  3. …I'm not sure how viable it would be to limit the pointers to earlier in the packet would be. [1] https://github.com/spc476/SPCDNS

  5. …framework. Mine? Just two functions: dns_encode() and dns_decode(). No I/O. No malloc(). [1] https://github.com/spc476/SPCDNS [2] The ones I was looking at are written in C.

  7. …field "class" [2]. And I'm not about to pay lip service to an abomination like C++ [3][4]. [1] https://github.com/spc476/SPCDNS [2] https://github.com/spc476/SPCDNS/blob/ca5052c3d0c3252071a18e... [3] I am NOT a fan of C++. [4] But I had to…

  8. That's the approach I took with my DNS library ( https://github.com/spc476/SPCDNS)---extract the DNS packet into a C structure that's easier to deal with (for instance, the A RR structure: https://github.com/spc476/SPCDNS/blob/master/src/dn…

  9. I marked the RFC where each RR is defined ( https://github.com/spc476/SPCDNS/blob/master/src/dns.h ) in my DNS decoding library (in C: https://github.com/spc476/SPCDNS ). I've also referenced RFCs (in comments) in the main code (…

  10. I did a networkless approach for decoding DNS packets: https://github.com/spc476/SPCDNS No memory allocation (the user supplies the memory) and because it does not bother with the network at all, it's easy to integrate into an existing…

  11. …are pretty dismal. (Dismal enough that I ended up writing my own DNS encoding/decoding library ( https://github.com/spc476/SPCDNS ) with the aim of being easy to use as well as safe. It assumes nothing about the incoming packet and does…

  12. I did that when doing writing a DNS resolution library ( https://github.com/spc476/SPCDNS ). The encoding and decoding is one library, leaving the network layer primarily up to you (I provide a very simple network interface that's probably…
