==================================================================================== Overview

A Windows application to help out with external infrastructure scans. You can use it for the following:

1. Convert a file of IP addresses to hostnames (output a straight list of hostnames or comma separated list of IP Address, Hostname)
2. Convert a file of hostnames to IP addresses (output a straight list of IP Addresses or comma separated list of Hostname , IP Address)
3. Do a bulk WhoIs lookup on everything in the input file
4. Run a DNS Zone Recursion and Zone Transfer test against the nameservers associated with the hostnames (it basically takes the work out of it by looking up all the nameservers for you and then running the tests)
