NSLookup, short for Name Server Lookup, is a network administration tool used to query the Domain Name System (DNS). DNS is a hierarchical and decentralized naming system for computers, services, or other resources connected to the internet or a private network. NSLookup can be used to obtain information about a domain name, such as its IP address, mail exchange (MX) records, or other DNS records. It can also be used to troubleshoot DNS issues, such as resolving hostnames to IP addresses or identifying the authoritative name servers for a particular domain.
