This document is currently used and update for testing purposes of DNS packets with Daplie applications. Please make note of any errata, as the organization of this document is based on the step by step process of debugging current issues regarding DNS, and not necessarily a demonstration on how to fix those issues. This document is for learning purposes and meant to assist future developers avoid similar bugs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Objective
|
|
|
|
Create a robust DNS library that checks all possible combinations of DNS flags and messages in order to debug current DNS state for Daplie system and potentially develope DNS library with built in linting for use of Daplie, inc and community.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How to duplicate DNS crash:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
>> cd ~/dns_test
|
|
>> node listen.jss
|
|
```
|
|
Then in another terminal enter:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
>> dig @224.0.0.251 -p 5353 -t PTR _cloud._tcp.local
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The listener then crashes with an output of:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
START DNS PACKET
|
|
/home/daplie/dns_test/node_modules/dns-js/lib/bufferconsumer.js:52
|
|
throw new Error('Buffer overflow')
|
|
^
|
|

|

After commenting out lines 45-53 in dns_test/node_modules/dns-js/lib/bufferconsumer.js
|
|
and rerunning the previous commands, the result is a new error:
|
|
|
|
```
|

throw new RangeError('Index out of range');

|
```
|
|
which is located in the node.js buffer module. The API is [here](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html).
|
|
|
|
However, the error we are working with will most likely be dealt with by parsing through the binary
|
|
and putting it in a format that is acceptable to a custom buffer, since the current buffer.js does doesn't seem to do the trick.
|
|
|
|
Using
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
function pad(str, len, ch) {
|
|
|
|
while (str.length < len) {
|
|
str = ch + str;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return str;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
the binary output comes out as:
|
|
|
|
```

How to print out hex values of the DNS message in node.js?
|
|
|
|

|
|
console.log('Received %d bytes from %s:%d\n',
|
|
message.length, rinfo.address, rinfo.port);
|
|
//console.log(msg.toString('utf8'));
|
|
|
|
console.log(message.toString('hex'));
|
|
```
