I thought Finger was for user info, not zone transfers?

Haha, B) Finger? What is this, the 80s? I'll stick with C) Dig, thank you very much.

A) NSLookup is a classic, but it's not the best choice for zone transfers. C) Dig is the way to go.

D) Sam Spade? Really? That's so 90s. I'd go with C) Dig or E) Host any day.

E) Host is also a good option for zone transfers. It's a simple and lightweight tool that gets the job done.

I feel like Finger and Neotrace are more for network diagnostics, not zone transfers.

I remember practicing with Dig and NSLookup in lab sessions, but I can't recall if Host was also used for that purpose.

I think NSLookup and Dig are the main tools for zone transfers, but I'm not entirely sure about the others.

Dig seems like the most obvious choice here. It's designed for DNS queries and zone transfers, right? I'll go with that one.

Ugh, I'm drawing a blank on zone transfers. I'll have to review my notes and see if any of these ring a bell as the right tool.

Definitely Dig or Host - those are the go-to DNS utilities. I'd avoid the other options, they don't seem as relevant.

I'm not too familiar with zone transfers, but I know Dig is a common DNS tool. Maybe that's the best choice here?

Hmm, I think Dig or NSLookup might be good options for a zone transfer. I'll have to think through the capabilities of each tool.
