View the exercise here: PentesterLab: Recon 15
For this challenge, your goal is to perform a zone transfer on the internal zone named: "int" using the nameserver of z.hackycorp.com.
Zone transfers are usually used to synchronize multiple DNS servers. Only a list of pre-defined hosts should be able to perform this operation. However, it's sometimes possible to retrieve information from internal zones by asking publicly available servers.
