udpovdns

A simple UDP over DNS implementation, containing a sample server and client.

Code quality is close to abysmall, the code is unreliable in multiple ways and has a plethora of different dependencies it shouldn't have, like being C++ code that only appears C-ish, needing a Perl runtime with particular extensions, and not being reentrant (!!!).

In essence, this project exists only because of a course assignment, and this is the reason for the rudimentary code quality and proof-of-concept-ish execution.

There are MULTIPLE better solutions than this code and I'd strongly advise any sane person to use something different.

Requirements

In order to compile the client application, the user needs g++ (not gcc!) and make.

In order to run the client application (or anything using the DNS implementation of standard networking routines), Perl is needed. (To be removed)

The server-side depends on Python 2.7+ and the Twisted framework.

NOTE

The server component requires an installation of the Twisted framework, version >= 13.2.0. This is needed due to the usage of the adoptDatagramPort() function, that is available in a specific reactor, and reactor selection is available only in newer versions of Twisted.
