Project 2 DNS Server
Weight: 15% of the final mark
Due date: No later than 3:00 pm, Thursday 20 May, 2021 AEST.
Phases
This project should be executed in two phases: one starting now and one in a week’s time. This document
describes both phases; there is only one deliverable
Phase 1 of this project is to design and write as much code as possible without using sockets. This involves
looking up the reference and other resources to understand the format of DNS messages, formatting of log
entries (with timestamps), and thinking about how to achieve caching and non-blocking if those options
are chosen. Example DNS requests and replies are avilable at comp30023-2021-projects/project-2 on
Gitlab. It is strongly recommended that you get Phase 1 working by the end of Week 9.
Phase 2 is to write the socket code, and integrate it with the code written in Phase 1.
Why is it structured as two phases?
All the material for Phase 1 has already been covered in lectures. Hence, you can immediately start work
on this phase. However, Phase 2 uses socket programming, which will not be covered until week 9.
The project is big enough that it is important to start it now, instead of leaving it until week 9.
If all this is confusing, you can treat the project as a single project, and accept the fact that sockets will
not be covered in lectures for a while.
1 Background
Note: This project will contain some reading of standards as well as writing code. If you ever write
an implementation of a protocol, you will need to read standards such as these. Therefore, becoming
familiar with the format and terminology is an important part of the field of computer systems. You will
be pointed to the relevant sections so that you do not spend your whole time reading the more arcane
parts of the text.
The Domain Name System (DNS) provides, among other things, the mapping between human-meaningful
hostnames like lms.unimelb.edu.au and the numeric IP addresses that indicate where packets should
be sent. DNS consists of a hierarchy of servers, each knowing a portion of the complete mapping.
In this project, you will write a DNS server that accepts requests for IPv6 addresses and serves them
either from its own cache or by querying servers higher up the hierarchy. Each transaction consists of at
most four messages: one from your client to you, one from you to your upstream server, one from your
upstream server to you and one from you to your client. The middle two can be sometimes skipped if
you cache some of the answers.
The format for DNS request and response messages are described in [1].
In a DNS system, the entry mapping a name to an IPv6 address is called a AAAA (or “quad A”) record
[2]. Its “record type” is 28 (QType in [2]).
The server will also keep a log of its activities. This is important for reasons such as detecting denial-ofservice
attacks, as well as allowing service upgrades to reflect usage patterns.
For the log, you will need to print a text version of the IPv6 addresses. IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long.
They are represented in text as eight colon-separated strings of 16-bit numbers expressed in hexadecimal.
As a shorthand, a string of consecutive 16-bit numbers that are all zero may be replaced by a single “::”.
Details are in [3].

2 Project specification
Task: Write a miniature DNS server that will serve AAAA queries.
This project has three variants, with increasing levels of difficulty. It is not expected that most students
will complete all tasks; the hard ones are to challenge those few who want to be challenged.
It is expected that about half the class will complete the Standard option (and do it well – you can get
an H1 by getting full marks on this), a third to complete the Cache option, and a sixth to complete
the Non-blocking option. If you think the project is taking too much time, make sure you are doing the
Standard option.
You should create a Makefile that produces an executable named ’dns_svr’.
Submission will be through git and LMS, like the first project.
2.1 Standard option
Accept a DNS “AAAA” query over TCP on port 8053. Forward it to a server whose IPv4 address is
the first command-line argument and whose port is the second command-line argument. (For testing,
use the value in /etc/resolv.conf on your server and port 53). Send the response back to the client
who sent the request, over the same TCP connection. There will be a separate TCP connection for each
query/response with the client. Log these events, as described below.
Note that DNS usually uses UDP, but this project will use TCP because it is a more useful skill for you
to learn. A DNS message over TCP is slightly different from that over UDP: it has a two-byte header
that specify the length (in bytes) of the message, not including the two-byte header itself [4, 5]. This
means that you know the size of the message before you read it, and can malloc() enough space for it.
Assume that there is only one question in the DNS request you receive, although the standard allows
there to be more than one. If there is more than one answer in the reply, then only log the first one,
but always reply to the client with the entire list of answers. If there is no answer in the reply, log the
request line only. If the first answer in the response is not a AAAA field, then do not print a log entry
(for any answer in the response).
The program should be ready to accept another query as soon as it has processed the previous query and
response. (If Non-blocking option is implemented, it must be ready before this too.)
Your server should not shut down by itself. SIGINT (like CTRL-C) will be used to terminate your server
between test cases.
You may notice that a port and interface which has been bound to a socket sometimes cannot be reused
until after a timeout. To make your testing and our marking easier, please override this behaviour by
placing the following lines before the bind() call:
int enable = 1;
if (setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &enable, sizeof(int)) < 0) {
perror("setsockopt");
exit(1);
}
2.2 Cache option
As above, but cache the five (5) most recent answers to queries. Answer directly if possible, instead of
querying the server again.
Note that the ID field of the reply must be changed for each query so that the client doesn’t report an
error. The time-to-live (TTL) field of the reply must also be decremented by the amount of time which
has passed.
Note also that cache entries can expire. A cache entry should not be used once it has expired and a new
query should be sent to the recursive server.
2
If a new answer is received when the cache contains an expired entry, the expired entry (or another
expired entry) should be overwritten. If there is no expired entry, any cache eviction policy is allowed.
Do not cache responses that do not contain answers (i.e., the address was not found). If multiple answers
are returned, only cache the first one.
If you implementing caching, include the line “#define CACHE” in your code. Otherwise, this functionality
will not be tested/marked.
2.3 Non-blocking option
It can sometimes take a while for the server that was queried to give a response. To perform a recursive
DNS lookup, many servers may need to be contacted (when starting from an empty cache, from a root
DNS server down to an authoritative DNS server); any of them may be congested. Meanwhile, another
request may have arrived, which the server cannot respond to if it was blocked by the completion of the
first request.
This option extends both options above and mitigates this problem, by enabling the processing of new
requests while waiting for prior requests to complete.
This may be done using multi-threading, or select(3)/epoll(7). Using multithreading may require
explicit locking of shared resources, such as the cache, whereas a single threaded implementation using
select() will not require that. However, using select() may require significant refactoring if it is not
considered in the initial code design.
If you choose this option, you are expected to read further about multi-threading and/or select() on
your own (extending from week 3 and 10 practicals). This is training for what computer professionals
are expected to do.
Please use only a single process; do not use fork() or other means to create additional processes.
Remember that this is an advanced option; you are able to get 90% without doing it. Your time is
probably better spent ensuring you did well on the other parts. However, if you are realistically aiming
for 15/15, then this option is for you.
If you implement non-blocking, include the line “#define NONBLOCKING” in your code. Otherwise, this
functionality will not be tested/marked.
3 Submission
All code must be written in C (e.g., it should not be a C-wrapper over non C-code) and cannot use any
external libraries or call upon external programs (e.g. exec and parse output). You may use standard
libraries (e.g. to print, parse command line arguments etc.). As a rule of thumb, if you don’t need “-l”
then the library is standard. The maths library, which requires “-lm”, is also standard. If you are unsure
about a library, ask on Piazza.
Your code must compile and run on the provided VMs and produce deterministic output. Signal
handlers which catch SIGSEGV will be removed.
The repository must contain a Makefile which produces an executable named dns_svr, along with all
source files required to compile the executable. Place the Makefile at the root of your repository, and
ensure that running make places the executable there too. Make sure that all source code is committed
and pushed.
Executable files (that is, all files with the executable flag set that are in your repository) will be
removed before marking. Hence, ensure that none of your source files has the executable flag set.
For your own protection, it is advisable to commit and push your code to git regularly. git history
may be considered for matters such as special consideration, extensions and potential plagiarism. Your
commit messages should be a short-hand chronicle of your implementation progress and will be used for
evaluation in the Quality of Software Practices criterion.
You must submit two things:
3
• The full 40-digit SHA1 hash of your chosen commit to the Project 2 Assignment on LMS.
• Your commits to the repository named comp30023-2021-project-2 in the subgroup with your username
of the group comp30023-2021-projects on gitlab.eng.unimelb.edu.au.
You will be allowed to update your chosen commit. However, only the last commit hash submitted to
LMS before the deadline will be marked without late penalty even if you update your git repository
after that. You should ensure that the commit which you submitted is accessible from a fresh clone of
your repository. For example:
git clone https://gitlab.eng.unimelb.edu.au/
comp30023-2021-projects//comp30023-2021-project-2
cd comp30023-2021-project-2 && git checkout
Late submissions will incur a deduction of 2 mark per day (or part thereof).
Extension policy: If you believe you have a valid reason to require an extension, please fill in the form
accessible on Project 2 Assignment on LMS. Extensions will not be considered otherwise. Requests for
extensions are not automatically granted and will be considered on a case by case basis.
3.1 Continous Integration
As for project 1, git has been set up to run some tests on your code every time you push. This is to
help in your debugging. To access the detailed results of the tests, navigate to your project repository
on Gitlab and click the green tick (or red cross) to the left of the short commit hash (above the listing of
files). Then, click the tick/cross under Stages and select the first dropdown item.
The CI will ’fail’ (and you may receive corresponding emails) if you did not pass all the visible test cases
for tasks 1-4.
There are some tests for Phase 1. If your Makefile produces an executable called phase1 then the tests will
be performed on it. There are no marks allocated to the phase1 executable; these tests are only to help
you to debug. The phase1 program must read in a packet from stdin, parse it, and then output the log
entry (to the file ./dns_svr.log) that would have been written if you had received the packet over the
network. A command line argument “query” or “response” will be given to indicate where the packet would
have come from. i.e. we will run command ./phase1 [query|response] <
to invoke your phase1 program.
4 Assessment criteria
4.1 DNS responses
The finished project should be a functional DNS server, for AAAA queries.
4.2 Log
Keep a log at ./dns_svr.log (i.e., in current directory) with messages of the following format:
requested – when you receive a request
unimplemented request – if the request type is not AAAA
expires at – for each request you receive that is in your
cache
replacing by – for each cache eviction
is at – see 2.1
The functions inet_ntop() and inet_pton() are useful for converting between the text version of the
IP address and the 16-byte binary version in the packets. Use man to learn how to use them. Note that
the maximum length of the text version is given by INET6_ADDRSTRLEN, defined in . See
[6] for a discussion.
4
• The field timestamp must not contain spaces. It should be in the ISO8601 format that is generated
by strftime() with the format “%FT%T%z”.
• Fields must be separated by a single space.
• Line endings must be the Unix standard LF (\n) only.
• The log file must contain ASCII characters only. There is no need to perform Punycode conversions.
• Flush the log file after each write (e.g. using fflush(3)). (By default, files on disk are block
buffered, which means that lines written to the log would not appear for a long time. This makes
it difficult for a sysadmin to use the logs to track down problems.)
• Log entries due to cache operation (if implemented) must be printed before those relating to the
cached packet itself.
• Output to stdout and stderr will not be assessed.
• The log file must be readable and writable by the current user (e.g., file permission 0644).
4.3 Error handling
When a request is received for something other than a AAAA record, respond with Rcode 4 (“Not Implemented”)
and log “ unimplemented request”. Do not forward valid non-AAAA responses
to your client; send nothing except what is needed to send the Rcode.
Assumptions that can be made:
• Requests from client and responses from server will always be well-formed DNS packets
• Clients will always send query (QR 0), Server will always send response (QR 1)
• OPCODE is 0, TC is 0, RD is 1
• The server will always be reachable
You may respond with other Rcodes if any of these assumptions are detected to be broken, though this
is not required nor examined.
Real systems code has to be very robust to errors; a bug in the kernel will crash the entire computer,
which may be supporting many VMs, or running a bank’s entire payment system. However, to keep this
project simple, no further error processing is required here.
4.4 Build quality
Running make clean && make -B && ./dns_svr

should start the submission.
If this fails for any reason, you will be notified and be allowed to resubmit (with the usual late penalty).
• Do not commit dns_svr or any other executable or object file (see Practical 2). A 0.5 mark penalty
will be applied if your final commit contains any such files. Executable scripts (with .sh extension)
are excepted.
• make clean must be functional (i.e. it runs successfully, and removes all executable, .o and log
files).
• Compiling using -Wall should yield no warnings.

4.5 Quality of software practices
Factors considered include quality of code, based on:
• proper use of version control, based on the regularity of commit and push events, their content
and associated commit messages (e.g., repositories with few commits pushed near the deadline,
non-informative commit messages will attract mark deductions)
• choice of variable names, comments, formatting (e.g. indentation, line length, line spacing/whitespace)
• abstraction and modularity (making reasonable effort to avoid e.g. duplicate code, long functions,
global variables, repeated uses of magic numbers).
Dividing source code into multiple C files is encouraged; marks will be deducted for any source file more
than 500 lines. When having multiple source files, compilation should occur in stages.
4.6 Caching
Cache behaviour will be evaluated by checking the correct processing of TTL fields, ID fields, and eviction
behaviour, by both the log and the DNS responses.
4.7 Non-blocking operation
Marks for non-blocking operation will be allocated if dns_svr is able to process up to multiple requests
for the user (up to, say, 100), and the matching replies from the server, regardless of the order of these
(except, of course, that replies must be after the requests they are replying to).
5 Assessment process
The marking in this project is mainly based on meeting criteria in a testing framework. This is similar
to test-driven development (TDD). This is sometimes called “automated marking”, but thinking of it as
TDD reflects the fact that this approach is widely used outside of university.
Most of the tests are available in Gitlab’s Continuous Integration (CI) feature, and so it is important
that you commit regularly and check the CI output. Similar to project 1, there are also hidden tests.
The feedback on CI is indicative of the marks that you will receive for these cases.
Of the 11 marks for program execution, 6 come from cases in CI, and 5 come from tests not in CI.
The marks are broken down as follows:
Task # Marks Task In CI Not in CI
1 3 Correctly sending DNS responses 1.85 1.15
2 4 Correct log output, excluding cache 2.30 1.70
3 1 Error handling 0.30 0.70
4 2 Build quality 2 0
5 2 Quality of software practices 0 2
6 1.5 Caching 0.75 0.75
7 1.5 Non-blocking operation 0.80 0.70
6 Collaboration
You may discuss this project abstractly with your classmates but what gets typed into your program
must be individual work, not copied from anyone else. Do not share your code and do not ask others to
give you their programs. Do not post your code on subject’s discussion board Piazza. The best way to
6
help your friends in this regard is to say a very firm “no” if they ask to see your program, pointing out
that your “no”, and their acceptance of that decision, are the best way to preserve your friendship. See
https://academicintegrity.unimelb.edu.au for more information.
Note also that solicitation of solutions via posts to online forums, whether or not there is payment
involved, is also Academic Misconduct. You should not post your code to any public location (e.g.,
github) while the assignment is active or prior to the release of the assignment marks.
If you use any code not written by you, you must attribute that code to the source you got it from (e.g.,
a book or Stack Exchange).
Plagiarism policy
You are reminded that all submitted project work in this subject is to be your own individual work.
Automated similarity checking software may be used to compare submissions. It is University policy that
cheating by students in any form is not permitted, and that work submitted for assessment purposes
must be the independent work of the student concerned.
Using git is an important step in the verification of authorship.
7 Questions for reflection
These do no need to be submitted, but will help you understand the subject. You are welcome to discuss
them.
1. Why should requests be accepted on port 8053 by default? Why not 53? Why not 8000?
2. What is a AAAA record?
3. How secure is DNS? How could it be attacked?
4. How efficient is DNS?
5. What are the xxd and od utilities? How could they be used for debugging?
6. If you have your project running on your VM, what will the following command do?
$ dig +tcp @127.0.0.1 -p 8053 AAAA example.com
