# dnsquery
Dead-simple DNS client implemented in pure go that uses a ronin and caches the results in
the local `/etc/hosts` file to prevent DNS tracking in hostile environments.
## Installation
```bash
# Clone
git clone https://github.com/cookiengineer/dnsquery.git ./dnsquery;
# Build
cd ./dnsquery;
go build -o dnsquery ./cmds/dnsquery/main.go;
# Install
sudo mv dnsquery /usr/bin/dnsquery;
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/dnsquery;
```
## Usage
```bash
# Allow writes to /etc/hosts for non-root users
sudo chmod +w /etc/hosts;
# Resolve a censored domain through DNS ronin
dnsquery libgen.li;
# If it fails to resolve (exit code 1), try again
dnsquery libgen.li;
```
## Work-in-Progress
- [ ] Resolve `CNAME` responses
- [ ] Support Windows and `C:\%WINDIR%\system32\etc\hosts` file path?
