Tess King is using the nslookup command to craft queries to list all DNS information (such as
Name Servers, host names, MX records, CNAME records, glue records (delegation for child
Domains), zone serial number, TimeToLive (TTL) records, etc) for a Domain. What do you think
Tess King is trying to accomplish? Select the best answer.

A.
A zone harvesting

B.
A zone transfer

C.
A zone update

D.
A zone estimate

Explanation:
The zone transfer is the method a secondary DNS server uses to update its
information from the primary DNS server. DNS servers within a domain are organized using a
master-slave method where the slaves get updated DNS information from the master DNS. One
should configure the master DNS server to allow zone transfers only from secondary (slave) DNS

servers but this is often not implemented. By connecting to a specific DNS server and successfully
issuing the ls –d domain-name > file-name you have initiated a zone transfer.
