

3. Setting Up a Virtual Environment:

   • Create a virtual environment: python -m venv venv
   • Activate the virtual environment:
     • On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
     • On macOS and Linux: source venv/bin/activate

4. Install Dependencies:

   • Install the required packages: pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Run the script using python main.py.

6. Review the resolved hostnames in the file specified in FOUND_URLS_FILEPATH and check LOG_OUTPUT_FILEPATH for logs.

Output

• Resolved Hostnames: Found hostnames are written line by line to the file specified in FOUND_URLS_FILEPATH.
• Logs: Detailed logs of the resolution process, including any errors, are written to LOG_OUTPUT_FILEPATH.
