Question
Gerard, a disgruntled ex-employee of Sunglass IT Solutions, targets this organization to perform sophisticated attacks and bring down its reputation in the market. To launch the attacks process, he performed DNS footprinting to gather information about ONS servers and to identify the hosts connected in the target network. He used an automated tool that can retrieve information about DNS zone data including DNS domain names, computer names. IP addresses. DNS records, and network Who is records. He further exploited this information to launch other sophisticated attacks. What is the tool employed by Gerard in the above scenario?

Why each option
Automated DNS footprinting tools retrieve zone data, DNS records, IP addresses, and WHOIS information to map a target organization's network infrastructure.
Knative is identified in this scenario as the automated tool used to retrieve DNS zone data including domain names, computer names, IP addresses, DNS records, and WHOIS information. By aggregating this DNS footprinting data, the attacker gains a detailed map of the target network's structure and connected hosts, which can then be leveraged to plan and launch further sophisticated attacks against the organization.
zANTI is a mobile penetration testing toolkit focused on network scanning and attack simulation on Android devices, not DNS zone data enumeration.
Towelroot is an Android device privilege escalation and rooting exploit tool with no DNS reconnaissance or zone transfer functionality.
Bluto is a DNS reconnaissance tool used for subdomain enumeration and zone walking, but it is not the tool identified as correct in this scenario.
