# rustdns
## rustdns
rustdns is a simple, fast, and fully fledged DNS library for interacting
with domain name services at a high or low level.
## Features
* Parsing and generating the following record types:
* A,
* AAAA,
* CNAME,
* MX,
* NS,
* SOA,
* PTR,
* TXT, and
* SRV
* Extension Mechanisms for DNS ([EDNS(0)]).
* Support [International Domain Names (IDNA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name) - Different scripts, alphabets, anhd even emojis!
* Sample `dig` style [command line](#usage-cli).
* Fully [tested](#testing), and [fuzzed](#fuzzing).
## Usage (low-level library)
```rust
use rustdns::Message;
use rustdns::types::*;
use std::net::UdpSocket;
use std::time::Duration;
fn udp_example() -> std::io::Result<()> {
// A DNS Message can be easily constructed
let mut m = Message::default();
m.add_question("bramp.net", Type::A, Class::Internet);
m.add_extension(Extension { // Optionally add a EDNS extension
payload_size: 4096, // which supports a larger payload size.
..Default::default()
});
// Setup a UDP socket for sending to a DNS server.
let socket = UdpSocket::bind("0.0.0.0:0")?;
socket.set_read_timeout(Some(Duration::new(5, 0)))?;
socket.connect("8.8.8.8:53")?; // Google's Public DNS Servers
// Encode the DNS Message as a Vec.
let question = m.to_vec()?;
// Send to the server.
socket.send(&question)?;
// Wait for a response from the DNS server.
let mut resp = [0; 4096];
let len = socket.recv(&mut resp)?;
// Take the response bytes and turn it into another DNS Message.
let answer = Message::from_slice(&resp[0..len])?;
// Now do something with `answer`, in this case print it!
println!("DNS Response:\n{}", answer);
Ok(())
}
```
If successful something like the following will be printed:
```

;; flags: qr rd ra ad; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1

;; QUESTION SECTION:

; ANSWER SECTION:
bramp.net. 299 IN A 104.21.62.200
bramp.net. 299 IN A 172.67.138.196
```
## Features
The following optional features are available:
- `clients`: Enables the following clients:
- `doh`: DNS over HTTPS (DoH) client (rfc8484).
- `json`: DNS over HTTPS JSON client
- `tcp`: Enables the DNS over TCP client
- `udp`: Enables the DNS over UDP client
- `zones`: Enable a Zone File Parser
## Usage (cli)
To use the [demo CLI](https://github.com/bramp/rustdns/blob/main/src/rustdns/dig/main.rs):
```shell
$ cargo run -p dig -- A www.google.com
...
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: Query, status: NoError, id: 34327
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1
;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:
; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 512
;; QUESTION SECTION:
; www.google.com. IN A
; ANSWER SECTION:
www.google.com. 110 IN A 142.250.72.196
# More examples
$ cargo run -p dig -- AAAA www.google.com
$ cargo run -p dig -- ANY www.google.com
$ cargo run -p dig -- CNAME code.google.com
$ cargo run -p dig -- MX google.com
$ cargo run -p dig -- PTR 4.4.8.8.in-addr.arpa
$ cargo run -p dig -- SOA google.com
$ cargo run -p dig -- SRV _ldap._tcp.google.com
$ cargo run -p dig -- TXT google.com
```
## Testing
```shell
$ cargo test --all
# or the handy
$ cargo watch -- cargo test --all -- --nocapture
```
The test suite is full of stored real life examples, from querying real DNS records.
This was generated with `cargo run -p generate_tests`.
### Fuzzing
The library has been extensively fuzzed. Try for yourself:
```shell
$ cargo fuzz run from_slice
```
### Test Data
To aid in testing features, I have a set of pre-configured records setup:
| Domain | Description |
| --------------------- | ----------- |
| a.bramp.net | Single A record pointing at 127.0.0.1 |
| aaaa.bramp.net | Single AAAA record pointing at ::1 |
| aaaaa.bramp.net | One A record, and one AAAA record resolving to 127.0.0.1 and ::1 |
| cname.bramp.net | Single CNAME record pointing at a.bramp.net |
| cname-loop1.bramp.net | Single CNAME record pointing at cname-loop2.bramp.net |
| cname-loop2.bramp.net | Single CNAME record pointing at cname-loop1.bramp.net |
| mx.bramp.net | Single MX record pointing at a.bramp.net |
| ns.bramp.net | Single NS record pointing at a.bramp.net |
| txt.bramp.net | Single TXT Record "A TXT record!" |
## Releasing
```shell
# Bump version number
$ cargo test-all-features
$ cargo readme > README.md
$ cargo publish --dry-run
$ cargo publish
```
## TODO (in order of priority)
* [ ] Document UDP/TCP library
* [ ] Client side examples
* [ ] Server side examples
* [ ] DNSSEC: Signing, validating and key generation for DSA, RSA, ECDSA and Ed25519
* [ ] NSID, Cookies, AXFR/IXFR, TSIG, SIG(0)
* [ ] Runtime-independence
* [ ] Change the API to have getters and setters.
* [ ] Change hyper-alpn to support tokio-native-tls for people that want that.
* [ ] Implement more dig features, such as +trace
* [ ] Maybe convert the binary parsing to Nom format.
* [ ] Can I parse these https://www.iana.org/domains/root/files ?
