Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Question regarding capturing DNS packets with tshark

[<bbrelin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Stuart,

 

Thanks for the response.  I changed it to tshark –s 512 –V port 53 udp.  I’m still not getting what I want here... Here’s some sample output...

 

Domain Name System (response)

    [Request In: 12]

    [Time: 0.000264000 seconds]

    Transaction ID: 0xc837

    Flags: 0x8080 (Standard query response, No error)

        1... .... .... .... = Response: Message is a response

        .000 0... .... .... = Opcode: Standard query (0)

        .... .0.. .... .... = Authoritative: Server is not an authority for domain

        .... ..0. .... .... = Truncated: Message is not truncated

        .... ...0 .... .... = Recursion desired: Don't do query recursively

        .... .... 1... .... = Recursion available: Server can do recursive queries

        .... .... .0.. .... = Z: reserved (0)

        .... .... ..0. .... = Answer authenticated: Answer/authority portion was not authenticated by the server

        .... .... ...0 .... = Non-authenticated data: Unacceptable

        .... .... .... 0000 = Reply code: No error (0)

    Questions: 1

Queries

        kindleatt1.amazon.com.mnc410.mcc310.gprs: type A, class IN

            Name: kindleatt1.amazon.com.mnc410.mcc310.gprs

            Type: A (Host address)

            Class: IN (0x0001)

Authoritative nameservers

        <Root>: type NS, class IN, ns B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET

            Name: <Root>

            Type: NS (Authoritative name server)

            Class: IN (0x0001)

            Time to live: 41 days, 16 hours

            Data length: 20

            Name server: B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET

 

<Lots more of the Authoritative nameserver records follow>

Finally, I get an “Additional records” section. 

 

Nothing that shows me the actual resolved IP address...There doesn’t seem to be an “answer” section.

 

Thanks,

 

Braun Brelin

Hi Braun,

I'm guessing that the frame you posted got truncated ... in the DNS frame I'm examining right now, directly after the 'Queries' section, is an 'Answers' section, which contains the IP address

I don't have a story as to how that would happen though ... had you captured with 'tshark -s 64 -V port 53 udp', then we'd have a story ... but I see no sign of 'slicking' on your tshark command line.

hope this scoots you closer to an answer to your question,

Hi all,

 

I’m have a question regarding capturing DNS traffic with tshark.   I do a fairly simple command:

 

Tshark –V port 53 udp

 

 

I’m getting output like so:

 

 

Domain Name System (response)

    [Request In: 1]

    [Time: 0.000380000 seconds]

    Transaction ID: 0x0954

    Queries

        blackberry.net.mnc002.mcc505.gprs: type A, class IN

            Name: blackberry.net.mnc002.mcc505.gprs

            Type: A (Host address)

            Class: IN (0x0001)

 

 

 

This is in response to a query about an A record. 

 

My question is:  Where is the actual IP address that gets returned in the DNS response? 

 

Basically, all I want to do is capture DNS queries their responses and find out exactly what IP address is getting sent back to the client from the server. 

 

Any help appreciated.
