Linux Kernel Module program to obtain domain name from IP

[Hettiarachchige Hasitha Shan]

Thank you for your responses sirs and the advice. My target is to,

1. Intercept SYN packet
2. Obtain the destination IP address
3. Resolve the TLD of that IP
4. then bind each packet to queues depending on the TLD

I will check on nslookup, open DNS client utilities and dns_resolver libraries as you experts suggested :)

Best Regards,
H. Hasitha Shan

There's a research project called Name Based Sockets where this have been done.
Take a look at: https://www.sics.se/projects/name-based-sockets
If you search for name based sockets on Google you will find a kernel module and user space code doing this.

DNS can actually use both TCP and UDP.

Yeah. Doing DNS lookups (forward or reverse) is complicated.

There's a dns_query function in the kernel (net/dns_resolver), which

apparently upcalls into user space, but I'd avoid dealing with DNS in

the kernel at all.



Just pass the IP address to user space and let it deal with it. There

are plenty of DNS libraries available. Odds are you need to pass the

resulting information to user space anyway, so you're not really losing

anything.



What are you trying to accomplish anyway?

Kristof
