Explore DNS records and network information across public resolvers

Republished from GitHub / F-Droid by the Zapstore main account.

HostLookup is a native Android DNS explorer powered by mhost. Query 25 DNS record types, compare responses from predefined public resolvers, and inspect individual records. Explore WHOIS, network prefixes, autonomous system numbers, and location information for discovered IP addresses, including nameserver and mail-server addresses. The app uses a Material 3 interface with dynamic color on Android 12 and newer. Android 8.0 or newer is required. DNS queries are sent to mhost's predefined public DNS resolvers over UDP, TCP, DNS-over-TLS, and DNS-over-HTTPS. UDP and TCP queries are unencrypted. Nameserver and mail-server address enrichment also uses the device's configured DNS resolver. Network and location information is requested from RIPEstat over HTTPS. Providers can see requests and your public IP address. The public resolver list and RIPEstat service cannot be replaced in settings. No ads, analytics SDKs, account, or HostLookup-operated server are used.

    # HostLookup 0.2.3 This release makes lookups faster and keeps them running if you leave the app. - Shows DNS records as soon as the provider comparison finishes, then loads network details in the background. - Keeps an in-progress lookup running after you switch away, with a quiet status notification. - Asks fewer duplicate resolver endpoints, so the comparison finishes sooner. - Fills in location from RIPEstat MaxMind, RIPEstat geoloc, DB-IP, and

    ipwho.is when an earlier source has no country. Android 8.0 or newer and a supported 64-bit CPU are required. DNS queries use public resolvers, including unencrypted UDP/TCP. Network enrichment uses RIPEstat, and DB-IP or ipwho.is only when RIPEstat has no country.
