- The aim of this project was to gain more practical knowledge on the inner workings of the Domain Name System — I wanted to refresh the knowledge I have of the DNS protocol and understand some new concepts relating to DNS.
- The first step in this journey was reading the RFC. It is relatively easy to read and contains diagrams which can help one think about some of the various DNS constructs.
- I intended for this to be a full on DNS server similar to this but unfortunately, I had to stop at this point.
- At this point, This project simply accepts a response packet that looks like this

- While writting this I spent a lot of time perusing this awesome package. You should definietly take a look if youre doing any DNS related work in Go.
- This project is still actively in progress
