- Resolving domain names to IPv4 and IPv6
- Querying for NS and MX records
- Optional: Evaluating web page similarity with fuzzy hashes
- Optional: GeoIP location information
- Optional: Banner grabbing for HTTP and SMTP services

If you want dnstwist to develop full power, please make sure the following Python modules are present on your system. If missing, dnstwist will still work, but without many cool features.
If running Ubuntu or Debian, you can install dependencies like this:
$ sudo apt-get install python-dnspython python-geoip python-whois python-requests
Installation of ssdeep module requires a little more effort:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libffi-dev python python-dev python-pip automake autoconf libtool
$ sudo BUILD_LIB=1 pip install ssdeep
