Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 59

Gerard, a disgruntled ex-employee of Sunglass IT Solutions, targets this organization to perform sophisticated attacks and bring down its reputation in the market.
To launch the attacks process, he performed DNS footprinting to gather information about DNS servers and to identify the hosts connected in the target network.
He used an automated tool that can retrieve information about DNS zone data including DNS domain names, computer names, IP addresses, DNS records, and network Whois records. He further exploited this information to launch other sophisticated attacks.
What is the tool employed by Gerard in the above scenario?
