Question about Tor
Can someone please explain how to use Tor-Resolve?
I believe it resolves the IP address of a domain without sending packets to the domain. How is the application used?
If you double click Tor-Resolve.exe, it flashes up and disappears. When i use it in a CMD window, it doesn't seem as straightforward as i first thought.
Any help would be appreciated.

It's just a resolve query sent through/to a SOCKS proxy.
tor-resolve(1) - Linux man page
Name
tor-resolve - resolve a hostname to an IP address via tor
Synopsis
tor-resolve [-4|-5] [-v] [-x] 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.
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.
See Also
tor(1), torify(1).
See doc/socks-extensions.txt in the Tor package for protocol details.

Now, if you want to lookup antionline.com:
#tor-resolve -5 -v www.antionline.com 68.40.92.234:10777
Tor-resolve is obviously the command. We use -5 to indicate that we're running through a socks5 proxy instead of a socks4. -v gives us verbose output. www.antionline.com is the host we're looking up. 68.40.92.234:10777 is the socks5 proxy and port it is supposed to use.
Let's say you want to find the domain name associated with an IP:
#tor-resolve -5 -v -x 63.146.109.212 68.40.92.234:10777
Same command, structure, etc, except we added the -x switch to indicate we want it to return PTR records.
Real security doesn't come with an installer.
