[Solved] Find domain names from ip addresses bash cli

I am trying to figure out if there is a reliable way (or any way) to convert ip addresses to domain names in the terminal. Like etherape does.

I tried whois and cannot seem to get the data I am looking for. It tells me a lot of good information. Just no actual domain name.

You can use the "host" command. Or "dig -x" - add +short to have just the domain.

You can use the "host" command.

It's in dnsutils package.
