I'm thinking that it would be great if web search worked to generate such a list. For example, if I searched for "list of DNS tools", it would give a list of one-line descriptions and links just like in the original article: dnsdiag - is a DNS diagnostics and performance measurement tools. fierce - is a DNS reconnaissance tool for locating non-contiguous IP space. subfinder - is a subdomain discovery tool that discovers valid subdomains for websites. sublist3r - is a fast subdomains enumeration tool for penetration testers. amass - is tool that obtains subdomain names by scraping data sources, crawling web archives, and more. namebench - provides personalized DNS server recommendations based on your browsing history. massdns - is a high-performance DNS stub resolver for bulk lookups and reconnaissance. knock - is a tool to enumerate subdomains on a target domain through a wordlist. dnsperf - DNS performance testing tools. dnscrypt-proxy 2 - a flexible DNS proxy, with support for encrypted DNS protocols. dnsdbq - API client providing access to passive DNS database systems. grimd - fast dns proxy, built to black-hole internet advertisements and malware servers. etc. Is that asking for too much? It seems like it should be possible -- it's basically web search but with further curation, organization, and better presentation.

This is significantly harder than it appears at first glance, because there is no way to determine whether such descriptions are correct, and they are extremely easy to game. This is the challenge that the essentially torpedoed the semantic web. As a user you have to trust the source of the descriptions and ideally would know the process by which they were selected. Curation is hard to scale, but for things like open source software it has been done by the package manager teams. That said, try to figure out the difference between icedtea and openjdk. If you are down in some tiny niche it might work, but imagine the descriptions that would come up for fast food restaurants near me. Consider also, is dig a DNS tool?
