Python Networking: TCP and UDP
In the last installment we looked at IP headers. One thing you might have seen missing is the port numbers. That's pretty important for making an internet connection. Well it turns out that IP tends to encapsulate other protocols (which is why it has protocol as part of the header). In this article we'll be looking at two popular protocols for internet traffic: TCP and UDP. Before we begin though install scapy which we'll be using to make things easier, and dnslib that will be used during the UDP section:

A DNS resolver in 80 lines of Go
> That the author got this recursive lookup so small that it broke everyone's brains is just more reason to be interested in this article.
https://github.com/jvns/tiny-resolver/blob/main/resolver.sh - the recursive lookup is 16 lines for + switch.
I'm sorry to say this, but if the recursive lookup can be implemented with a for and a 3-way switch that a CS 101 student can write, it's really not doing the heavy lifting. It may be interesting to know about it, it may be the case that multiple resolves don't have the implementation, but it's a trivial piece of code, let's not idolize it.
