DNS Information hiding
One of the funniest ways of using DNS is by hiding information in it. DNS, as the name goes, is more about distributing Domain information. However, some people, who think differently had other ideas about it. I used the idea to hide one of my perl programs in a dns server I have access to. Execute the following line as a single command and wait for the outcome.
How to do it
There are two different source I have for it. I wrote the first one, on a cold winter day when I had nothing to do. And the other code I recieved in my mail to show me what a pathetic perl coder I am :)
My Code
A better code by Ramki(at)vtc.taos.com
dig @beta.royans.net beta.royans.net axfr | grep '^host' | sort | cut -b8-39
| perl -e 'while(
){print pack("H32",$_)}' | gzip -qd
How does the real DNS look line ?
Its pretty dirty :) But have a look anyway.
