Reverse dns lookup with scapy in python
Question: How can I do reverse DNS lookup using `scapy` in Python? I look for it in
Google but I couldn't find related to this topic.


Answer: Reverse DNS is already written into Python's Socket module. Simply use the
following:

    
    
     >>> import socket
     >>> socket.gethostbyaddr("69.59.196.211")
     ('stackoverflow.com', ['211.196.59.69.in-addr.arpa'], ['69.59.196.211'])
