Gobuster
Directory/File, DNS and VHost busting tool written in Go
Gobuster is a tool used to brute-force. This project is born out of the necessity to have something that didn't have a fat Java GUI (console FTW), something that did not do recursive brute force, something that allowed me to brute force folders and multiple extensions at once, something that compiled to native on multiple platforms, something that was faster than an interpreted script (such as Python), and something that didn't require a runtime. Provides several modes, like the classic directory brute-forcing mode, DNS subdomain brute-forcing mode, the mode that enumerates open S3 buckets and looks for existence and bucket listings, and the virtual host brute-forcing mode (not the same as DNS!). Since this tool is written in Go you need to install the Go language/compiler/etc. Full details of installation and set up can be found on the Go language website. Once installed you have two options. You need at least go 1.16.0 to compile gobuster. -

Blocky
Fast and lightweight DNS proxy as ad-blocker for local network
Blocky is a fast, lightweight DNS proxy and network-wide ad blocker designed for home labs and small networks that want Pi-hole-like filtering with more flexible DNS routing and modern protocol support. It blocks DNS queries using external deny lists while also supporting allow lists, and it can scope policies by client groups so different devices or households can have different rulesets. Unlike a single-purpose blocker, it supports advanced DNS behavior such as conditional forwarding and custom resolution for specific domains, letting you shape traffic in ways that fit split-horizon DNS, internal services, or privacy-focused upstream strategies. Performance is a major focus, with configurable caching, prefetching, and the ability to use multiple upstream resolvers simultaneously to reduce latency and avoid single points of failure. -

CoreDNS
CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins
CoreDNS is a DNS server/forwarder, written in Go, that chains plugins. Each plugin performs a (DNS) function. CoreDNS is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation graduated project. CoreDNS is a fast and flexible DNS server. The key word here is flexible: with CoreDNS you are able to do what you want with your DNS data by utilizing plugins. If some functionality is not provided out of the box you can add it by writing a plugin. CoreDNS can listen for DNS requests coming in over UDP/TCP (go'old DNS), TLS (RFC 7858), also called DoT, DNS over HTTP/2 - DoH - (RFC 8484) and gRPC (not a standard). Serve zone data from a file; both DNSSEC (NSEC only) and DNS are supported (file and auto). Retrieve zone data from primaries, i.e., act as a secondary server (AXFR only) (secondary). Sign zone data on-the-fly (dnssec). Load balancing of responses (loadbalance). Allow for zone transfers, i.e., act as a primary server (file + transfer). Automatically load zone files from disk (auto). -
