A user-friendly DNS client and packet analyzer
Project description
KYDNS
KYDNS (Know Your DNS) is a simple DNS client library written in Python 3.
It allows sending DNS queries for A and AAAA records, easily modify any of the DNS packet fields, and provides an ASCII representation of the DNS packets.
The library is designed to be easy to use and can be used for learning, testing, or other purposes.
Installation
KYDNS uses Python 3 standard libs and has no 3rd party dependencies. Install using pip:
pip install kydns
Or git clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/eliaonceagain/kydns.git
cd kydns/
pip install .
Usage
Send a DNS query for the A record of google.com
and return the response
from kydns import Request
req = Request("google.com")
rsp = req.send(("1.1.1.1", 53))
>>> rsp

Fixed length fields are represented with |
and variable length fields with /
. If the name field is an offset, |
is used.
Packet Modification
KYDNS also allows you to easily modify any of the DNS packet fields before sending the query. Here is an example of how to set the DNS request ID:
from kydns import Request
req = Request('google.com') # or Request('google.com', id=0x1234)
req.header.id = 0x1234
rsp = req.send(("1.1.1.1", 53))
assert req.header.id == rsp.header.id == 0x1234
>>> req.header
1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
