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

[Stuart Kendrick <skendric@xxxxxxxxx>]

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

    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

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

    Questions: 1

    Answer RRs: 0

    Authority RRs: 13

    Additional RRs: 1

    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.
