  7 2,619 0.0

  A guide to writing a DNS Server from scratch in Rust

  Project mention: What I learned from making a DNS client in Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-04-10

  I made one too https://github.com/ccouzens/dns-packet

  The differences:

  I followed this guide rather than the RFCs https://github.com/EmilHernvall/dnsguide/blob/master/chapter...

  Mine isn't as polished. The command line parsing and output is more thrown together.

  I hardcoded the packet identifier (it's not production code, and I'm only looking up one at a time).

  I didn't use any bit manipulation libraries. I can see they would help because DNS packets don't line up their information with the byte boundaries.
