I'm playing around with Python sockets, and decided to see if I could implement a very basic name server (i.e. a lookup table for a domain name to an IP address). So I've set up my server so far to just dump the received data.
#!/usr/bin/python
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
host = ''
port = 53
size = 512
s.bind((host, port))
while True:
data, addr = s.recvfrom(size)
print repr(data)
When I run the above code and point my DNS to 127.0.0.1 I get something akin to the following:
'Y\x04\x01\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03www\x06google\x03com\x00\x00\x01\x00\x01'
'J\xaa\x01\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03www\x06google\x03com\x00\x00\x1c\x00\x01'
'Y\x04\x01\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03www\x06google\x03com\x00\x00\x01\x00\x01'
I'm assuming that it is something to do with the DNS question packet structure, but I'm not to sure.
A) Are the above escape characters? A specific text encoding? Or simply just bytes?
B) How can I interpret the data and work with it?
EDIT: Changing the socket to take raw instead of datagrams results in the following:
'E\x00$\x00\xe4\x96\x00\x00@\x01\x00\x00\x7f\x00\x00\x01\x7f\x00\x00\x01\x03\x03X\xb6\x00\x00\x00\x00E\x00V\x00m\x82\x00\x00\xff\x11\x00\x00\x7f\x00\x00\x01\x7f\x00\x00\x01\xf3\xe1\x005\x00B\x00\x00'

You could start with something like this:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import pprint
import socket
import struct
def decode_labels(message, offset):
labels = []
while True:
length, = struct.unpack_from("!B", message, offset)
if (length & 0xC0) == 0xC0:
pointer, = struct.unpack_from("!H", message, offset)
offset += 2
return labels + decode_labels(message, pointer & 0x3FFF), offset
if (length & 0xC0) != 0x00:
raise StandardError("unknown label encoding")
offset += 1
if length == 0:
return labels, offset
labels.append(*struct.unpack_from("!%ds" % length, message, offset))
offset += length
DNS_QUERY_SECTION_FORMAT = struct.Struct("!2H")
def decode_question_section(message, offset, qdcount):
questions = []
for _ in range(qdcount):
qname, offset = decode_labels(message, offset)
qtype, qclass = DNS_QUERY_SECTION_FORMAT.unpack_from(message, offset)
offset += DNS_QUERY_SECTION_FORMAT.size
question = {"domain_name": qname,
"query_type": qtype,
"query_class": qclass}
questions.append(question)
return questions, offset
DNS_QUERY_MESSAGE_HEADER = struct.Struct("!6H")
def decode_dns_message(message):
id, misc, qdcount, ancount, nscount, arcount = DNS_QUERY_MESSAGE_HEADER.unpack_from(message)
qr = (misc & 0x8000) != 0
opcode = (misc & 0x7800) >> 11
aa = (misc & 0x0400) != 0
tc = (misc & 0x200) != 0
rd = (misc & 0x100) != 0
ra = (misc & 0x80) != 0
z = (misc & 0x70) >> 4
rcode = misc & 0xF
offset = DNS_QUERY_MESSAGE_HEADER.size
questions, offset = decode_question_section(message, offset, qdcount)
result = {"id": id,
"is_response": qr,
"opcode": opcode,
"is_authoritative": aa,
"is_truncated": tc,
"recursion_desired": rd,
"recursion_available": ra,
"reserved": z,
"response_code": rcode,
"question_count": qdcount,
"answer_count": ancount,
"authority_count": nscount,
"additional_count": arcount,
"questions": questions}
return result
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
host = ''
port = 53
size = 512
s.bind((host, port))
while True:
data, addr = s.recvfrom(size)
pprint.pprint(decode_dns_message(data))
And then fill in the decoding functions for the remaining records.
