DNS over Discord
1.1.1.1 works from a Discord server, thanks to the @1.1.1.1 bot.
To start using the DNS over Discord bot, invite it to your Discord server using this link: https://cfl.re/3nM6VfQ
dig command
Once the bot is in your server, type /dig to begin using the bot’s main command — performing DNS lookups. This will provide a native interface within Discord that allows you to specify the domain to lookup, an optional DNS record type and an optional flag for a short result.
If only a domain is given for the command, the bot will default to looking for ‘A’ DNS records, and will return the full format result, not the short form.
/dig domain: cloudflare.com
Supported record types
Discord has a limit of 25 options in slash commands, so DNS over Discord offers the 25 most common DNS record types to choose from:
- A
- AAAA
- CAA
- CDNSKEY
- CDS
- CERT
- CNAME
- DNSKEY
- DS
- HINFO
- HTTPS
- LOC
- MX
- NAPTR
- NS
- PTR
- SMIMEA
- SOA
- SPF
- SRV
- SSHFP
- SVCB
- TLSA
- TXT
- URI
To query other DNS record types, or multiple record types at once, use the /multi-dig command.
Short form response
Much like the dig command itself, DNS over Discord has an optional flag in the dig command that allows the user to request a response in the short form.
When this is requested, the name and TTL columns will be excluded, with just the data column returned without the table formatting, similar to the equivalent dig command response.
/dig domain: cloudflare.com type: AAAA short: true
Refreshing existing results
As part of the response that the DNS over Discord bot returns for dig commands, there is a button to refresh the results.
Any user can press this button, triggering the bot to re-request the DNS query in the message and update the results in the message.
The refresh button is available on all responses to the dig command, including those that resulted in an error, such as an unknown domain or no records found.
/dig domain: cloudflare.com
multi-dig command
If you want to look up multiple DNS record types at once, use the /multi-dig command. This allows you to specify any supported DNS record type, and multiple types separated by a space.
/multi-dig domain: cloudflare.com types: A AAAA
Supported record types
When providing DNS record types for the /multi-dig command, Discord will not prompt you with options. Please provide a space-separated list of valid DNS record types to lookup, as any invalid options will be silently dropped. ‘A’ records will be used as the default if no valid types are given.
The following DNS record types are supported and considered valid by the bot:
- A
- AAAA
- AFSDB
- APL
- CAA
- CDNSKEY
- CDS
- CERT
- CNAME
- CSYNC
- DHCID
- DLV
- DNAME
- DNSKEY
- DS
- EUI48
- EUI64
- HINFO
- HIP
- HTTPS
- IPSECKEY
- KEY
- KX
- LOC
- MX
- NAPTR
- NS
- NSEC
- NSEC3
- NSEC3PARAM
- OPENPGPKEY
- PTR
- RP
- SMIMEA
- SOA
- SPF
- SRV
- SSHFP
- SVCB
- TA
- TKEY
- TLSA
- TXT
- URI
- ZONEMD
Use ‘*’ (asterisk) in place of a record type to get DNS results for all supported types.
Short form response
Like the main dig command, the multi-dig command also supports the optional short flag after the types have been specified in the slash command.
/multi-dig domain: cloudflare.com types: CDS CDNSKEY short: true
Refreshing existing results
The multi-dig command also provides a refresh button below each set of DNS results requested (or after each block of 10 DNS record types if more than 10 were requested).
As with the dig command, any user can press the refresh button to refresh the displayed DNS results, including for DNS queries that had previously failed.
/multi-dig domain: cloudflare.com types: A AAAA
whois command
The /whois command allows you to perform an RDAP/WHOIS lookup right in Discord for a given domain, IP or ASN.
Examples
/whois query: cloudflare.com
/whois query: 104.16.132.229
/whois query: 2606:4700::6810:84e5
/whois query: 13335
