Simple C++ library designed for encoding and decoding of DNS protocol packets. It doesn't provide any functionality related to network (listening for packets, sending packets, etc.). Library is strictly focused on handling of DNS protocol packets - mapping of raw (wire) data to C++ structures (classes) and vice versa.

Current implementation covers:

• RFC 1035 - DOMAIN NAMES - IMPLEMENTATION AND SPECIFICATION
• RFC 2915 - The Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) DNS Resource Record
• RFC 3596 - DNS Extensions to Support IP Version 6

Other tests:

• checked with valgrind tool (valgrind --leak-check=full ./unittests)
• linted with cppcheck (cppcheck --enable=all *cpp)
• fake server tested against Codenomicon DNS suite

Install cmake tool:

sudo apt install cmake

Create build directory:

mkdir build && cd build

Generate build artfacts:

cmake ../src

Build binaries:

make

Run unittests:

./unittests
