DNS Server Commands

Question

I use socket module in python to connect to dns server on a router.The connection is succesful and if I send a message I get a blank reply but what are commands that I can write to dns server?

Router is a Huawei Hg552e
gateway: 192.168.1.1
dns server port: 53

Answer 1

The commands are not clear-text, so you need to read the protocol specification and implement it, or use a library that already implements that for you, for example, PyUnbound .

See RFC 1035 - DOMAIN NAMES - IMPLEMENTATION AND SPECIFICATION .
