Find the domains hosted on an IP address

9 tools. 9 run with ot in a sandbox on Windows, macOS and Linux. Compare them side by side ↓

A reverse IP lookup lists the domains that point at an address, from passive DNS and the host names internet scanners and URL scanners recorded on it. On a dedicated server that list is the owner's other sites; on shared hosting or a CDN it is mostly strangers, which is why the first step is to check what kind of address it is.

With ot, in a sandbox

All IP address tools →

Windows, macOS and Linux, with Docker or Podman. Each tool runs in a read-only container that can reach only the sites it declares, and every result comes back in the same JSON shape.

Facts from each tool's manifest and what people report about whether it works. "Reaches" says whether a run stays offline, reads public sources, sends requests about the target, or may notify them.

How to find the domains hosted on an IP address

  1. Check whether the address is a CDN or cloud edge first (cdncheck); if it is, its domains say little about one owner.
  2. List the domains and host names recorded on it (hackertarget, urlscan-search, shodan-internetdb).
  3. Take the domains that look related into the domain tools and compare their WHOIS and DNS.

Every registry tool here runs on your machine in a sandbox, and ot auto ip:… runs all the installed ones on one value.

Before you run one

Why do I get hundreds of unrelated domains?

Shared hosting and CDN edges serve many customers from one address. The list is most useful when it is short; when it is long, filter it for names that share a pattern with your target.

Which of these need an API key?

hackertarget, urlscan-search, Shodan InternetDB, OTX and Pulsedive answer without one for modest numbers of lookups. Censys, ONYPHE, FOFA and VirusTotal need a key from their own sites, most with a free allowance; each row says so.

Do these tools send my search anywhere?

No. ot runs each tool on your own machine in a read-only container that can only reach the sites the tool declares, and results stay in your results folder. The registry only counts installs.
