DNS Zone Transfer Online
We can use the following website to do DNS Zone Transfer
We can get a lot of interesting information doing Zone Transfer below we can see that i did a zone transfer zonetransfer.me

Zone Transfer using NSLookup
We can use nslookup as well to do zone transfer Manually
nslookup -type=NS zonetransfer.me // Nameservers
nslookup -type=any -query=AXFR zonetransfer.me nsztm1.digi.ninja //any and axfr
Sometimes you might not get anything using zone transfer so you need to check that wether the IP address is actually the DNS for Domain or not, by using Below command
nslookup -type=ns inlanefreight.htb 10.129.121.23

Zone Transfer using DIG
dig <Domain Name>
dig <Domain Name> @<IP Address>
#Example
dig inlanefreight.htb
dig axfr inlanefreight.htb @10.129.121.23


DNScan
We can use dnscan to find out some more valuable information like subdomains, DNScan comes with its own wordlists which we can use
-d -------> Domain
-w ------> wordlist
