NAME

       tor-resolve - resolve a hostname to an IP address via tor

SYNOPSIS

       tor-resolve [-4|-5] [-v] [-x] [-p socksport] hostname [sockshost[:socksport]]

DESCRIPTION

       tor-resolve is a simple script to connect to a SOCKS proxy that knows about the SOCKS
       RESOLVE command, hand it a hostname, and return an IP address.

       By default, tor-resolve uses the Tor server running on 127.0.0.1 on SOCKS port 9050. If
       this isn’t what you want, you should specify an explicit sockshost and/or socksport on the
       command line.

OPTIONS

       -v
           Display verbose output.

       -x
           Perform a reverse lookup: get the PTR record for an IPv4 address.

       -5
           Use the SOCKS5 protocol. (Default)

       -4
           Use the SOCKS4a protocol rather than the default SOCKS5 protocol. Doesn’t support
           reverse DNS.

       -p socksport
           Override the default SOCKS port without setting the hostname.
