##Version 0.6.8

###Date: 2/15/12 ###Changes:

• Added tool folder with Python script for parsing results in XML and CSV format.

  • Handling of zones with no NS records.
  • Proper parsing of PTR records in returned zones.
  • De-duplication of NS records IP addresses.
  • Provide additional info on failure.

##Version 0.6.6

###Date: 1/20/12 ###Changes:

• Does not for a Origin Check for zones transferred since some admin may have configured their zones without NS servers as experienced by a user.
• Handles exception if NS records cannot be resolved when performing a zone transfer test.

##Version 0.6.5 ###Date: 1/16/12 ###Changes:

• Fixed problem with get_ns.
• Python 3.2 support.

• Added comma delimited value to a file for the results.

##Version 0.5.1 ###Date: 1/8/12 ###Changes:

• Additional fixes for XML formatting.
• Ability to end a zonewalk with Ctrl-c and not lose data.
• Initial Metasploit plug-in to be able to import data from XML file generated by dnsrecon.

##Version 0.5 ###Date: 1/8/12 ###Changes:

• Will check in standard enumeration if DNSSEC is configured for the zone by checking for DNSKEY records and checking if the zone is configured as NSEC or NSEC3.
• With the get_ip() method it will also check for CNAME records and add those to the list found hosts.
• Will perform a DNSSEC zonewalk if NSEC records are available. It currently identifies A, AAAA, CNAME, NS and SRV records. For any other, it will just print the RDATA info.

Known Issues:

• For some reason, the Python getopt is not parsing the options correctly in some cases. Considering changing to optparse even if it is more complicated to manage.
