This project is a simple DNS server implemented in Python that provides both authoritative and recursive DNS resolution. It includes features such as caching, logging, and encryption for enhanced security.
- Authoritative DNS Server: Supports loading and serving DNS zone files.
- Recursive DNS Resolution: Resolves external DNS queries recursively.
- Caching: Implements a caching mechanism to store DNS responses and reduce latency.
- Logging: Logs DNS queries and responses in a secure and encrypted manner.
- Encryption: Utilizes Fernet symmetric encryption for log file data.
- Redis Integration: Incorporates Redis for caching and storing DNS data.
- Python: The primary programming language used for the implementation.
- Socket Programming: Handles UDP socket communication for DNS queries and responses.
- JSON: Zone files are loaded and stored in JSON format.
- Redis: Integrates Redis for caching DNS responses and data storage.
- Fernet Encryption: Implements Fernet encryption for secure log file storage.
main.py: The main DNS server implementation.zones/: Directory containing DNS zone files in JSON format.logs/: Directory for storing encrypted DNS query and response logs.read_logs.py/: A simple python script that can be used to read the log file.
- To install Redis run the command
sudo apt-get install redis - To start the redis server run the command
redis-server - To verify the server is running run the command
redis-cli ping
