In the DNS Zone transfer enumeration, an attacker attempts to retrieve a copy of the entire zone file for a domain from a DNS server. The information provided by the DNS zone can help an attacker gather user names, passwords, and other valuable information. To attempt a zone transfer, an attacker must be connected to a DNS server that is the authoritative server for that zone. Besides this, an attacker can launch a Denial of Service attack against the zone's DNS servers by flooding them with many requests. Which of the following tools can an attacker use to perform a DNS zone transfer?

host command is primarily used to perform DNS lookups, such as resolving domain names to IP addresses or vice versa. While it can be used to query DNS servers, it typically does not support DNS zone transfer functionality directly. Therefore, it is less commonly used for conducting DNS zone transfers compared to tools like Dig and NSLookup, which are specifically designed for such tasks.
