INTRO
|
||||
|
||||
dnswalk is a DNS debugger. It performs zone transfers of specified
|
||||
domains, and checks the database in numerous ways for internal
|
||||
consistency, as well as accuracy.
|
||||
|
||||
dnswalk requires perl and the Net::DNS Perl package. If you do not have
|
||||
these, get them. (perl is assumed to be in /usr/local/bin, edit the first
|
||||
line of dnswalk if it is not)
|
||||
|
||||
They can be found by at:
|
||||
http://www.perl.com/perl/
|
||||
|
||||
dnswalk used to require 'dig' (part of the BIND distribution). However,
|
||||
different versions of dig gave output which was ever so slightly different,
|
||||
causing dnswalk to break. (This is usually easy to fix, even in a
|
||||
backward-compatible fashion, but it was annoying nonetheless) Also,
|
||||
using an external program made error checking more difficult and not
|
||||
very reliable. Since error checking is the heart of what dnswalk is about,
|
||||
this wasn't good. I finally got off my duff and ported dnswalk to Michael
|
||||
Fuhr's Net::DNS package, something I've been wanting to do for a while.
|
||||
(actually another reason I waited so long was the Net::DNS package wasn't
|
||||
complete enough initially for for a complete port.)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
dnswalk is not for the faint of heart. It should NOT be used
|
||||
without a firm knowledge of the DNS RFC's. The warnings and errors
|
||||
must be interpreted within the context they are being used. Something
|
||||
may be flagged as a warning, but in reality it is a really bad error.
|
||||
Conversely dnswalk will flag things as warnings and possibly even
|
||||
errors, but they may actually be perfectly "legal" or normal in your
|
||||
specific situation. dnswalk is not an AI engine. It just provides
|
||||
useful information which you need to interpret. If you use this tool
|
||||
for cracking or otherwise evil purposes, the author hereby considers
|
||||
you a slime-ball. See the end of this README file for a list of good
|
||||
reading material.
|
||||
|
||||
dnswalk is not a replacement for doc, although dnswalk is starting
|
||||
to incorporate some of the things doc checks for. dnswalk was written to
|
||||
check individual database entries, while 'doc' ensures that the overall
|
||||
database structure and authority records are consistent. dnswalk may
|
||||
not even function correctly (or find real problems) if authority records
|
||||
are missing or incorrect.
|
||||
|
||||
This program may be freely distributed, as long as this notice
|
||||
and documentation are distributed with the program. This program is
|
||||
released as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Some assembly
|
||||
required, contents may settle during shipment. This program can be
|
||||
found at
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~barr/dnswalk/
|
||||
|
||||
dnswalk tends to produce lots of output, so I'd suggest
|
||||
redirecting this into a file of your choice. I debated using doc's
|
||||
strategy of automatically putting it in a logfile, but decided not
|
||||
to. (The author reserves the right to change his mind) For small,
|
||||
mostly-correct domains it is pretty manageable, however. For larger
|
||||
domains, use the included 'do-dnswalk' script as a guide.
|
||||
|
||||
Please refer to the man page on what dnswalk checks for, and
|
||||
the format of the output.
|
||||
|
||||
*** NOTICE ***
|
||||
I fully realize that while some of the rules are not in
|
||||
violation of an RFC, it might be wise to reconsider their usage
|
||||
anyway. dnswalk was written to be a tool to let the hostmaster decide
|
||||
what are troublesome areas, not as a program that has all the answers.
|
||||
*** NOTICE ***
|
||||
|
||||
This program was originally tested with data from the psu.edu domain.
|
||||
If your site does things differently than the way we do things, then you
|
||||
may see it report things as errors, when in fact they are "okay".
|
||||
If you notice something not being reported, or something reported that
|
||||
is not an error, please send me output! I fully admit that I'm not
|
||||
an expert in DNS and the requirements. My rules tend to be skewed to
|
||||
my personal feelings about what "nice" DNS databases look like. Others
|
||||
are free to differ. (and tell me so)
