Explanation

Bluto (Option D) is correct because it is a DNS reconnaissance tool specifically designed to perform DNS footprinting by retrieving information such as DNS zone data, domain names, computer names, IP addresses, DNS records, and WHOIS records - precisely matching the activities described in the scenario.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• Knative (A) is an open-source platform for deploying serverless and containerized applications on Kubernetes - it has no relevance to DNS footprinting or reconnaissance.
• zANTI (B) is a mobile penetration testing toolkit used for network scanning and man-in-the-middle attacks, not specifically DNS footprinting.
• Towelroot (C) is an Android rooting tool used to gain root access on mobile devices, completely unrelated to DNS reconnaissance.

Memory Tip: Think of "Bluto" as "Blew through the DNS" - just like the aggressive Popeye villain Bluto forces his way in, Bluto the tool aggressively digs through DNS records to expose network information. If a CEH exam question mentions automated DNS zone data retrieval including WHOIS records in a footprinting context, Bluto is your answer.
