Analyze DNS traffic with EchoDNS

EchoDNS is a powerful tool designed to analyze DNS traffic by acting as a DNS server, intercepting and forwarding requests to a real DNS server of your choice without being detected. It offers a multithreading feature to process requests more efficiently, and a built-in garbage collector automatically cleans up stuck threads, ensuring optimal performance.

• Intercept and analyze DNS traffic
• Forward DNS packets to a real DNS server (default: Google DNS)
• Efficient multithreading for improved performance
• Automatic thread cleanup using a built-in garbage collector
• Command-line configuration for customizing various parameters

• sudo (admin) privileges: EchoDNS requires administrative privileges to operate effectively because port 53 is usually reserved. You need root permission to use that port.

Follow these simple steps to get started with EchoDNS:

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
2. Ensure you have Python 3+ installed (link to Python installation guide).
3. Install the required dependencies using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Modify the configuration using command-line arguments:

usage: echodns.py [-h] [-d DNS] [-t THREADS] [-a AGE] [-p PORT] [-i IP] [-l LOG_SIZE]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d DNS, --dns DNS     DNS server to forward requests to (default: Google DNS)
  -t THREADS, --threads THREADS
                        Max amount of threads (default: 100)
  -a AGE, --age AGE     Max age of thread in seconds (default: None)
  -p PORT, --port PORT  Local port to listen (default: 53)
  -i IP, --ip IP        Local IP to listen (default: 127.0.0.1)
  -l LOG_SIZE, --log-size LOG_SIZE
                        Max size of log in KB (default: 100KB)

5. Run the EchoDNS script with sudo privileges and customize the parameters as needed:

sudo python echodns.py -d 8.8.8.8 -t 200 -a 3 -p 53 -i 192.168.1.10 -l 512000

Example output:

If you are using Linux (or anything else with grep), just pipe the output through it to filter for an explicit domain.

sudo python3 echodns.py | grep google.com
